BOLIVAR HIGH SCHOOL BLIZZARD 9 member of the class who lias not sacrificed her beautiful tresses to the ruthless hand of the barber. Thanks to the influence of John. Olive, a sweet little olive for Charlie, my boy, occupies the high position of vice president in our class. Florence Murphy who sits directly in front of the last mentioned, is our talented school musician. As a tickler of the ivories she ranks supreme. Passing on to the boys’ section wo first find Melvin Howard Van-Curen, the dashing alentino of the class. At Washington Mel displayed his powers over women to good advantage. Sharing the same compartment is Harry Sackett, well known for his patent leather hair and aptitude for taking the part of a snob in the senior play. Last but not least, we see Malcolm McDivitt, our honorable president. Mac is noted for his masterful reign over the senior class and for his “Backbone.” Our Washington trip was an eventful one. Much hilarity was displayed by the various members on the train. (fur hotel accommodations were not of the best but nevertheless we enjoyed ourselves to the utmost. At various hours of the night or morning stern faced deetectives were seen promenading down the halls and at these times the scurrying of many feet and the slamming of many doors were noticeable. The first night, just as we were settling ourselves for a good night’s rest (at 3 A. M.) we were rudely aroused by the fire alarm and the clanging of many fire trucks. We were very much frightened and were all hanging out of the windows trying to see the big fire, but it was only a false alarm. This was only one of the many exciting incidents of our wonderful trip. We arrived in Glean at 4:30 A. M. on April 14, tired but happy. May the seniors of next year study as hard and enjoy themselves as thoroughly as we have always done. Juniors The Junior class of ’25 is a lively and frisky bunch. At the first part of this year there was quite a disastrous conflict between Juniors and Seniors as to who was to have their number on the tank. But of course the strong and robust Juniors showed the Seniors who was boss. Of course it would be improper not to mention the Junior-Senior reception. It was one of the most successful affairs that the school has ever functioned. As to the members of our class we will summarize their various activities during the year: Stella Ward—Our faithful class president, who has stood by us through thick and thin. Paul Husak—The “Hon. Paul” from Horse Hun is a vice president, also editor and chief of our year book. Star of “Casey at the Bat.” Gladys Orcutt—Secretary and treasurer has charge of all the class money. She is interested in vamping and has proved very successful. She is interested in carpenter work. Roberta Lain—A very efficient captain of the girls’ basketball team. She is here in body but not in spirit—that is in Buffalo.
