She says, “I’m going ahead with the theory.” Mrs. Ruth Pyle is teaching an N. Y. A. class each evening at Pierpoint School. Miss Lillian Bly is conducting a class in nutrition while Miss Eleanor Curry is enrolled in the nutrition and home nursing classes. Among the drivers in the motor corps will be found Miss Cornelia Ladwig. She is trained to change tires and patch inner tubes and must know how to take care of all parts of the automobile.

Senior Freaks Arouse Laughs; Outing Affords Sneak Day Fun May 6 and 12 are two of the long-to-be remembered days in the history of the class of ’42. The former is the day when they were not themselves, but freaks. On May 12 the seniors “sneaked” away from their classes and went to Maple Lake where they spent the day engaging in athletic feats and other activities. Those making arrangements for sneak day besides Mrs. Elma Robinson and the class president, Francis Newbrough were Patricia Coleman, location; Ted Kerns, transportation; and Wakem Simon, entertainment. Manuel Alvarez and Pauline Anderson worked out a method of informing the seniors the day before the events took place.
