Senior Class Notes September—The newly-made Seniors went about looking stiff and puffed up. They were struggling to live up to their dignified title. Sometime in November—The Seniors received their class rings and pins, and kept elevating their fingers an inch in the air as they said. “Did you see pa’s cow?” February—The Senior girls wore their hair baby fashion one day and one day was nuff. Of all the braids! Lean and lanky, short and fat, scrawny, brown, yellow, black and red. But it was really a refreshing sight to see all the dignified ladies’ hair so childishly arranged. March—Seniors had a pie sale to raise money for the music fund. A wonderful display of pies was presented and all were eagerly bought by lower classmen. Mr. Teall rebuked the Seniors one day for disorderly conduct. Olive got up, apologized profusely, and then added, “But you know, Mr. Tall, the good Lord gave me a tongue, and I just got to exercise it a bit.” April—Senior indicted! Gerald Mosteller was accused of smoking cigar- ettes on High School premises the night of the Senior-Junior party. Judge Darpinian tried the case. Attorneys for the school were James Dickey and Thomas Cosgrave. Defendant’s attorneys were Olive Crowder and Lois Waag, who testified that defendant’s mind was unbalanced. Drs. Florence Rea and Clyde Cavin, examining physicians at the state asylum, testified that Gerald was hopelessly insane. Evelyn testified that she had danced every dance with Gerald at the party and that he had not smoked that evening. Sabra testified that she had sat out one dance with Gerald (he being too poor a dancer for her to waste her time upon) and that he had had the audacity to offer her a cigarette. Upon her indignant refusal he had smoked it himself. The jury returned a verdict of “not guilty.” May—Try-out for class play. No one seemed to know that the Seniors possessed such dramatic ability as they manifested in their try-out. Elmer looked so subservient and deferential as he announced to Miss Oerter that guests were awaiting her pleasure. Tommy enacted a little love scene. Fear- ing that he would become too excited if he permitted his eyes to rest upon his sweetheart who was in the audience, he looked upwards and made love most touchingly to a fly perched high upon the wall. Owing to the class’s remark- able dramatic ability, Miss Oerter said she lost nearly all her beauty sleep one night, trying to figure out who were the best actors. 1]
