ORCHIDS TO UNDERCLASSMEN Finding it impossible to present orchids to underclassmen because of present conditions, we must be content with obtaining what we may. Fewer flowers of all kinds are in existence this year, for so many gardens have been converted into Victory vegetable gardens. We found it necessary to go into our own wilds in search of spring flowers. Being a time for all-out patriotism, we decided that bouquets of red, white, and blue would be in order. The blue and white were easily recognized by white dotted on a blanket of blue as in the flag. Upon examining the phenomenon more closely, they proved to be boys and girls against deep velvet blue violets. We felt well pleased with our success so far. However, no one could direct our searching party to the source of the missing red. Finally, only by accident, we chanced upon a bed of delicate red lilies. They were of rare beauty and blended well with our bouquet. Our searching ended, we returned home. May they symbolize our aim of Victory and ever- lasting freedom. To the following who have proved to be outstanding in some of the little things which make strong American youths, may we present our flowers: T0 Frederick McDonald Harold Townsend Helen Carl Betty Cortright Ellyn Beystrum Jennett, Doxey Bonnie Brandstetter Morris Hill Ella Fisher Beatrice Bush Maxine Cooper Milo Coldren Charleen Cappon Sally Goodyear Gretchen Vandervoort Patty Tyler Bob Stowell Esther Ragla Merilyn Zuttermeister F011 Active participation in curricular activities Country boy's ability to play basketball Activity in dramatics.
