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

Excerpts from a Sophomore's Diary SEPT. 7-Have you ever heard of any person descendinging to a higher position? Well, that is what the sophomores did on this day. They came down from their freshman balcony to sit in the main auditorium as a part of the senior high. - , SEPT. 20-Our first and only all-class meeting was held to elect the annual leaders of group -- our class officers. OCT. 29-Entire sophomore class had a masquerade party given in the gym. Prizes were given, but several could not stand the torture of their deception and ,unm askedbefore the prizes were awarded. Elsie Atkins was so thoroughly masked no one could identify her. Mr. Linn did such a good job 4 of it that neither Mr. Mc- Glothlin nor Miss Robinson could find him to aid in the judging, though they knew he had promised to come. Betty lo Talbot and Pauline Hartmann won the prizes. Miss Sparks and Mr. Perkins were afraid of goblins so stayed at home. OCT.-Home Room II is feeling on top of the world because it won the volleyball championship. NOV. 23-Sophomore girls entertain the Girl Reserves with Turkey Red . NOV. 24 -Hurrah! Thanksgiving is here! We'II have 'four days in' which to eat so much turkey we'II be ill. DEC.-IAN,-Pass with little of importance ,except Santy's visits and those dreaded report cards. I FEB.-Again Home Room II steps out in front with the championship in boys? basketball. They are also made proud of their activity ticket sale. Twenty-eight sold and twenty-six completed from an enrollment of 31. MARCH I8-Mr. Linn's home room goes on a skating party at, the EI Torreon. He's kind .enough to invite the whole sophomore class to go along-off in the bus we go and everyone has a grand time. MARCH 25-Miss Robinson's home room has been itching for a swimming party ever since' Christmas. Again the whole class is invited, and all seem to think it a marvelous idea. But what happens to the enthusi- asm? Only five go -- however, the water's fine and there's plenty of it. MARCH-Home Room I3 has been using its time quite profitably in hearing How to Win Friends and Influence People. N APRIL I-2-What would the all-school music festival do without. us? Though we know we are far from all of it, we are well represented. APRIL Il--Mr. Linn's group had such fun in March, they decide to repeat the evening. Another weary even- ing for the floor of the EI Torreon but a swell time for the sophomores, APRIL I5-Our class gets a chance to show its stuff at the Sophomore Assembly. We hope it's not too much of a riot. MAY 7-Some of the sophomore girls get to serve at the junior-Senior dinner dance and see the fun. Next year we'Il be in on it. MAY 20-Here's another year that's gone, and it won't be long before we find ourselves back at good old N.K.C. as juniors and at least second in importance. 25 veg is .3
