THE. KASHNHR- r me rm.- .gr -misses twengyg-QQ iiuninr Qlllass Zlaistnrp On September 13, 1926, sixty very bright girls and boys started out to become extras in the movies. For some time they had been looking forward to this adventure, and all of them were assured that they were highly qualified for their new role as extras. They took as their director Miss Lionstance Isolany, who had had much previous experience along this line. When they arrived at their destination, they found that they were only considered very green extras, and they looked with envy upon those ahead of them, who could do with ease the new and seemingly impossible duties assigned to them. lt was with a great deal of difficulty that they became accustomed to the new life. Finally, they organized themselves as Freshmen. The extras who arrived the previous year, and were therefore considered superior to them, took great delight in playing jokes on them, but they learned this was customary, and took it with a smile. After they became firmly established as extras their duties really began, and many were the dangers they faced. Many troubles and hardships cropped up which, in their inexperience, seemed almost insurmountable. Neverthe- less, they did not give up, being spurred on by the promise of three months of vacation, and in due time they had finished their work and were told they could have a rest until the following September. They spent these three months resting and enjoying themselves after their first trying experiences as extras. For their second year they chose Miss Carmen Batie as their director. They organized themselves as Sophomores and they, in turn, got their re- venge, enjoying the antics and misfortunes of the new Freshmen, who had not yet learned the many things necessary to become extras. After working for nine more months and having successfully passed through all the exciting and strenuous times which every extra encounters, they were again granted a three months' vacation. After three months of well-earned vacation, they again started to work. Their director this time was Miss Susie Steele. They called themselves Juniors and elected the following officers for their group of extras: Presi- dent, Johnny Simpson, Vice-President, Joe Beeson, Treasurer, Ralph Spear, Secretary, Ruth Long. This year they were plunged into the midst of more strenuous, excit- ing, and nerve racking work than ever before, but they soon became ac- customed to it, and got along nicely. By this time they had become very important extras and they took great pride in presenting for the public a very interesting and humorous play entitled, The Mummy and the Mumps. This play would have been a credit to the regulars. Toward the last of the year they gave a banquet in honor of the older extras, the Senior Class of '29, who would be seen the following year in the new roles of stars, producers, scenario writlers, and directors. They have just been granted another summer vacation. Next year will be their last and they promise that they will accomplish more than at any other time during their career as extras.

THQSTSASPLIVQQ ,, ., S rr - ,Trs,.3am?5nty-Seven bnpbumnre Qlilass ibisturp For the first scene we turn the camera to a gro of noisy, unruly Freshmen, straying here and there, gazing at the objec s and scenes of the High School. Even though they are bold they look with apprehension at the group of faculty members, who are watching them too closely for their peace of mind. Several days later the camera finds a more frightened and subdued group of freshmen. We see them staring blankly at the bulletin board, which has written on it Freshmen Initiation tonight at 7:30. That night there is a scene of confusion. We would see some of the freshmen danc- ing wildly around, some eating onions, and some rolling peanuts across the stage with their noses. In the assembly after this we would see the freshmen as a part of the high school. We would no longer see the Sophomores ridicule the Fresh- men for the latter always get to their correct classes. For the rest of the year we would see the Freshmen study quite well, but toward the end of the year they would be a noisy and. unruly lot. We would see the faculty members together planning to have the usual class picnics. We will now turn the camera to a committee of Freshmen planning the picnic. On the papers are written menus, names of Freshmen, what they are to bring, and who can bring cars. . We will now show you the scene of the picnic. First, we will see the Freshmen madly dashing after the treasure They find a big' box of peanuts hidden in a tree, and then the boys start playing baseball. Mr. Carle was found to be as good as any of the boys at baseball. We next see Miss Long leading a group of girls around to the wild flowers and starting their lessons in Botany. We also find Miss Lowrie busy. She is guarding the packages containing the lunch. Next we will show you the tables loaded with food. They all see it and grab a plate. , After a short interval of time they are busy finding their own plates, dishes, and whatever else they have brought. We next see them happy because school is out and glad they are Sopho- mores and can initiate the Freshmen. Three months later we will see the sophomores who are looking with scorn and contempt at the fearful group of freshmen. Many scenes of Freshmen abuse follow. A group of Sophomore boys take a Freshman out and throw him into the tumble weedsg another group holds a Freshman to paddle him. After initiation they are received as a part of the high school, and in conclusion, we see the Sophomores ready to stop teasing the Freshmen and to study for the remainder of the year.
