One snowy day in March our Mural became the center of strange attractions, and how we wondered at the cause of it all! Soon we discovered that the Oracle flfl1'l1llll was behind it-planning its entry into our life. Our weekly paper pro- claimed the A111111al plan-informality, as informal as our life itself, and if you know our cafeteria, our corridors, our friendly classrooms, you know what I mean. Bits of genuine childhood and youth are there, and so it is that Little Bo Peep, the Chocolate Soldier, Little Miss Muffet, the Democratic Donkey, and other kindred souls got into our articles of school life. Remember how we used to love Fairy Tales? And how we used to love making mud pies? And, how we loved our book reports? Well, so-0-o fas dear old Fire Chief would put itj instead of merely presenting an account of the semester's work and having separate sections for faculty and students, we have put them all together, every activity an outgrowth of a department, every de- partment lots of fun, and this activity section an honest-to-goodness picture of yourselves. fl a ' all 5- xg Y .-:NN E . , is ' , 2 9 m il ff! f X P , Q Vfqxiigqf, ,gram 1 I wif l ,' ,ti-all 'i'v?? 225 nr L' 'ml 'Q Wye lil llfljlqll . ,fi all ,glaayiabaifgfigg fl '94 ii' ,1-J, -wtj,LL', fi ugylu, nw ' ' ' Ai it -, ii r

TI-IE JIG IS UP QUT Annual What, h0! A jig-saw?U Strange stuff this', said the deflated Re- publican elephant to the Democratic donkey, but we've always been part of a puzzle any- how, so let's jig about in this. Hee-haw , responded the cardboard crowned donkey as he proceeded to jig his way into our 1933 Arznmzf campaign, his card- board ears flopping to the rhythm of the Ger- man band. But before the elephant's deflation and the donkey's triumph went into effect, Con- gress met. Ruth Rehm and Viola Stringer conspired together. The result? Shall we ever forget the arrival of spring in our corridors when little Dolores Goldman gracefully swayed to the strains of Ellen Stuckert's flute? Al Lampe went about sow- ing his oats which did prove rather wild! Richard Piasecki, too, was inspiring as he nonchalantly whisked beetles', from the crepe paper holly hocks that snowy day in March. The Hrst week's rally was one of confusion. During that week we learned that Mary jane Brown was the undisputed champ of the jumping-rope and that Charlie Kantak made a splendid udog-of-war with the help of Jim- my Kettenhofen as his make-up man and at the same time, his calico cat. As for Goofus -Frank Bevsek uaccordionedv as he had never done before. But, oh, for that jig-saw-puzzle. The democratic d0nkey's ears couldnlt figure it out. Grace Tracy, guided by Mr. Boerner, and assisted by her cohorts painted scene after scene from life as they saw it, Mr. Gillo sawed the puzzles apart, and each day witnessed newly scratched scalps trying to fit them together again. Then came the final wind-up. After another week of instructive foolishness at the mural, the an- nouncement of an absolutely serious subscription drive clarified the air and relieved the pockets of dollars. Subscriptions went over the top, over fifty per cent. of the school subscribing on the Hrst day and seventy per cent. at the end of the week, ending the to be or not to be worries of Mr. Korn, chairman of pub- lications. Don McKeen got into clown togs for the final rally and to the auditorium we did go, the strains of the German band lingering generously from the previous week and keeping us marching straight through a rally where all the jigs were put together again and the bescratched scalps took on a less scarlet hue. Do you remember that day what envious glances Betty Shannon cast toward Belma Evanson as Art Ponto ardently chanted the Drink'to me only song? Roy Hammel, competing a bit, almost blew off his mask when he roared ferociously in the guise of the March lion. Then came the work on the year book itself. Daily Virginia Sinclair and Miss Lane reviewed, criticized, and reluctantly accepted articles laboriously written by Henry Schneider of the Science Club, Sylvia Or- zechowski of the Girls' Club, Margaret Clark of the Latin Club, Le Roy Goodman of the Boys' Club, Donald Fricker of Athena, Olga Hinich, John O'Laughlin, and Edwin Pionkowski, sports, and Ramona Vander- hoof of Household Arts Club and Round Table. Marguerite Krueger, Reinhold Peterson, and Hortense Rutkow- ski wrote and organized the senior material. Viola Stringer, as associate editor, headed this group and assisted whenever a clever pen was needed. In Mr. Korn's office Ruth Rehm plunged through stacks of labelled pic- tures, cluttered make-up sheets and messy glue pots, more than suffering acutely from stay-at-home nights and Mr. Korn's admonitions, while Miss Watson measured and re-measured what the seniors were doing, crowding them all in one brief space and giving that brief space to Peter Topitzes, Elaine Goetz, La Verne Ebert, Ellen Wolf, Herbert Meyer, Alice Ramiszewski, all senior biographers.
