How long we have looked forward to this year when we will have a chance to show what we, can really do. One hundred and eighty--three of us should be able to break all records, especially with quality to back up our numbers. ' , 20-Working night and day on our play, we hear that the Resident Theatre is also putting on The Late Christopher Bean , so we decide to go over to see if we can get a few pointers. 2-3-Our junior play! The publicity committee has done some good work and we break all previous records in having crowds both nights. A huge success, including the midnight celebration afterwards. 21-We show our originality in introducing the self-liquidating party! No assessments, everybody comes, clance, bingo, decorations, program 'neverything-all financed by the sale of pop and candy. We've sent for a copyright on the idea! 20-We set the date for the Carnival and have the first committee meeting. 4-5-National Forensic tournament at William jewell. Most of our honors are won by juniors. 10-Famous Model T parade! It takes most of the day to haul them in, but what's a day ot school. Vlfe must fulfill our obligations as advertisers! ll-The real parade makes a big hit. Led by the faithful sound car, we tour the countryside with color- ful information that If you stay home, ou'll be Ionel tomorrow night. U V y y 'cause everybody's coming to the junior Carnival i2-Surely nobody is lonely, for all of them are here at the junior Carnival having a grand tin A d , i e. n from the gate receipts it seems certain the seniors will not go away from the baiiquet hungry. 7-Night of nights--the junior-Senior banquet! lt's been a lot of work, but it's well worth it to have a really successful party that everyone will remember as the climax of junior activities. 20-School is out. Hooray! Yet we're just a little glad we're not seniors, for I k ' we oo forward to seeing everyone again next fall. l-lere's hoping we all have a swell vacation. 22

Such memories as that name recalls, for those who and worked for weeks that everything should be ready to go Saturday, March l2th. Stickers around on all Windshields, winclows, doors, even plastered on the backs of leather jackets --Dick 'Buck working day and night on posters and signs -- committee meetingsnbright ideas flying around concerning a new stunt or a new idea. in advertising -- the sound car on its daily rounds -- Bill and Kenneth being interviewed by -the Star as executives in a really big production business -- the wild assembly with Bush as a Napoleon who almost forgets to direct his battles -- jackie, the old lady with a pill for every ill -- then the big parade, the biggest ever held, and with no casualty except a few balloons -- Saturday morning the suspense over the Queen contest -- money raining in and votes rolling up till Liz's total sends her into another fit of ecstacy -- tables, screens, thumb-tacks, ropes, sponges, bed-springs moving myteriously about the halls and Charley McCarthy making his familiar promise that we'll mow'em down! Then the zero hour -- people ganging in asking What time is the first Follies? or When do the fights start? Are you having a dance? Can you eat on these tickets? -- A few ticket-takers missing -- mad rush to find substitutes -- the Country Store calls its wares -- Bingo is in full swing --- Have your photo taken? --4 Messenger boys rush up and down paging people with important telegrams -- balloons, hats, whistles, squeak mice -- hot-dogs, pop-corn, ice-cream bars, candy -- the first Follies -- did anyone ever see such a pair as Mary Cochrane and Marjorie Harris in the Big Apple ? And poor Bray who must choose from among Ten Pretty Girls? Screams and laughter issue from the Foo House and children emerging from the Ghost Walk insist that their parents try it . Ether fumeslfrom the Hospital serve as a reminder that successful and unsuccessful operations rare being performed -- the loud-speakers in the halls report socks on the jaw, black eyes, a left, a right, he's down -- Poor Brophy! ah, the bell saves him! --.the crowd pours out into the hall and scatters out to attend other shows till time for the battle royal -- some learn what would happen If Men Pla ed Brid L'k W A y ge i e omen Do -- others try games of skill in the hope of winning a toy dog or a Mae West doll. Finally comes the last Follies, to be followed by the Queen ceremony -- the balcony must be opened to accommodate the-crowd -- all goes well till time for the coronation -- Oh, Mary Lou, where is the crown? Bill feels he would give his kingdom for one -- at last the flowers off the fence are pressed into service and th h O , TH , I e s ow goes n. - !eA crowd cheers and begins to file out, regretting that another junior Carnival is over, but dl ' prou y taking stock of the accumulated stock of whistles, hats, horns, dolls -- reminders of a jolly good time! lit is rumored that the l3!'i0'fQ8 BDl'1 gallery continued to do business till the wee small hours -- Clair afld 5'fai'1!GY Played the role of the entombed slavers -- and it is even Said that some faculty members were among the patrons! Could it be?l Z4
