Melvin Stickney He was a young Beau Brum- mel in bloom, His clothes and his manners were nifty He was especially fond, Of a little blond, Of these he had about two-fifty.

Her name is Freda Theis. fContinued on Page 391 ---..E-- rw-, A..----- A Ridy Made Fmily The junior class play entitled A Ready Made Family was pre- sented as a matinee on Friday, Vlarch 27, and at 8 o'clock, Satur- day evening, The play was co- coached by Miss Buchannan and Mrs. Rider who were assisted by Mary Van Winkle.

THE VIEWPOINT-l 935-36 this poem should be difficult, fOr to look at Reed is to think of poetry, - The birds sing gaily in the trees. Olive Gillaspie Then there's Oliveg one could say many things about her too. You see, This young vamp is very good at playing child's part in plays. Could she be in her second child-hood?? We won- der. Again the poet has an inspir- ation, but to no avail, she just can't organize her material. Here is what she jotted down. Flossie is very reserved, As quiet as can be, Her lonely life is we-ll deserved, She has no brains you see. Irene Henson My poor, dear dead brother Horatial, If only he 'Were alive -Aunt Lydia or Irene Henson, it makes no difference. She stole the play and Tiny too. Assistant editor on the P dz G, she's the most razzed girl in school. However she can take it and this makes her a very popular girl. She's a poet, but you wouldn't know it, Here goes again- Edward Keyser A sheik of finest type was he, Sporting a bow-tie with spats fketchupj And as fond of the girls, as he could be, And in return they liked him lots . V ernon Lunsford There is a freckled junior nam- ed Lunsford. Who liked a little girl named Badousek, He drives around in a model T Fordg And will this poem make him sick, Duard Henderson Here is another poet's de- light, but again words failed our scribe. Dainty, sweet-na- 'FOI' T0 lS0'I l'0Nl,Left To Right: John liudousvk Virginia lfildfilliflk Jack liirkvtf Maurice Brnenr-bar-In Leona Brant Sethyne Brant Leonard Cornell Edna Eddy Marjorie Fra-nc-I1 Kenneth Gardner Reed Garrison Olive Gilluspie tured, delicate, refined, studi- ous, quiet, serious, one could go on forever describing Chuck's personality. Perhaps we'd bet- ter stick to his personality at that. We won't mention his feet, their size, and strength. His nickname, Suitcase, is well fitted to those dainty ap- pendages. Hubert McMeen A very bashful boy is this young man, Just as shy as he can be, He hasn't got a car, So he oftens travels far, Walking, as you probably did see. Celeste Meyer She is a dark complected girl, Her favorite color is blue, She's never on time, I must make this thing rhyme, So she always says Nuts to you-H Harold Parker Harold was a noisy little lad He talked all day long He was disappointed and very sad When he couldn t sing a song. Y Myrtle Porter She was the Big Emma of every side show, And ate 20 meals each day, She weighed over 300 and yet some to go. QWhile reducing she went with- out pay.J Merle Schneider Professor Schneider will soon be his name, Teaching his subject of law, His assignments will be long, Which will seldom be wrong, And helll be a second Kaga- wa . Wilma Sherman She is known from coast to coast For her famous tapping feet, And for this she really does boast, And she says HI cannot be beat . Wanda Stahll A beautiful co-ed is Wanda, She came from the city of Tor- onto, She has a prominent nose, And dances on her toes, And often says I don't Wan- ta.
