% SENIOR CLASS NOTES I CLASS NOTES i Senior Class Play to Be Held May IBBlBBIBilMBB HIBHUlt Miss Kellogg has definitely an- nounced Wrecking Robert ' s Bud- get as the Senior Class play. Wrecking Robert ' s Budget is a comedy in three acts and requires a cast of seven boys and four girls. Try-outs will begin immediately following spring vacation, and if everything turns out as planned, the play will be presented on May 2. Hallowe ' en colors, and the grave and reverend seniors in attendance reported such a grand old time as made the younger classmen dream dreams of a great day coming. ODE TO MY MUSTACHE (Dedicated to Mr .Evans, Amos San- chez and Max Dyer.) Hail to thee, oh fringe of fuzz, ver- dant and thin, That has hibernated on that virgin soil above my chin, Which is known and appreciated as my upper lip. Even as the tasselled corn or shred- ded wheat Doth shoot from out the fertile ground, So, too, dost thou slowly spring out beneath My nasal edific e, silently, without a sound! Again Hail! voluptuous ornament, Monarch, strainer of the toothsome soup ! ' Twill not be many years before you begin to droop — , And then, Oh Earth! Oh Land! Oh Joy Sublime! Will come the heavenly, glorious time — Oh, gee, if fuzz doth come, Can larger hairs be far behind? The Senior Girls ' annual hare and hound chase was the event of the school ' s second week, and can be rated as a success despite the fact that Mother Nature shed briny tears on the occasion, which failed signal- ly to dampen the ardor of either the hares or the hounds. A 3 p. m. on Friday afternoon the girls of the school assembled, — Miss Weber in charge of the Whites, while Miss Nathan led the Greens — and took up the trail left by the Seniors, which meandered in strange and un- used by-ways, and sometimes all but vanished, requiring keen eyes to fol- low, ending eventually in Maddox ' s Grove, the Greens victor over the Whites by a narrow margin. Re- freshments were served to both vic- tors and vanquished by the Senior Girls.

Never seek to tell thy love, Love that never told can be; For the gentle wind doth move Silently, invisibly. I told my love, I told my love, I told her all my heart, Trembling:, cold, in ghastly fears. Ah! she did depart! Soon after she was gone from me, A traveler came by, Silently, invisibly; He took her with a sigh. — William Blake.

Pmss I SCHOOL CREATES THREE SOCIETIES AMONG STUDENTS GREAT FORWARD STEP TAKEN— SPARTANS, OLYM- PIANS AND THESPIANS IS For some time it has been felt jthat our extra-curricular activities were not complete as we had no lit- erary socities of any kind. Last year we did have a dramatic society, but it did not fill the needs of the school nor satisfy the demands of the students, and so to satisfy these } desires three societies were organ- ized at the beginning of this year. The three societies were numbered and the membership in the societies was determined by lot. Fred Stewart; Treasurer, Geraldine Herriman. For the Olympian— ' - President, Robert Whitmore; Seere- e I tary, Mildred Deuel; Treasurer, Fred Luce. For the Thespians — Presi- l dent Earl Metcalf; Treasurer, Har- s old Walsh; Secretary, Paul McNitt. ;s The purposes of organizing these ,s societies may to some extent be self- evident. The constitutions specify U as their aims to promote better k school spirit, to destroy any cliquish- 7 ness which may exist in the school, to build up a better spirit of co-oper- d ation between the students them- ■- selves, to learn to conduct meetings of all kinds according to the rules THESPIAN PROGRAM The Thespian Society is to be con- gratulated on the splendid program they gave for the assembly last Thursday. In fact, they are the only society who have come up to the ex- pectations of the faculty with their entertainment. Earl Metcalf, president of the so- ciety, opened the program with an address on the aims and achieve- ments of the club. The feature of the program was. a play, The Matrimonial Advertise- ment, with the following cast: Theodosia Ball. .Aunt Martha Gordon Mabel Myers Mary Jane Cole ! Edna Jane Kahn.... Grandmother Cole Jim Baker Jack Cole William Simmons .....Uncle Cyrus Gordon The play was well acted, and the cast evidently spent time and effort in making it a success. Beteween the acts Jim Baker gave a recitation ,and Harold Russell ac- companied by Mrs. Redman, played two violin selections. The whole program was exception- ally good, and it is hoped the other societies will follow the Thespian ' s good example. s
