Outstanding people ill the Junior Class are: In the play Before Breakfast , Ann Stayanoff our talky of the class, Richard Crick. smart boy, Bob Spenn, our great debater and Barry Brennan our boy from Boston took part. In the operetta, The Flower of Venesiaf' Marjorie Nell Harper, Georgianna Davidson, a new girl this year, Dorothea Monce. Dora lllcllaken, and David VVelch appear. Junior boys whonl I see all decked out in their red sweaters and Els are: Mike Trott, Paul Kennner, Bob McCoy, Byrd Grear, Paul Baker and Elton Springer. And now what I have been so anxious to see is here, the Junior Proni, the affair of affairs at Elinhurst. Bly, what a nice looking crowd! And look at the frilly dresses of every design and color imaginable! And there's the Prom Queen. none otl1e1' than blonde Phyllis Reed. Doesn't she look pretty, especially in that ruffled blue dress and her crown! She certainly deserves her place. There are her attendants. lVho are they! I,et's see. there's Dorothea Monce in pink, Blarjorie Nell Harper in blue and white, Henerietta Meyer in peach and Berneice Graft in flowered chiffon. They certainly look nice. Now look at the ClCC0l'21lflOllS. Aren't they quaint! An old- fashioned garden! There's a little white picket fence along the walls. and behind it are arranged rows of gay little daisies and poppies. above which tower stately hollyhocks. Morning glories are entwined on the fence. And what cute little fan-shaped trellises above the doors! And of course here's the old oaken bucket and wishing well. right in the back of the gyni, without which no old-fashioned garden would be complete. In the center of the floor. there is a tiny rock garden, surrounded by a white picket fence. There are those bright daisies and poppies again. and right in the center of the enclosure is a crystal gazing globe which reflects the stars shining through a sky of solid blue. How real it all looks.! lVell, there's Ca1'l Brenner's orchestra and is it good! There's the Elmhurst faculty which acted as chaperones. There are the Nis- wander sisters and their brother. All three did a little dance. I guess they are certainly fast steppers. All in all, the Proni was a successful and wonderful affair. lVhat! The last picture? Aw. gee! Oh, well I'll just look for- ward to the pictures of that snappy class next year. Success to you!

hurt someone had you ever struck them with your feet. I know by looking at this group. they had a marvelous time. Now, now, I see those agonized faces again. lNIust be exam time. VVell. well. another party. This time the sophomores do look their part--sophisticated. They're all dressed up and sitting at card tables playing bunco. But look at those grins! They are certainly having fun. I see some kids dancing in the background. There's Mr. and Mrs. Smutts. Mike. Bob McCoy, and a few others are very generous, I heard. giving all their points to someone else and staying at one table practically all evening. Some of the outstanding people in the class during the year: Bill Hargrave is one of the cheer leaders of the school. In the oper- etta. Miss Cherry Blossom . Dorothea Monce, a popular. blue-eyed blonde of the class had a character part. David lVelch, the red-head- ed boy of the class. and somtimes an awful, awful, pest. also had a character part. Others in the class were in the chorus. Sophomores on the girl's varsity basketball are: Jeanette Van Buskirk. Hilda Ditzenberger, Georgia Prince and Thelma Simmons. Sophomores on the boys va1'sity basketball a1'e: lllike Trott. Byrd Grear. Paul Kemmer, Bob McCoy, Elton Springer, and Harry Spice. And now the whole group. smiling as usual, look forward to their next year in high. They are the Juniors. Although some hate to leave the sophisticated class. most of them would rather join the jolly. undiginiiied, class of Juniors. without doubt. the most exciting year in high school. And now, after a summer's vacation, they are back again and are ready to begin this exciting year. This year they have efficient Bob Carriger for chief. Betty Brinton his assistant. Doretha Monce as secretary and Marjorie Nell Harper as treasurer. Miss Cress is their choice for class sponsor. Gee. that fire looks swell and those kids roasting weiners and marshmallows! VVhat is it? VVhy. it's the Junior VVeiner Bake. and they had a treasure hunt before eating. I guess it was really ditlicult. They had two trials and here are the leaders, Mike Trott. and Bill Hargrave, both little fellows but in spite of that, they look real capable. By the satisfied looks on Vera's, Lou's and Josephine 'l'hurber's faces. I have decided that they found the t1'easure. But whoever found it certainly deserved it after their long tramp. I see Miss Cress and Mr. Eickhoff, and do tell, theyfre holding hands. VVell here's the candy counter and here we see Bernice Graft, Betty Brinton, Dorothea Monce and Marjorie Nell Harper. Berneice is the manager.

They had come to invade this land in search of an education which they knew lay behind the rocks of a hard and perilous journey. Being shaken in spirit from their rough voyage on the Era of Experience, they were at first quite terrified by the three tribes already inhabiting this realm. One tribe, called the Sophomores. especially delighted in taunting and ridicul- ing the newcomers, who called themselves Freshmen, which in the language of the realm meant 'Lgreenf' But it was not long before the l reslnnen, with more push behind the sw01'd and a greater determina- tion. had fully established themselves in the new country. In a few weeks the usual taunts were drowned in praise, and the climax came when the rulers. known as the faculty, excused all of them from tak- lllg' the Mid-Year Exams: but knowing that their teachers would not feel at home without a few excellent papers to mark Perfect, they took those dreaded exams and passed with flying colors.
