Miss Finck Some of the boys in this school certainly make lovely girls, and vice versa - especially Richard l-letz and Marian Harrison. ln the German Club play given at the first of the year, Richard l-letz played the part of a slightly stout German woman. lt might have been rather insulting to the girls, because we think the seats on the stage had to be widened to hold the little lady. Marian acted as a newspaperman. lVly, did she look great in Papa's clothesl The laugh was that Luella Klassen had to play two parts, and they didn't give her enough time to dress in between acts. So when she was to come in she wasn't there, and they had to do the whole act over-which the audience appreciated because it took up a little more school time, There were a number of other actors, some of whom were: Vivian Bartel, Luella and Elmer Dahl, Aletha Spitzer, Amanda Johnson, lvlarlien Neufeld, l.eola Kirschenmann, and l-lenry Janzen, The second feature on this program was a laughab'e skit with Rosie Unruh and l-lenry Janzen as the characters, Henry made poor Rose cry, when in the process of writing a letter he contradicted her statement that busy was spelled b-u-Z-Z-y. ln fact he went so far as to get her so entangled that not even his C. S. F, partner could spell it other than b i-s-e y. But at least you can't fool these folks on German words. Most of them even know the name of their club. Page Twenty four

CJFFICE AND LIBRARY STAFF This year the Library statt was kept very, very busy. They had the responsibil- ity ot being in charge ot and running the entire library, This consists ot checking books in and out, tiling magazine copies, and keeping new magazines on the racks in the study hall, Another task is in direct connection with the English ottice. That is to keep all those magazines and books in monthly order, And by the looks ot the piles ot them in there maybe it would be just as nice to be something else as be on that statt. Once, upon noticing that someone had set a bookcase on the tloor, mak- ing a little more than a path to walk in from one end ot the room to the other, lvlr. Portertield looked about, scratched his head and asked, What happened in here? l can't stand the idea ot so much extra spacel and moved in another tab'e to pile books on, Dorothy Johnson is head student librarian. Outstanding work in cataloging and marking books was done by three treshman girls, Ruby Froese, Margaret Gaede, and Charlet l-lerman. ' Our library is growing at the rate ot about one hundred books a year. lvlany ot the additions this year were in attractive tiction, ln the principal's ottice is an assisting statt under Lena Shultz, lvlr, Janes' sec- retary, who directs them in ottice work. Their duties are to keep the office records, write and distribute detention cards, keep the books tor the student tunds, tile absence slips, distribute notices to all classes, and help in any way they might to aid the secretary, l ' T T if I I iw' jj f 'Ul Page Twenty three

EL CLUB ESPANOL Officers President .... .... R uth Kirschenmann Vice President , , . . lvlonna Latta Secretary and Treasurer . , Willie Steele Adviser .4... , Miss Sullivan Pieces of Eight and a Spanish treasure huntl It was a Spanish treasure hunt all right, but pieces of eight weren't the prize, lt was a box of marshmallows, and when the hunters got there, they found it had walked off, lt was later found in the bushes and rather empty. ln spite of no dessert, the hunters all got their fill on weiners and buns, The feature of the evening was probably the rush of twenty hilarious treasure hunters right through the room where play practice was going on. Of course they were searching for a clue, During two of the club's meetings lVlr, White and Mr, l.atta gave interesting talks on their vacations. Mr.. White has journeyed in Europe, principally Germany, and told the class about his experiences, the customs of the German people, and the geography of the country. Mr, l.atta made a month's trip down to Mexico. He gave the class a good idea of the history of the country, its conditions, and its people. Toward the end of the year the club gave a pot luck supper for the members. Spanish macaroni was the main dish, and did it disappearl You might have thought they had never seen macaroni before. All in all, the Spanish club, one of the outstanding clubs of the school, has had a most successful year. 1 Page Twenty five
