Junior News The class got off for a good start this year with the following class officers: President, Ray de la Feuilliez, Vice- President, Russell Swift, Secretary, Stenish Slonina, Treasurer, Glennis Richards. To help the school in their drive to pay off the school debts, we held a good sale Sept. 21, 1935, and a class dance Nov. 15, 1935, both of which were fairly successful. Three members represent the class on the Student Council, R. de la Peuilliez, S. Slonina, M. Collins. The Council is something new in school efficiency, and we hope it may come to function suc- cessfully. D. Dow and M. Collins performed for the class in the Freshman Amateur Program, which livened up several af- ternoon assemblies. Juniors who have had write-ups in the Rambler are: M. Bisson, M. Collins, those representing the class in the Win- throp Winner are: R. de la Feuilliez, M. Collins, C. Dow. Several talented Juniors have shown their dramatic abilities over the radio in plays, H. Gilman, M. Bisson, C. Dow, M. Fleury, R. de la Feuilliez, H. Faulkinham, E. Lewier, T. Dostie. Some day we may be proud to say: I knew them when . . . M. Fleury, I. Dostie, and C. Dow boosted class spirit in the school play, Here Comes Patricia. R. de la Feuilliez and C. Dow deserve a pat on the back for their business management and big-heartedness in running the cafeteria. They have won the fidelity of n' any hungry students on rainy days and otherwise. Here's hop- ing trade was good enough for a con- tinuation next year. Ambitious Juniors have their eyes set on that prize to be awarded in Junior Prize Speaking. Believe it or not the class is more or less composed of Patrick Henrys. Some of the orators who will compete at a later date are: H. Gilman, R. Fountain, C. Dow, E. Lewis, D. Dow, H. Faulkinham, and C. Turner. To judge by all the above activities you've got to hand it to the Juniors. In addition to these accomplishments, they have a very applicable slogan: We are the worst, the best, the handsomest, and the homeliest class in school. We are very good. very naughty, and we have a high scholastic standing except when it is low. In other Words, the Juniors believe in being temperamental.

They also find that the things they learn in Manual Training are advantageous to them in many dif- ferent ways.
