THE SPUDPICKER— Chorus Next year we plan to arrange the schedule so that Chorus may be included as a regular 40 minute recitation every day. We are anticipating that this may be more satisfactory, both to the students and faculty. We were disappointed last fall in that we were unable to present the operetta on which we had spent so much time and work, due to the fact that the installing of the stage scenery was delayed until after Christmas. The second semester was so filled with other activities that again the operetta was postponed. We are looking forward to the accomplishment of greater results from the members of the chorus should we succeed in making it a part of the daily routine. Miss Melvin §rhool (Calendar (Continued from page 16) NOVEMBER 4. In the football game at Dalton the boys were changing goal posts at the end of the first quarter, when Miss Spence ejaculated: “For heaven’s sake, look where our boys are getting penalized to!” 7. Everyone was excited and thought that William Perrine had at last learned to Charleston, but we afterwards found out that he had only slipped on the top step. 8. Miss Melvin (in American History)—“In case the President and all of his cabinet should die, who would officiate?” Jason Wiltsey—“The undertaker.” 9. There are some questions that are asked daily, especially “Did you bring your excuse?” 11. Tie football game with Harrison. Several went to Alliance in the after- noon to witness the Chadron-Greely game. 14. Miss Gregg (trying to make Cyril Norris translate a Latin verb as swim) “What would you do if you were overturned in the middle of a lake?” Cyril—“I’d sink!” 15. You can always tell a Senior, he’s so sedately gowned. You can always tell a Junior, he’s the high school campus hound. You can always tell a Freshman by his green and frightened mien. But just try to tell a Sophomore—ANYTHING! (Continued on Page 40) —21—

■THE SPUDPICKER' ifunior (Hass iHistary We were an awed and trembling group of Freshmen that entered high school in the fall of 1925. They were: Bud Badger, Walter Carter, Myrle Cory, Martha Boyles, Lillian Ervine, Pauline Estes, Opal Gipple, Miles Hughes, Clifford Harris, Isabella Head- den, Charles Hoppock, Irma Johnson, Milford Johns, Lena King, Elmer Mart, Eula Myers,, Gertrude Miller, Delbert Peterson, Viola Peterson, Lyle Pippitt, Emil Prochazka, Carl Rath, Onalene Schneider, Wayne Shaver, and Lyle Scott. We were unused to the new life we were to take up but very anxious to learn from Prof. Hering what we could do that would please him most. When the novelty of the affair had worn off we had more confidence in our- selves to go on with the comedy that Prof. Hering had started. In this we succeeded fairly well in way of Clifford Harris’ tomfoolery and Bud Badger’s nonsense together with Isabella’s slow and clumsy movements and Lena King’s dignified ways, which though well meant were not much appreciated. Miss Overton found it hard to turn Irma’s and Viola’s attentions from flirting with the Latin and Algebra lessons which in the mind of our feithful instructor were much the most important things we could have taken up. These lessons, by the way, were delightful to some of the students and decidedly detestable to others, which was shown in the way they were pursued by the different students. The all-important Wayne Shaver held the office of president during this, our first year. Opal Gipple was vice-president and Bud Badger, secretary-treasurer. Miss Overton was our sponsor for the first semester and Mr. Nash for the second. The social events of the year were an Initiation party given us by the upper classmen, and an invitation party by the Freshmen. We also enjoyed a successful skip day at the end of the term. Thus the ever improving class was prepared for enrollment the next fall, more fully determined to reach the goal, Graduation. In our Sophomore year we did not have Walter Carter, Martha Boyles, Miles Hughes, and Charles Hoppock with us to complete the journey but our new members were Dorothy Reynolds, Agnes Hovorka, Ralph Porter, Leona Appleyard, and Wilbur West. Of this class Opal Gipple, Dorothy Reynolds and Wilbur West did not finish the term. Our class officers were Wayne Shaver, president, Irma Johnson, vice-presi- dent, Gertrude Miller, secretary-treasurer, and Miss Koenke, succeeded by Mr. Stringer sponsor. Those of the class who had lost some of their bashfulness decided to take part in the school activities. They were: Irma Johnson, Onalene Schneider, Emil Pro- chazka, and Milford Johns, in Orchestra; Pauline Estes, Irma Johnson, Lena King, Ona- lene Schneider, Leona Appleyard, Milford Johns, Wayne Shaver, Myrle Cory, and Wilbur West in Chorus; Irma Johnson and Viola Peterson in Latin Club and Leona Appleyard was on the girls’ basketball team.
