This year's ceremonies , in charge of the sophomore class, were unusually severe, say the martyred freshies . The regalia in which they appeared Friday was as worried as it was amusing to upperclassmen. For instance, LaVere appeared as Wee Willie Winkie, Dick as Betty Blue, Maxine as .Tack Horner, Cecil as Mistress Mary and Betty as Tom, the Piper's son. All the rest, including Virginia S., Kenneth I S., J.D.T., Bob W., John W., Marilyn J., Eleanor B.,'Dale G., Russell K., Richard S., Dale M., and Gordon H. were duly rigged for the occasion and received appropriate treatment' that eveninglfll WHAT DO YOU THINK? September 10, 1945 About this time of year, once a year, someone on the newspaper staff roams the halls seeking everyone's opinions of school in general. Some turned Ollf unprintable, but the naive sophies all had appropriate and relevent remarks to make. Eleanor Bartholomew- Do I have to answer? g LaVere Clay, This is the 1ife! g Betty Eggleston- It's a necessary evil, I guess. : Russell Katzer- Why ask me? : Virginia Simmons- School's okay if you like to work, but who's that crazy? 3 Kenneth Stevens- I don't let it bother me. g J. D., Bob W., and Gordon all agreed that school is swell . Their favorite subjects are basketball, football, and baseball. Homer Ross- Conrad's fine-plenty of gals. Bob Stover, John Wood, Richard Stackhouse could only be reached for comment through the land of dreams, for they were found snoozing behind biology text. Dale Mast- I don't know, and please don't quote me. g Marilyn Jeannoutot- Work's a little tough. : Maxine Wandel- It's getting too deep for me! : Cecil Wehrman- Oh, to be a senior, or at least to act like one! g Deick Leonard- The new teachers interest rl-e.
