We cannot say how sorry we are, for we feel that we have many friends in Blewett, teachers as well as pupils. The members of our group are: First Miss Brown, our adviser dear, For whom we all will give a hearty cheer: Then comes Billy Candy, our chairman and cook. And Roy Parker who never opens a book. Then Helen Morris, Goddess Bountiful she, While Olive jaedeman a great writer will be. There's Elizabeth Paschel so bashful and shy And Edward Miller who's not very shy. Louis Etzkow and jay Stafford heralds are, While Helen Cohen's our future movie star. Then there's Lester Pence who takes his time And talks to the girls along the line: Franklin and John very quiet are, While Erna and Blanche in modesty star. Marguerite Renfrow and Virginia C. Are quite as happy as spring can be. Katherine Shoemaker, she has such bashful, eyes, And Paul Kirk, hm-m-m, you'd be surprised. Yes, George Spear is our sailor bold, While Edward David's just the opposite, I'm told. Then Elmer Weneker and Harvey Vance In vocations are quite advancedg While Morris Balch is our Workman strong And Joe Pasternak's as broad as he is long. Then Come Charles Landry and Bill Walker, Yes, two of our most accomplished talkers. Irving Miller is our popular lad, While Mary Worrell, she's our lass. We're sorry to leave you Junior High, Yes, we Brownies are as sorry as can be: Yet we won't forget you as the years roll by But to you we'll ever loyal be. 58

- A B Grossman's Tanks M 'W E are thirty-seven in all, and we call ourselves Grossman's Tanks. W Our motto is Soldan by june or Bust . None of us have been igl mg with the group the full two years. Four started with Mr. Grossman in September, 1919, but they have meanwhile been in two other groups. Of the rest, with the exception of three, all have been in three or more groups, one having been in as many as six. Our officers are: President ........ Harry McIntosh Reporter ....... Hermine Steinbiss Vice-President ....... Anne Becker Congress-woman ..... Anne Becker Secretary ......... Margaret Kuntz Congress-man ...... Edward House Anne Becker and Franklin Swimmer 'T he Twentieth Century Limited , Y ,UR group, The Twentieth Century Limited, is composed of P twenty-Eve boys, who live in room 3011, which is the highest limb , of the tree of Ben Blewett. Our officers are as follows: President, Robert Caseg Vice- President, Oscar Schroeterg Secretary, Myles Thurston, Re- porter, QNinth grade staff assistantj Harry Loeb, Congressmen, Warren Fisk, Jefferson Donnelly. Most of our group came to junior from the elementary schools in April, 1919. With the exception of a few, we all had Miss Crecelius as our first ad- viser in room 301, where we had many pleasant times, and got a right start in Junior. Miss Crecelius having been made seventh grade administrator, we were given. to Mr. Forsman, whom we enjoyed having as an adviser for one year and a half. Under Mr. Forsman's wise guidance, we overcame obstacles, had enjoyable days and progressed in our work. When we reached the ninth grade, Mr. Boettner, whom we all admire and respect, took us in charge. Our group has co-operated in many ways to help the school: We went over the top in Junior Life subscriptions in ten minutesg we brought the highest amount of paper for a few weeks in the competitions and have given two good Auditorium sessions. Our group has always been on top in sports. In baseball, in 19210 we Won the seventh and eighth grade championship. In 1921, we hope to be champions of the school. We have participated not only in baseball, but in track, football and basketball. We are going to continue the good work throughout our last half year of Junior and into the senior high school.
