'XSgo TROJAN Clio Turns AnotKer Page h? MART AGNES HICKS HIDDEN DEEP in the minds of sixty-two seniors may be found memories of cold, wintry afternoons on the gridiron, with blasts of frosty breezes whipping color into the cheeks of excited students cheering on the team fighting so desperately to bring glory to the orange and black. Vocal and instrumental music wafts through the corridors as students devote endless days to practice in preparation for contests. Breathless, tense moments before the curtains part and those well-rehearsed lines are spoken. The class play is in progress. “Time!” The last click of typewriters dies out and the State contest is at an end—with what results? “Resolved: That the several states should enact legislation—We of the affirmative still maintain— The battle of wits is on. “The printer just phoned that he needs fifteen more inches of copy, is solemnly announced to the journalism class, and the Life staff begins its bloodthirsty search for more news. Hushed silence reigns over the room as the impressive G. R. ceremonial is imprinted on the mind of each girl. True or false? Worried anxious faces peer thoughtfully at expressionless, blank walls as an overwhelming effort is made to squeeze from overworked minds the necessary information at the scholarship contest. These fleeting glimpses are suddenly brought to a halt and thoughts ponder for a moment over a few outstanding reminiscences of the past four terms. Thoughts wander at random back to Freshman days. One of our classmen won first in piano at the Hays’ Music contest” is joyously shouted through the halls. The entire building is packed with crazy looking people, who are acting more queerly than any ever produced in a comic strip. The last annual IIolx) Day is being observed. Boys, boys, boys! The town is overflowing with boys. No. the world has not suddenly become masculine: it is merely the State Sectional Hi-Y Conference at Beloit. Memories become less clouded as thoughts travel to the Sophomore year. “I.otta, Lotta, I surely thought a lot, a lot, o' Lotta.” The operetta, “Lotta”, takes one back to the romantic days of '49. We turn now from music to dramatics; one of our classmates carries a role in “The Quest”, the all-school play. We hav e now advanced out selves into the ranks of upper classmen. Ahem! Are you a toper? You might have thought yourself one after seeing our class display its dramatic ability in “Tea Toper Tavern”. The scene suddenly shifts to a setting in Holland. Wooden shoes and Dutch girls are a part of the operetta. “Hulda of Holland”. A feeling of stateliness possesses us as we descend into the Japanese garden, which is the setting for the reception given us by the Seniors. Work and more work, and then, that feeling of pride. Our modernistic work is completed. We have, in turn, entertained the seniors at our banquet. The click of typewriters ceases and one of our novice people has outclicked them all and won the State gold medal for speed. Bring on the eats;’' may be heard at the G. R.-Hi-Y picnic. At last, we are It and may look down upon the three underclasses. Bolts of cobblestone paper, snow, icicles. It's not Old Man Winter in person, but the scene of the senior-junior reception. I gotcha Stevie,” quoth the Brat. The curtains are drawn on the class dramatic production of the year. The Brat is pronounced an outstanding success. Do we like pickles? At least, we liked the kind of pickles produced by the music department when they presented the operetta, “Pickles”. The music department also displayed its ability when we carried home second honors from the N. C. K. L. music contest at Concordia. Character, scholarship, leadership, and service are the characteristics possessed by the five seniors elected to the National Honor Society. We find ourselves in a setting of two hundred years ago. The juniors have devoted their time and minds to planning a George Washington bicentennial banquet for us. These memories slowly fade into the dimness and our views are focused to peer into the coming vears, but a dense haze ahead prevents us from discerning any definite outlines. Maw 1932 Page Thirteen
