JUNIORS I noliced Ihal Miss Wright Ioolced ralher weary as I wallced inlo her room, so I decided thai she rnusl' have had a hard day. Considering the tact 'rhal I also had had a hard day, I Iurlher decided lhat this interview would be rather short And so it is. Miss Wrighl said, I suppose you're alter Ihe activities ol the iunior room. Well, Ihey've been active enough when I've seen them. I mighl even say wriggly. She hesilaled. 'IOI course, this is all off fhe record. I don'I want Io be quoledf' I assured her that she would and she continued.

'The iuniors had Iheir usual allotment ol sales in the hall, but lor some reason Iperhaps because Ihey sold ice cream sandwiches all winrerl they did nol malce much money from Ihem. In tact they made very Iil+Ie. She laughed, and so did I. Finally they de- cided I'o resurrect 'rhe Flirlalion Wallc, which had been laid tenderly Io rest a year ago. The iuniors adiudged il a huge success, lhe magnilicenl sum of 'rhirty-seven dollars having been collecled. I suppose Ihe dance war a success. I hasfened 'ro agree with her, but my spirils were considerably dampened when she said, HI mean, there was plenly of ghaslly purple Iighl lhrown about and a good, screechy orcheslra. I must beg of you 'ro keep Ihese revelations in the strictest confidence. And once more I Iervenlly reassured her that I would. Next she continued, came Ihe Roxy Thea- ter parly.
