IUNIORS Our Class is ten in number, And we wish you all would remember That although you can only see nine of us, There are ten, and it you keep that in mind it will be tine with us. President Kermit Morgan is THE class oiticerg lerre Sweeney is Gold team manager, Sally Watkins and Betty Claire Plagge- ineyer Are, from our grade, the two Student Councilorsy Kakkie Rosborough is Girls' Club Treasurer And Pen Pointe's editor: And Glee Club's president is Robert Taylor. And then there are those who distin- guish themselves in an athletic way, Like Franny Oberteufter and Bettey Sweeney, who on the varsity basket' ball team play: And Iohn Singer, and Kermit, and Bob who iuniorize the varsity football and varsity basketball teams. ln this case, the boys are better than the girls, it seems. And last, But not least, is Mademoiselle who homerooms our class, Who is a vivacious lady trom Reims, And who has not approved at all times ot Myrt's behavior, ie crainsw But, l forgot Ot Myrt, l have told you not. And l have told you that there were ten in our grade, And since that has been sade, l must explain that the tenth is Myrt, Expert, At getting into trouble, The double Of anyone in our grade who does wrong, Like skipping steps, running in halls, chewing gum, keeping a messy desk, or in study hall humming a song. But, it on Myrt, you want more dope, Buy our next year's Periscope. R ,N 1 ,,.-no ,Y Ah ff. 5,2 ,JE'
