LETTERS A Doubring Thomas Sits: Time brags that seven out of ten of its readers will be high school students. After reading the screwy letters sent in, l am won- dering whether it is worth while to finish my high school education. Marian Rhode. 'lt is generally conceded worthwhile to complete ones high school learning. lf not. one would not be able to wear a cap and gown.-Ed. Volume Control Sits: I feel that most high school pupils do not appreciate libraries. You would be surprised at the small number of students who make use of the public library. Even when they do decide they'd better do a bit of research, its odd how some volumes of certain encyclo- pedias suddenly disappear. Dont the stu- dents appreciate Mr, Ray Pedersens little l?l outside reading assignments? And dont forget - the public library isn't a bad substitute for a date bureau, you shy young things. Almost anyone can get out of the house to go study. Yours for better paging. Harriette McHugh. The Complaini' Angler Sits: Whats the matter with this school? ls everyone English, or just plain dumb? Every time anyone makes a pun, everybody. fac- ulty included. either just sit, or else groan. How do they expect a guys natural talent to develop if he has no encouragement? l think its time for a little tolerance. Yours for freedom of speech, Bill Bakewell. 'We have no statistics on the nationali- ty census although there may be a few Eng- lish to whom you refer. As for the action of faculty and everybodyfthe pun may be worth a groan.-Ed. 24 S+re+ching I+ Sits: Something must be done about the gum chewing which goes on in this institution. Addicts chew at such a rapid rate that its considerably disturbing to associates: whereas, others clap jaws so slowly that they're not in harmony with the schools in- ner workings. By the way, can Duane Phelps decrease his capacity from 5 to 1 stick at a time? It should be each students duty to moderate his gum-chewing ten- dencies. Pulling for reform, Margaret Wahl. 'Gum on, students-wad are we here for?-Ed. AHen+ion, Please! Sirs: There isn't enough attention given to promising young tenors at C. E. H. S. Dissipatingly yours, Bob Corbin. 'Try singing in the bathtub.-Ed. A New Arrival Sirs: l have just finished writing a book on You, Too, Can Be a Mascot, in Ten Easy Lessons.

Berry Bancroft. Trade Talk Sirs: Students in high school are not enough interested in national alfairs. What they need is more A'Time. i Kenneth Thompson.

JUNIOR AFFAIRS CURRENT TRENDS Flappers 'ro Floogies Time passes: revelation of the Floogie era anchors the spotlight directly upon the group known to Cl:- High and wide as the odd- 31 lot. Marked by a series of trials, errors, provocative bits of this and the other, the junior class has made rapid strides to attain for it- self those qualities and char- acteristics ofthe all-around highschool class. Mass observation shows that only one in 16 of the male constituents wears hair dressing, while one in ten has his hair cropped like a convict to give that masculine elfect. The effeminate angle reveals daring new hairdos showing what young girls can't get away with. combined with kaleidoscopic degrees of facial fripperies. CAMPAIGNS Prima ries Early last fall in the wake of political rivalry, the junior class prepared for the an- nual election. Eager and determined coun- tenances appeared to be rapidly creating community interest in this race for the presi- dency of the class of 40. EIec+ion ' At the toll of 12 o'clock noon, Bill Bake- well, jovial joker of jun- ior jollity, was inaugur- ated as president: Bob Corbin, whose subtle way is the nucleus of much merriment,vice-president: Betty Bancroft, compan- ionable lass, holds the secretary's books: the in- dustrious Paul Hughes, known to operate a busi- ness involving the lacteal beverage from the bovine of the species, was unan- imously elected keeper of the monetary missiles as treasurer. As representative to CFl'lStudent forum, able diplomatKennethThomp- son was chosen by lead- ership er usus Ioqzzendi. By popular vote, Co- sponsors Gene Fisher and Paul Weaver came through, scoring a hit. Mr. Fisher has established an enviable rep- utation with his students, his pleasantry ever present. Mr. Weaver, a newcomer to the institution, has already become a fa- vorite. fl low the junior femmes go for his bow ties.j BY PRODUCTS No+e-ables Voted to be a most significant and indis- pensable principle to schoolife, recreation has truly found its way into the activities of the junior students. The school orchestra, under Director james Melichar, has pro- vided notable musical composition. Within organization one may spot such artists: El- ling Qpsal, john Walton, Bernice Bauer. In the field of forensics, Betty MacStay, lean Hills, and Marion Rhode shared blush- ing honors in the gentle art of debating. Kenneth Thompson has shown ability as a forceful debater, and proudly upheld the rec- ord by receiving coveted honors in the State and Brindley Tournaments. Dramatis personae of Tons of Money, farci- cal product of dramatur- gy, included such nota- bles as Orlene Campbell, Billy Bakewell, and Ken Thompson who display- ed much Thespian ability throughout the perform- ance, 23

So industrious was everyone in the lab one day that Messer Holst became two- facecl about the whole matter. Parting seems not so sorrowful: it hap- pens every clay in the life of a junior. D
