JUNIDIQ HIGHLIGHTI PENING the book of school activities we find many inter- esting characters in the Junior High. Our Junior High has a I great many unusual personalities about whom we know very ittle. In looking over this semesterls records we find that George Wood is Junior high commissioner. He holds all the Junior High activities and plans for assemblies with the help of his advisory board. Did you know, for instance, that Nina Glinchikoff of High Nine is a Russian girl who is studying the Russian language outside of school? 'VVe also havethe makings of several globe trottersl' in our Junior High. Elizabeth Lengbord, high nine, has lived and travelled in India, Japan, and the Islands. ltlargit Holst, low nine, has been to Europe several times and visited in Berlin only last year, and speaks German. The lower classmen do not lack talent. Bar- bara Pfeif fer, high nine, and Kathleen lNIoran, high eight, have both done professional dancing and have displayed their ability in school performances. Betty Tuttle, high eight, and Lola Tette, high nine, also deserve to be mentioned for their excellent ability as dancers. Helen Dickson, high nine, and Cecil Alloo, low seven, represent our Junior High violinistsg while Antonio DeGrassi has shown excep- tional talent as a pianist. Two outstanding leaders in Junior High clubs are Fern Reed,.president of Junior G.A.A., who has carried out a very successful sport season for Junior High girls, and Pay- son VVoolsey, president of the Chemistry Crafts Club, who, although he is only in the seventh grade, organized and led this club a. few weeks after he had entered the school. Other Junior High club leaders are George Prouty, president of the Camera Club, and Betty Conlisk, president of the Junior Girls, Glee. In looking over the athletic records of Junior High boys, ltlr. Hindman thinks that the following have shown exceptional ability during this term: Low Seventh, Fred Stagnera, Bill Heyland, Geo1'ge Drull, Joe Fustado, and Gilbert VVrightg Low Eight, Jim Barcelon, Jim Jenkins, Stanley McGuire, Ledru Frank, Bill VVil- son, High Seventh, Sam Castoris, Francis Dam, Robert lXIcKebben, lllervin Goodall, Richard lNIarsh, Robert lXIcGowang High Eight, Don Young, Don Budge, David Crosse, Lester Adcock, Jim Glad- den, Gordon Apdaile, Jack Jarman, and Edwin Tripp. It will be interesting to see if these Junior High leaders will still be leaders of the school in the future.

HE CUB staff has attempted something new and different this term in publishing a semi-annual in place of the quarterly or annual. The staff was chosen from a group of English VIII students, interested in publication work, who met at the begin- ning of the term. From. this group Elizabeth Schuster was elected editor-in-chief and the following people, associate editors: Jane Rea, seniorg James Koford, literary, Susan Powell, cub tracks, lXIaX Cramer, sportsg Jean Jensen, alumni, Yvonne I-Iostetter, junior highg Mason Whitney, jokes, and lVIary Johnson, art. Bill Blac- Gregor was elected business manager and appointed as his assistant Leola Dixon. In order to keep the work divided among the four English VIII classes, an associate editor was elected from each class. These were lNIargaret Robinson, Betty lXIcLauchla,n, lNIary Brad- bury, and T rinone Rule. Under the guidance of lXIiss Beatrice Burnett, faculty adviser of the magazine, the written material for the various sections was contributed by the English VIII classes and edited by the editors. The material was set up by the printing students under the direction of lNfIr. Fred J. lXIartin. The art work was created by drawing stu- dents of lNrIiss hIabel VVhitmore.
