A WEE BIT MUMPY “Ow, ow, oh, ugh, ugh, gee, gosh, No not a pep session as you might imagine but just what was said by some people with swollen jaws when they tasted a. pickle (or any other sour thing for that matter of fact.) Edward Shoe was the first to take advantage of this broadening experien¬ ce but Stanley Hollopeter and Harriet Fruclite were soon to follow. This was too much for Mary Jane Shaffer and Forest Ken worthy, “What? let the afore mentioned people get everything good. Not on your life! They got it, too. When we thought the whole thing was through, who should get it but James Harkless. So with the “flu bugs” and all, we had a grand time keeping track of the absentees. This manuscript was duly signed and turned over to the editors who promptly lost it. Well my dear readers, I pride myself on my mem¬ ory. Just as I caught my breath after my labors who should get them but Bill Elston, if I had a shot gun and him at the same time, I’d pity him ’cause just think of his spoiling a perfectly good story. After this article was written many people felt so bad because their names were not in this illustrious and most remarkable item so they contracted the mumps. To fool them we’ll place their names here instead of in the ar¬ ticle. Gladys Doan, Kathleen Odle, Clifford Jolly. ----— o- CAN “U” IMAGINE Evelyn K. talking without her hands ?

The boys es¬ pecially are always ready to lend a helping hand unless it is something pertaining to school and then they back out. Although the boys can sing if they want to, Miss Schindler threat¬ ened to take them to the “Opportunity Room” for music class. Even though we have plenty of bad points we have good ones too. Five girls sang for chapel on Good Friday. They were: Naomi Ladd, Vir¬ ginia Brokaw, Elizabeth Meihls, Le¬ nore Teeple, and Eileen Wells. (I hope you’ll excuse us for bragg¬ ing, but no one else will do it for us.) (Note: While in their 7A year the SB’s were noted as the worst class in Central.) -o- THE BAND We have a trio of band players in our room. They are: Bob E. John¬ son, Ellis Squier and Bob Aeschliman. We hope they will make real musi¬ cians when they grow older. - IN MEMORIAM Monday morning, March 16, the sad news of Eleanore Werst’s ser¬ ious illness was passed from pupil to pupil. About ten o’clock the un¬ believable information that Elean¬ ore had passed away was confirm¬ ed. Only the preceding Monday she had attended her classes in the morning, though suffering from a severe cold. Influenza, followed by pneumonia was more than her frail little body could withstand though she fought bravely and continued planning the work she would do upon her return to school. Always quiet and studious, Elean¬ ore had endeared herself to her teachers and her classmates who keenly fell their loss. Her life was indeed worthy of emulation. To her sorrowing family we ex¬ tend our sincere sympathy. J -o- Editors Chief Editor.Eileen Wells Associate Editor.Cover McClure Business Managers.Naomi Ladd Lenore Teeple — 10 —
