E EPI-IANT PARTY Mary Kathyrn lohnson finally tears away from her friends and offers that ''how-to-win-friend5-and-influence-people'' disposition of hers to Donna Gaf- faney. With Donna's own sweet disposition plus that of Iohnnie's she ought to be a wow! Mary Kathyrn leaves her dramatic talent to Iacauie King, who, we hope, will make good use of it. Opal Lee Field leaves her many, many international relations scrap books to Miss Pitkin. We know Miss Pitkin will appreciate Cpal's thoughtfulness and we hope she finds time in her busy school life to read them from cover to cover. Opal's rapid speech, which is really quite an art, she leaves to Connie Hopkins. Connie Carter leaves her books of Dorothy Parker to Bette Clark. Here's hoping she gets around to reading them. The Can of Simonize CConnie's own special brand, which may or may not work as well for someone elsel she leaves to Bonnie. Margaret Brogan leaves her diet to lacquie King. As Marg didn't get thin perhaps Iacauie will, on trying it, get fat. Marg leaves her sister Cwe haven'i asked loan's consentl to leanne Clark. leneviv Boyd is finally induced to part with her membership card in the Liars' Club, of which she was a life member, to Donna Cfaffaney. No more tall stories Ienil Quackery, that's what it is. And that infernal machine, the eye- lash curler, goes to Mary lane Strong. We hope she will be able to keep her lashes untangled now. Buth Bowen leaves those distinguished eyebrows to Florence Clausen, who ought to be fairly well outfitted by now. Her P. M. A. love letters go to- guess who? The incineratorefooled, weren't you? Doris Clark leaves her vagueness to Mary lane Strong and her lovely boi- tle of Shalimar to Mary Ellen Edwards. Cay 'lhwaite leaves her subtle humor to Mary Ellen, and beloved Aris- totle, the elephant, to Barbara l-lall. Sara McManus leaves the class minutes to Martha Enos, who will profit by following her example as far as secretarial duties are concerned. Sara leaves Pacific, the giraffe to lacquie King. Gay Thwaite and Mary Kathyrn lohnson leave Theodore, the broom, to the next occupants of Littlefield room l4. And so Miss lohnson says goodnight to her guests, ending a party un- equaled in gayety, wit, and fun-making. She leaves many fond memories with the seniors, as well as many new-found treasures with their successors.

THE WHITE Welcome, junior friends, to the White Elephant Party. To act as hostess we have called Miss Mary Kathyrn johnson, a composite of all the fine qualities of our senior class. ln case anyone is unfamiliar with such a party, let it be understood here. A White Elephant Party is one at which some person or per- sons bring gifts of some kind for the benefit of charity. ln this case, the seniors are the generous benefactors and the juniors are the beneficiaries. The first upper classman to be welcomed by our charming hostess is our serious-minded f?j class president, Marilyn Bailey. Marilyn has something under her arm, which on closer inspection is none other than the eminent Ferdi. Yep, Marilyn is going to sling a little bull right down Mary jane Strong's alley. There goes Ferdi in search of the flower Cof the junior class.D Marilyn leaves her funny little grin Cnot facel to a worthy junior, lucky Barbara Hall. Next in our passing parade Cwe listen to the radio tool comes Betty Brown astride Snuffie Smith, the best hoss in the country. Iayne Gerrish, who has openly admired Snuffie, now finds herself sole possessor of the beast. Betty, after saying an affectionate farewell to Snuffie, doffs her Shirley Temple curls to Lee Elder. Cuddles Wagner offers her nick-name to the junior class. CDon't all rush at once, girls? Bette Clark is the fortunate one- Cuddles Clark-cute! She agrees to leave her vocabulary to Lee Elder, who, We hope, will use it as effec- tively, if not as often as the generous donor. Pat Ryon refuses to give away her beautiful fingernails but has been in- duced to part with her toenailse-Peggie Gray, well, maybe she can use them. Martha Enos steps up to receive some of Pat's sophistication. No doubt Sy- monds Hall Will be able to use a little sophistication when Pat is gone next year. just to be sure things don't go to seed in Symonds next year, Kathryn Man- ley leaves to Ieanne Clark her startling laugh, or cackle as it might be called by some. Her executive ability she leaves to Lorraine O'Donnell. Bonnie will have to go some to match Kim in attainments along the executive line. Of course, a party wouldn't be a party without the charming personality of jeanne Ioyce, whose untiring efforts in journalism made everybody sit up and take notice. Ah, Florence Clausen, a versatile junior girl, is the lucky re- ceiver, leannie leaves her dark eyes and Latin American loyalty to Peggie Gray, another daughter of the southern continent.

c-- U rift Wi! f ,f v,5?f,yf it Q. ,yjw l EANNE CLARK, President MARTHA ENOS Secretary FLORENCE CLAUSEN Treasurer We, the juniors, sadly but gladly, do hereby tender our resignations from the eleventh grade, and put in our applications for the positions soon to be vacated by the present senior group. We say, sadly, because we have pro- fited so greatly from the past year as juniors. We worked and played, gave and received, erred and learned from our errors. We say, gladly, because We realize we have safely crossed another stepping stone toward cur goal,- to have strong characters and clean souls. We feel we are better fitted to take over the duties as seniors, and so We hereby sign our names, pledging our- selves to another year of greater accomplishments.
