5' 33'-'l N T ,Flflq Annual Staff By Miss Home ARLY in the Fall of 1919, a little seed was planted in the minds of the Yalley Junction High School pupils. This seed grew until in the Spring of lU2O it developed into one of these poptujlar trees called the Hr-Xna nual. Gazing at this apparition, l was surprised to find how life like and familiar looking it became. The trunk closely resembled Ted Sloane, stoically supporting the whole affair, while no one could mistake the three main branches, Mary, Albert, and Earl, who were doing their best to assist Ted in his laborious task. Naturally no tree is complete without several smaller branches covered with leaves and this Annual variety was no exception. W'hat I at first took to be the rustling leaves, l later discovered, was the scratching of pens. Up in the top, from whence all the surrounding country could be seen, was Louise gathering Alumni items. Two other of the higher branches were blowing first one way and then the other. These gradually look the appearance of lleatrice and lithel looking for athletic and society events. Yet another branch, blowing about and trying to attract attention, l thought must have something to do with the Sophomores, and forthwith appeared lfrank, Sophomore representative. Quite in contrast, two other branches were straight and sedate looking, not a thing about them stirring except the leaves, which I discovered to be the pens of lildra and -Iosephine Uwriting upu the Senior class arid literary events. An- other branch, which looked as if it didn't know whether to blow about like the Sophomores, or remain quiet and dignified looking as the Seniors, l immediately recognized as Raymond, junior representative. Clear down at the base of this tree were two little shoots, trying their best to look as large and important as any other part of this Annual, Standing straight and firm for Freshman rights, were Mildred Gray and Margaret Quirk. There yet remained three rather important looking branches reaching out in different directions. These seemed to have nothing in particular to do, yet blew about as if they were seeing whether the tree were put together in the right manner, and were ready to correct any fault or give advice. VVho should appear here but Hr. Miller, Mrs. Aker, and Mr. Ryan? Now l am sure from the way this Annual tree is growing, it will bloom and be a credit to the High School, although the frost has threatened it several times. lwtlffl' flzirifcu l .
