Name-It-We've-Got-It-Grocery! All of a s u d d e n there seems to be a great inter- ference in our contraption. We can see something moving up and down and all we can hear is Hone-two,one-two,one- two.H N o w it seems to be clearing. Oh, yes, we can see plainly that it is Donna Johnson giving reducing ex- ercises. The screen now reveals a scene of domestic tranquility We see Patty Carle enjoying a happy married life. All of a sudden the tranquility is broken and we see Patty Hgiv- ing itn to her young son for putting beans By turning again, we see dress shop on New York. It in his ears. the s w i t c h on our screen a Fifth Avenue in is owned and op erated by Patty Druhe. And her m o s t popular model is Gloria Bohlmann. The next scene to come on the s c r e e n is one in the halls of learning of the Uni- versity of Nebraska. In a small room of the Administra- t i o n Building,we see June Woerner as Dean of Women. While in a larger reception room is Betty Bailey, as sec- retary to the Chancellor. Now our scene changes to a front porch and we see Dick Simonson relaxing in a big rocking chair. We find that he is enjoying one of his vacation periods. You s e e, he is a professional Santa Claus. In our next scene we see a plane flying over the At- lantic Ocean. We recognize the pilot to be Sally Stover, and her passenger is Urdeen Meyer, n o w a professional linguist. Our screen next reveals beautiful Hawaii, where we see Luther Lambrecht riding his stately steed on an in- spection tour of his pine- apple plantation. That oc- cupation probably resulted from his taking fruit courses in school. Having looked in on the Class of 1947, we find an un- controllable urge to see what the faculty of that year is doing. We find them at their usual occupation: Just sitting in a schoolroom, In a great big easy chair, And keeping things amovin' With a lordly sort of air. Not a thing to do but asking Lots of questions from a book, 'Spectin' kids to know the answers, Though they're not allowed to look. CBorrowedJ M .al .4g.

CTL for It is the year 1957. The class of l9M7 of West Point High School is holding its tenth annual reunion. The committee on entertainment in o r d e r to surpass all former committees and to fur- nish a really superior brand of comedy, has installed a modern Electro-Television sen This is the brain child of the noted scientist and in- ventor, who is called the se- cond Madam Curie, but whose real name is Beverly McPher- son. She has assured us that we can tune this gadget in such a manner that we will be able to see for a moment each m e m b e r of the graduating class of 1947. We carefully follow the directions furnished us by our scientific friend, whose inventions have been financed by the rich jeweler she mar- ried, and turn the necessary switches to set the machine in operation. After a mini- mum amount of buzzing a n d flashing, the first person to appear upon the screen is Louise Clausen. She is sit- ting behind a large desk on w h i c h appears the title HLibrarian.H While s h e is hard at work, a school girl enters this large Chicago li- brary and we hear her ask for Neva White's latest collec- tion of poems. Louise in- forms her that they have been unable to supply the great de- mand f o r that volume, but that additional copies are ex pected next week. T0 CC We turn the little knob a n d our scene switches to Hollywood where we see Joan Stewart rehearsing for the leading role in HSour Milk Skies.H Joan seems to be as- sisted by Joyce Bartak, who designed the costumes and the scenery for the production. We just caught a glimpse of the director, it is n o n e other than Jim Motl. Now our scene changes to far off Italy where we see Lester Pagels as an accordion grinder. He is grinding for a l l he is worth! And, of course, he has a monkey pas- s i n g the cup. No ---- Wait! It's not a monkeyg it's Ellis Rall. now shifts to Our scene Washington, D. C. I n t h e White House, the President has had a very important con- ference concerning the fu- ture of the entire world. The meeting has just adjourned and the men are leaving. One of them we recognize as Duane Benne, who is Secretary of Agriculture. We a 1 s o see Robert Peters, the present Secretary of the Navy. Now we see a tired figure emerg- ing from the President's of- fice. He looks care-worn and seems to be heavily burdened. Yes, it is David Wortman car- rying o u t the waste paper baskets. In the next scene we find Barbara Camin at her desk as President of the UCamin-You- ....15...

OFFICERS FIRST SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER President Bill Strube Ray Stover Vice-President Warren Jones Dale Benne Secretary-Treasurer Alice Wilde Elizabeth Moodie This year was one of great significance to the Juniors. No longer underclassmen, the class o f '48 established a record for themselves. Know- ing that next year they would be seniors, they were deter- mined t o distinguish them- selves this year. Being the largest class in the school, they were widely represented in all school activities. Beginning in the fall,they had their class picnic at the Clay Pit. During the foot- ball and basketball seasons, they held an important place in the school as many members of both teams were Juniors. Fifteen of them lettered in football and seven in both football and basketball. Hu- bert Firnhaber was one of the cheerleaders for that season Into every Junior's life fall two important events-- the play and the banquet. On December 5, a group of stage- frightened Juniors success- fully presented UShadows In the Night.U The other high- light of the year was ful- filled when t h e following spring they gave the annual Junior-Senior Banquet--one of the most enjoyable banquets ever given by a Junior Class. Only two Juniors, Ray Sto- ver and Elizabeth Moodie, en- tered the declamatory contest. T h r e e students from this class were chosen to be mem- bers of the National Honor Society. On the evening of March 14 the Juniors had a good time at a party in the Junior-High assembly with their sponsors, Miss Lallman and Miss Ickman. Hoping t h a t next year would bring as much success as the past had brought, the Juniors awaited the autumn, when they at last would en- ter the halls of WPHS as the mighty seniors, the Class of l9M8l l41.
