Chester Brouwer was cir- culation manager, David Parrish was make-up editor, jack VVynn was assistant news editor, and Billy Slagle and Virginia Tuttle were reporters. It is rightly considered an honor for first year people to hold such important positions as circulation manager or make-up editor for the best high school paper in the United States. The stadium formed the background for the next scene. Mart Ellenwood was a member of the varsity football team, gained a letter in track, and was catcher for the baseball team. Crescent Hallenbeck was also a member of the varsity football squad his first year. Four other freshmen Went out for track, Odfut, McMillan, Inches, and lVeinraub. VVeaver and Smith went out for baseball. Indoors the class basketball teams claimed the interest of sixteen of the frosh: YVeinraub, Disler, Bragg, Kaiser, Knee, Simpson, Draggs, Shreve, Roush, Platt, Schmidt, Custance, Poe, Slagle, C. Brouwer, and L. Brouwer. The girls had several large track teams, two baseball teams, a hockey team, and a basketball team, the last-mentioned team was named champion among class teams. The five girls who made up this team are Marjorie Dixon, Charlotte Stanford, Bar- bara Beall, lVlildred Crum, and Henrietta Leedy. Une afternoon the entire company enjoyed itself by frolicking at Foster Park. The scene took on the appearance of carefree kindergarteners indulging in the time of their lives. The gay merry-makers skipped, jumped, picked wild flowers, played li Y - ,.-.- . -,,,,--, , Page 120

Because of the hard work done during this first year, the officials of the Hrm willingly compensated the following with honor roll awards: Margaret Wallace, Ellen Yaple, Oliver Eggers, Robert Null, Oren Simpson, Esther Howell, Genevieve Weick, Esther Fautt, Dorothy Garn, Velma Monroe, Harold Hastings, Robert Bart, Betty Bailey, Barbara Beall, Janet Browder, ,lean Meier, and Loretta Foellinger.

But one would hardly have fed such children sour green pickles and marshmallows and hot buns served with the concoction strictly for adults, hot dogs. And then, although they had ice cream cones for dessert, a keen observer would be forced to conclude that they were really rather grown-up students recalling their play days when they had been accustomed to go out for recess twice a day. ACT II As the curtain rose for the second act, we saw that the second year cast, now more experienced and dignified, had chosen a wonderfully good looking and popular group of students to supervise their activities during the sophomore year. None of the new officers had been elected the previous year, thereby proving that the class of ,3l loves variety. Billy Slagle, carefree man-about-town, was chosen president and Mart Ellenwood, distinguished athlete, was made his helper. Virginia Mollet, the blond with real natural curls, was elected secretary. Robert Eickmeyer, as a member of the social council, was assisted in his duties by two more of Theater South Side's blond beauties, Betty Basset and Virginia Swanson. From this we may make the startling assertion that gentlemen prefer blondes. The setting of scene two was again The Times room. Here everything was busy and hurried, buzzing with seeming confusion.
