THE MODULUS Coin Collectors WITH the beginning of another school year the Junior class is again ready to start the struggle for existence. They always have to work with zest in order to get money to make the Jun- ior-Senior Reception a success. This particular class has entered into the money-making pro- position with an enthusiasm that is particularly admirable, especially by the Seniors. Because of Junior Officers: Meier, Heiney, Watson. Hannon, Hefner Social Committee: Jean Adams, chairman; Wanda Smith, June Deeter, Harold Landfert. Ring and Pin Committee : Henry Weber, chairman ; Harold Kasper, and Pauline Cunning- ham. Concessions Committee : Dorothy Hannon, chairman; Pauline Heiney, James Meier, and Jack Hefner. The social commit- tee was a credit to the class in this first term of school. They devised a very clever plan for the en- tertainment of the Juniors at a party call- ed the Hallowe ' en Ca- baret. A long pro- gram, including sing- ing and dancing, was enjoyed, and this was followed by refresh- ments served at tables set for four. Alto- the ambition to honor this upper class, their in- spiring efforts are recognized by everyone that confronts them. They have numerous ways of collecting cash. Selling dainty Christmas cards by boxes and selling candy at both the basketball and the football games are among their sources of coin collection. It seems to be a hobby of Junior classes to sponsor shows, and this year they picked Jack Oakie in the Social Lion. The money the Jun- ior organization received from the sponsoring of this show was a fairly good amount and gave them a good beginning in their quest for funds. The officers were elected during the second week of school. Those elected were: Jack Hef- ner, President; Pauline Heiney, Vice President; Dorothy Hannon, Treasurer; and James Meier. Secretary. Miss Virginia Watson was elected by the class as their advisor. It would seem as unlikely to have a class without committees as to have auditorium with- out announcements. The committees selected are: Kether it was considered a huge success. Distinguishment in some field is expected from every member of this prominent circle. Maybe the ideal of every Junior is to some day be a dignified Senior and associate them- selves with Senior ways and Senior knowledge. Now it is not a case of the Juniors wishing to be- come Seniors too quickly, but in reality the Sen- iors always seem to possess a degree of sophis- tication that every Junior envies, regardless of class or distinction. The Juniors are lording it over the Sophomores and Freshmen just the same, and this is just a piece of advice from the wise, Do look out for fear of slipping and breaking those perfectly good arms and legs. Take it from someone who knows. They followed the custom established by their predecessors and also ordered their rings and pins this year. But they, however, had the) distinction of having ordered their pin number guards while they were Sophomores. Page Eight December, 1930

THE MODULUS Grown-Up Freshmen Senior Officers: Guest. Dick. Alwood, Kindler. Bernnger ■ ITH an intent desire in their noble little tV hearts to set the world on fire this last year f theirs in High School, before they are thrown pon the cruel hardships of the world, the noble nd praiseworthy Class of ' 31 assembled on Tues- ay, September 16, for the purpose of selecting lose most honor- i and select few ito whose hands ley would place le custody of leir ship of tate. T h o D e ■hom they final- ' deemed worthy f the honor were jhn Berringer 3 P r e s i d e n t, red Dick as ice President ' reeman Guest 3 Secretary, Colette Kindler as Treasurer, and [iss Alwood as a tried and tested Sponsor- In order to further this far and spectac- !ar goal of theirs, John and Miss Alwood found necessary to divide this ambitious group of leirs into some committees. The result of their Torts is as follows : Dramatic Committee : Dea Michaels, chair- lan; Helen Sparks, Paul Cozad, Donald Snider, ad Arthur Solloway. Finance Committee : Fred Dick, chairman ; ssa Hamilton, Georgiana Redrup, and Jack Nye. Color and Flower Committee : Consuella iisenhauer, chairman ; Rose Blockson, and Mary lumb. Motto Committee : Miriam Dumbauld, chair- ian; Maxine Ade, and Helen Jane Cook. Social Committee : Wilda Mae Lucas, chair- lan ; Louis Lichtsinn, Miriam Kiracofe, Free- lan Guest, and Helen Weber. Invitation Committee: Mary Ellen Willis, lairman ; Bernice Hippensteel, and Max Rudicel. Of course to be in style with all other good enior classes they selected some colors, and they appen to be orchid and gold to harmonize with ne flowers of sunburnt roses and sweet peas. Lnd the motto that will haunt them the rest of their days is: Life is not iust to live, but to live well. Also in order to have an especially good time they treated themselves to a real for sure Hal- lowe ' en party! And what a party! Pumpkins and everything!! The customary colors of orange and black pre- V a i le d i n t b e gym! Ghost walk ! ! Eats!! Games ! ! Every- thing! But please do not think, gen- tle reader, that the efforts of this class are dedicat- ed only for their own enjoyment ! For this is not the case ! Far from it! And so just to show their loyalty to iheir school they presented a three-by-eighteen foot red and black felt banner bearing the cheer- ing words, Yea Vikings, Fight, and the small numbers, 31. Anyone w ' ho would chance to look over the many activities of Alma Mater would find the names of those same distinguished Seniors there. They are in football, basketball, baseball, and de- bate, and still others distinguish themselves in the Hi-Y and Sunshine. And of course they also claim some of the most successful numbers on the Bars and Stripes Revue to their credit. But it has been said that all good things must come to an end and so must the reign of this class come to a close after commencement. (At least we hope they ' ll make the grade. ) So far we are proud to say they are doing fine. Maybe we ' ve made you feel that this Senior class is a bunch of little angels. Much as we would love to leave such a pleasing impression, duty and conscience begs us add that there are a few little devils among them. And if you don ' t believe it just ask any of the faculty or anyone who attended that famous Senior Hallowe ' en party ! ! ecember, 19S0 Page Seven

THE MODULUS The Other Half ALTHOUGH the Sophomores and Freshmen have not risen to a high degree of promi- nence as yet, there is plenty of time for them to move forward. They have ambitions hke all children (Pardon!) Their ideals are surprisingly high. Some of them wish to be Lindberghs, build- ers of Woolworth buildings, and to pos- sess wealth as great as that of Henry Ford. Now, with such ideals as these, we can ex- pect to find their names in headlines — some twenty-five years from now! (We ' ll all watch for it!! !) In the election of officers the Sopho- mores have Russell Hubartt, President ; Donald Freehafer, Vice-President ; Char- lotte Lowey, Secre- tary; and June Rarick, Treasurer. The Fresh- men have as their officers : Richard Krieg, Presi- dent; Mary Snyder, Secretary; and Helen Cull, Treasurer. Socially, their advisors, Miss Alice Kline and Miss Beatrice Brown, foretell big times ahead. A Christmas party is on the schedule for the Sophomores, with picturesque decorations of holly wreaths and berries. The Freshmen had a Hallowe ' en party, and their decorations w-ere in keeping with the Hal- lowe ' en season. Numerous black cats and witches served as clever decorations for these babies of the school. In choosing the committees, Russell Hubartt, President of the Sophomores, was assisted by Miss Alice Kline, Sponsor of the organization. The groups are as follows : Social Committee: Carl Bailey, Mary Kith- cart, and Allen Meier. Decoration Committee : Max Steele, Esther Strickland, and Darwin Forst. Refreshment Committee : Joe Moore, John McClure, Eudora Stephan, and Dorothy Steele. Although the Freshmen seem young to the upper classmen, they have taken unusual pains in not letting known their ignorance of the ways of High School. The upper classmen realize this, and real ' y admire them for it. The Sophomores have a sophistication that is beyond their years. They don ' t hesitate to show Sophmore Officers: Hubartt, Lowey. Kline. Ranck. Freehafer. their superiority towards the Freshmen, and walk around the halls with their heads up and eyes straight ahead, looking neither to the right nor to the left. These sophisticated Sophs, however, have gone out for sports, and are hoping to have a football team and a basketball team that will make us all sit up and take notice. In summing up the activities of the Sopho- mores and Freshmen, we can see that they are far from Rip Van Winkles, and we have to hand it to them! Freshman Officers: Krieg, Brown, Cull, Goodin.
