3)imiiu s NEOLITHIC JUNIORS After living in Chester High for two years, our group came to be known as the Junior Clan. Year by year we have shaped a government, directed at the present time by our capable chiefs, Miss Casto and Mr. Ellis. Most of our members h'ave contributed quite a lot to our group life. Suppose that for the time being we are walking toward our village with Mr. Neolithic Junior Class. Because of his prosperous occupation, candy salesman at Chester High, Mr. Class has a little money to spend. As a result, he fakes us into the crystal-gazing shop on the corner, where in no time at all we find ourselves seated and gazing into the crystal ball. We watch spellbound as the small dark spot in the globe grows larger and clearer, and we see a group of rugged men gathered on a hillside. Out on the prairie nearby we see a great herd of candy bars. We recognize William Preusse (president), whose task it is to keep order in the little village of fellow Junior Clansmen. Bernice Moeller (vice-president) is there, ready to take over, should he not be able to attend. In the hut thtit serve as the treasury, we see Marjorie Gnaegy counting the day's earnings from the sale of select candy bars to the neighboring tribes. The image shifts from hut to hut. Now we look into a large one and see tribesmen Esther Taylor, Vera Beane, Fred White, Harriet Farrell, Truman Cashman, and Frank Clayton, all of whom are talking with much expression. This is the Dramatic Hut. Next door we catch a glimpse of Ioma Anderson, Bobbie Dell Ve’ath, Lillian Schuchert, Bernadine McGuire, Vera Beane, Esther Taylor, Harriet Farrell, Marie Welten, and Minnie Jeremiah. The sweet songs we hear could come from nowhere but the Glee Club Hut. Yes, there is Miss Hack. Next we get a swift view of the entire village, and see clansmen roaming about. Over at the edge of a clearing near the community is Earl Hasemeyer. He is holding at bay an ugly monster that is called a Trigonometry Problem . Using his trusty sharp-pointed pencil and his book of unfailing remedies for such predicaments, his Trig book, he subdues the enemy. Arthur Henson, Winston McEuin, Derrill May, Leo Usher, and Hoby Stoffel keep close guard around the little pasture where the candy bars are grazing, because these animals furnish the tribe with food and income of treasure from the other tribes. Dorothy Mabuce, Norma Magers, Ioma Anderson, Edna Lindenberg, Jimmy Harlan, and Dorothy Lee Stille are at the moment exercising their fingers on that queer possession, the typewriter, and some are studying the new tribe language, shorthand . Several times we have noticed Bob Brasel, Delbert Courier, and Louis Hartje playing tricks on some other companion. From all indications a celebration is about to take place. We see crude signs painted and a parade getting under way. A closer view shows the signs to hail a victory over a neighboring tribe, the Spartans, in a contest over a ball. Heroes of the occasion are Emmett Essary, Frank Clayton, Fred White, and James Stoffel. There are signs everywhere about the village that show us the Neolithic Juniors are fast traveling toward civilization. By 1941 they will no doubt have left this New Junior Age , and will be counted among the civilized Seniors. 24
