Say, have will soon leave for Siberia. Last week when I was visiting Green Bay I had such a great surprise. On visiting the Ringling Bros. Cir- cus, whom should I see but Flora Polasik per- forming with the elephants. Helen Mushyn- ski and Emma Miller were also members of this circusp They were traveling with the side show as the Short and Tall Co. and Florence Schmidt and Clarence Tappen were lion tamers. You should see those lions perform under their leadership. Have you seen that new barber shop in Menominee owned by Leonard Marquardt? VVilhelm Anderson, Emil johnson and Henry Jensen are his as- sistants. Above this shop is a beauty parlor which Mabel Nyberg and Lillian Nelson own. Their specialty is giving shampoos with the wonderful shampoo discovered by Hannah Monson. I read in this morning's paper that Marcella Erdlitz has purchased a large cherry orchard in Sturgeon Bay, and will convert it into a girls' summer camp. Besides teaching GREENNESS What is so green as a day in june, when it is so warm that you forget all your knowledge and grow greener than the day? Oh, yes, it is very much the same as Shakespeare said, Some are born green, some achieve green- ness and some have greenness thrust upon them. How noble was Shakespeare to think of such Logic! But why should we lose sleep worrying over our greenness? It may turn to brown, take for an example, a dandelion, what could be greener when it first shoots from the ground than this little plant? Now don't hur- ry. .Iust give it time and see what a brilliant, beautiful, glowing, golden mass overtops the greenness. Isn't it wonderful, glorious, mag- nificent? just as were the dandelions so were these worthy Seniors. They began as green F reshies, remained green as Sophsg and start- ed budding as jolly Juniors for the time when they should be brilliant, glowing, blossoming Seniors. Now that's all right, and another point to add to the value of greenness: green is very pleasing and restful color for the eyes, so doesn't it pay to be green? Also the color is very becoming to people-especially the blondesg it makes them resemble a dandelion. But when some are very green already and then add some more green to it, why, You you heard about Ed Boucher? Well, he's sell- ing all-week suckers for the Vockrodt Candy Co. in Milwaukee. Oh, it's so interesting to talk about our old class. Doesn't it take you back to those glorious schooldays? Ruth Forsberg, Friedeberg Quist and Louise Olsen have a thriving bakery shop, haven't they? And that Magic Reducer, discovered by Margaret Nielson, is a blessing to stout peo- ple. She and Margaret Erdlitz deal in this remedy and, besides helping others, they are accumulating an immense fortune. Their cen- tral plant is in Chicago, but there are small branches throughout the United States and Canada. Oh, look, girls, look! There is Bob Kreuz passing in his Hivver. I heard he had a brilliant college education, but I guess he couldn't keep away from the old t1'ade. Oh, dear, here is your parcel and change, girls, and another customer is coming this way. I suppose this ends our chat. Well, goodbye, call again. JOSEPHINE TASQUIN. '22. rub the sore when you should bring the plas- ter. But we may only be green in our earlier life so Let us not burden our remembranices W-ith the greenness that is gone. LILLIAN WORN ER, ,22. GENERAL INFORMATION TESTS For the last two years the appearance of a General Information Test has been an' annual affair. It has often been the only occasion where some of our very intelligent pupils have had the opportunity to bring out their knowledge. It has also, many times, added to oneis knowl- edge of a certain person or thing. For in- stance, I learned that the Golden Gate was a building instead of the Gateway to San Fran- cisco. Or that Sing Sing was a Chinese laun- dry. The answers of some of these intelligent pupils have been used in the comic column of our school paper. Would we were teachers, who, while cor- recting the papers, may laugh to their heart's content at our intelligent remarks. But we must take the part of the pupil, who, on re- 'eeiving his paper, keeps its contents a secret lest someone secure valuable information from it. FLORA POLASIK, ,22.

CLASS PROPHECY Yes, a great change has taken place dur- ing the last ten years,', continued Rose Torz- nik, clerk of the Goldberg and Read Clothing Shop, to two of her old classmates, Jane La Vallee and Lucy Kramer, now dress designers in that shop next to the Jorgen- son Drug Co. in Marinette No, letls see. You know, don't you, that Lyle Fehren- bach is now seeking gold in Alaska? I thought you did. No, I have none of that green silk left. You're making Alice Kehoe's trousseau, you say? Thatls news! Did you know that Ralph Gram has just made a fortune by publishing a new dictionary? It's even more complete than M'ebster,s. By the way, I just met Merle Ku-- der. He is exceedingly anxious to get back to his government work at Ellis Island. James Pelnar and Marion VVilcox are both gaining fame as compos- ers in New York. Did you hear that Lillian Lohf had been elected mayoress of Hermans- ville? She had been teaching there, you know. That silk? It's 35.00 per yard. A very fine grade, coming from the Shultz and Delgoffe Company, who order their silk directly from China. Bernice Del- goffe, the head saleswoman, has taken several trips to China already, in the interests of the company, and for the purpose of studying the raising of silk worms. On her way last time, she paid our old classmate, Francis St. Peter, a visit. He is assistant governor of the Phil- ippine Islands. Oh, yes. I know that Omer Tanguay is county supervisor of schools, and Fred Flom and Agnes Burns are doing sci- entific farming, aren't they? Bernice Cain, Helen F ransee, and Viola Kell are Working in the Kirt Clothespin Factory, Wilma Johnson is Mr. Kirt's private secretary, and Lester Chaltry is his lawyer and advisor. Here is some cheaper silk if you'd like it, but it won't last half as long as that other, Do you know anything about Frank Kreuz? What? An editor? Where? Well, I'm surprised! Think of Frank Kreuz as being editor of the 'fRe- view of Reviews. I must get a copy and read one of his editorials. Margaret Cream- er, Kathryn English, Margaret Reiter, and Velma Converse are also members of that staff. How strange! I never dreamed of Walter Melander as a missionary in China or that Janet Ahearn would be an old maid. I just passed her as she was giving her cat an airing. Jean Worth is gaining fame as a movie star. They say he's greater than Char- lie Chaplin, and his salary is double Charlie's. Marguerite O'Hoff, Anna Ritz and Ruth Mattson are toe-dancers in Paris. Roselynn Caley and Herbert Quist have gone into avia- tion, and now they're both per- forming tricks in their planes for the Pathe News. I received a letter from Marlea O'Connor this morning. Sheis a hair dresser in Chicago. She says that John Weaver is living on a cattle ranch out west. Have you heard of the new bill intro- duced at Lansing by Senator C. VVoessner, which would stop the selling of 'fsmokesu in Michigan? Governor Louis Heinrichs highly recommends the bill, and State Representa- tives, Melville King, Alfred Sporrer and Carlyle Putrow, are also greatly in favor of it. Carl Kollross and John Han- son, however, are making a gallant effort to defeat it. XYe have two new Shakespearian actors, haven't we? Members of our class, too. Florence No- durft and Harry Janson are in Hamlet Roland Larson is in the cigar-making business at Nadeau. Someone told me that he was al- most bankrupt, when Margaret Spencer loan- ed him a large sum that she had saved from lecturing. Now they are in partnership, man- ufacturing Eskimo Pies that are known throughout the world. I chanced into the Pelletier Manicure Shop last night, and Mar- guerite told me that the Bink girls were clerks in Pearl Baldwin's restaurant. Have you been to court yet this Week? Patrolman Ernest Kahn is suing Florence Beguin for damages because she wrecked his aeroplane. Judge, Lombard arrived in town last week and among the jurors are Emily Doubek, Clara Charnet- ski, Ruth Peterson, and Myrtle Walander, who own and operate a cheese factory in a small country town. Bertha Sengpiel is a nurse in the Hospital of Mercyi' in Pesh- tigo. It was founded by Viola Herlache, who is now directress. She has Catherine Ockstadt and Lillian Worner for assistants. Clemence Volk and Josephine Tasquin are teachers of Household Arts in a southern school for ne- gro girls, of which Paul Silvernale is the superintendent and founder. Hazel Janson and Ruth Kleinke are gym teachers in the same school. Here is some chiffon you might like. You can look at it while we talk. I wish I were Ruth Nelson or Emma Martin- sen. They're living a life of leisure because

HOME ROOM OFFICERS E gn ,L HOME ROOM ORGANIZATIONS The plan of having home rooms organized has been under way for two years and has proved a real success. However, there is still much room for improvement. To make improvements the individual must look at the plan as one from which he can de- rive much benefit, and not as a joke. He must help to co-operate in all things, and to co-operate he must obey the constitution of his home room and do as the home room teacher and officers direct. ' In a very great measure the hoine room officers, especially the presirlent, are responsible for the success or failure of their home room. The president must prepare interesting and ben- eficial programs, for if they were not so what would be the use of having home room meetings twice a month? Simply a waste of time. The students have a perfect right to demand this of the president and if he doesn't 'Kcome across with the goods, so to speak, they have the priv- ilege of asking him for his resignation. The student in turn must prepare his part of the pro- gram well, for it is useless to try to have a good home room meeting unless each one co-operates. To allow the pupils to take charge of theirown room as- is done in the home-rooms, develops initiative and responsibility as no other thing in school does. If pupils are able to manage a home-room successfully they will be well trained to take their part in civil government when the time comes. Let's all try to make our.home room organization a still greater success.
