1928 JUNIOR HIGH BROADCASTER Tulip Time Y Now! Don't you agree with us that Tulip Time was a big hit? And wasn't it worth every bit of the hard work we put into it? But then, of course, it was impossible for it to be otherwise when the hearty and loyal support of every student of Junior High was behind its production. Even if everyone couldn't be in the cast you all backed it up fine when it came to attendance and ticket selling and we all want to thank you. It is of no need to tell you of the various characters and choruses that went over a howling success but because good things can't be repeated too often, let's go over the story again. The village, enjoying a holiday, is startled by the arrival of a party of American Tourists, college students under the leadership of Professor McSpindle, a tutor in botany, to study tulip culture. Two of the party, Ned and Dick, are much more interested in Christina and her friend, Katinka. News reaches the village that a thief has been stealing choice bulbs of prize tulips, and a. handbill describes the thief and offers a reward for his capture. Ned and Dick influence lVlcSpindle to wear certain clothing answering the description of the 'tulip thief. When the Burgomaster beholds lVlcSpindle so attired he causes his arrest. With McSpindle out of the way, Ned and Dick promote their friendship with the girls, and learn that Christina's stock is, unknown to her, of immense value. They reveal the truth to her and thwart the Burgomaster's attempt to get rick quick at her expense. With the assistance of Christina's aunt, the innocence of McSpindle is established and the latter declares his affections for herg and with the prospect of a triple wedding the final curtain falls. Slevkvlfbkfkvk Class Poem Q . Colne listen to me, while to you I relate The wonders of our class of '28g Cf Class President, Helen, we could say quite a bit, But sufficient to tell you she made quite a hit. Josephine, our vice president, you all know is so gay She is loved by all for her jovial way. Our Secretary, Sue, performed her duties so well Of all her good points we never could tell. Marguerite took great care of all the class money, Now, one and all, she's really a 'honey'. Bob DeLong, to be sure is really girl shy If he sees a girl, he'll almost die. Ejay too, is a woman hater bold, You'd never think it if you weren't told. Clyde North is a fellow who is great on gum. He chews and chews, but he isn't'so dumb. Pearl McCracken's the lady who has some mouth, We hear she is planning some day to go -south.

JUNIOR HIGH BROADCASTER 1928 Social events which proved to be very entertaining to all were held by individual sections. 9B held a leap year party at the home of Imogene Kneppg the fast steppers of 9C held a Weiner roastg 9A held a valentine party at the home of Josephine Corbett, 9D climbed the heights of Juniata Terrace to enjoy themselves at the home of Helen Georgeg 9F held their section party in the social room at the High School. The Girl's Glee Club of the class of 1928, rendered some very pleasing selections of music in assembly. We later heard that some of the eighth grade boys lost part of their sleep that day in assembly because of the terrible singing . Altho' 9th Grade has not reached the 100W point in Banking, they have saved many dollars in the attempt. This point might have been reached if the mighty warriors of 9G had put their money in the bank instead of buying candy for their girl friends at Christmas and Easter. The Dramatic Club organized by Miss Barnett staged a play, Bimbo, the Pirate, in which Helen Rarie 5 her father, Earl Printz 5 and her sweet- heart, John Gorman, were captured by Bimbo, the pirate, impersonated by Jim Liggett. They were very fortunate in their choice of a pirate for Bimbo only drank hard liquor in case of a chill. No swearing was ever al- lowed on his ship. No husband was allowed to kiss his wife on Sunday. Women were never allowed on board his ship except Saturday afternoon, then only the Wives of husbands accompanied by the wives mother. The proceeds of this play were taken to pay for the curtains which have so improved the stage. Though Bimbo the Pirate was a great success, the real crisis of the years work in Dramatics was reached in our spring operetta Tulip Time. In this operetta, our comedians kept the audience convulsed with laughter. Wm. Metzger and E. J. Heeter with their partners, Margaret Giles and Helen Rarie and their Chaperon, Josephine Knepp sang to please us, and a bevy of Dutch lads and lassies clicked their wooden shoes to our amusement. - With the operetta came the spring exhibit and after these great events we settled down to finish our work in Junior High School and to prepare for commencement week. - Another chapter in our life's history is written and we, with the true meaning of commencement in view, are looking forward to a success- ful career in High School.

Next year we enter Senior High, With determination strong to do or die.
