COLF DANCE You should have caught the Golf Special out to the Sport Hop at 5026 Green- wood Ave. The orchestra played up to par and a few to spare. We teed Off Wlth a few well placed exchange dances from our score cards. This was followed by a dash down the fairway with a lemon to handicap some couple's progress. After fi couple of good drives out of the rough we cooled off at the lemonade stand. When we had played around the course about twelve times Ca good record fOr one day? we rested on the bunkers and watched a couple of foursomes tap off a neat clog dance on the green. , iWhen the game was over and the scores all tabulated we found some curious statistics. About seventy-five couples were competing for first place with IOOOZQ good time on the Golf course. SENIOR MINSTREL Thought I was driftin' on the Swanee When I heard those darkies croon. But the river was Cenespe The darkies make believe coons. These make believe coons were good, their jokes were funny, their harmony sweet and their dances clever. I can't keep from mentioning on little darky especially, Amos Lerch. She can sing St. Louis Blues on my back porch every nite in the week and twice on Sundays. Al Jolson should take lessons from Amos. No foolini she made the downpour of rain sound like a sweet accompaniment. All I mean is that darky can sing any place at any time and I,ll listen. PHYSICAL EDUCATION CONVENTION We had the privilege of hearing some of the foremost Physical Educators of the country speak and also of seeing some of their work demonstrated. VVe did our bit by doing a Danish number for the members of the association. WVe all felt so graceful in our new costumes and our clever chamois shoes. If half the demonstration at Roosevelt High School was as good as we thought our number was the Mid-West Physical Education Association won't need to meet for the next ten years. FINAL DEMONSTRATION We,re all working like mad on the final dem. Mr. Bo. is giving the Seniors a chance to show their ability by giving us some beautiful exercises and some wonder- ful plastic work. Mr. Teuscher is showing something new and different along the line of calisthenics and of course there will be the usual tumbling number. Mrs. Hazlitt and Wapo are taking all our time and even our spare moments to teach us some lovely Greek dances and some clever character and tap dances. Hereas hoping we all put our best foot forward when the big night arrives. 40

CHRISTMAS PARTIES Exit Fall in all its glory, now comes 'Winter I settled down to a drab affair of about six months but I had a pleasant surprise. Right after the girls at Kendall had a Dorm. dance the Juniors played Santa Claus to the Seniors at the annual Christmas party. I thought I was in snowball land where only Christmas trees grow, I was sure of it when Santa came rushing in Cminus his snow shoesj. Every- one became so interested in the presents they received that they forgot to play anymore games. I decided Ild better take my present and go home before they asked me to be it in another game. No, I didnlt leave before the lunch. Thatls how I managed to get sick, I ate too many popcorn balls with my cookies and ice cream. just before we left for vacation we had our Candle Lighting service. The decorations were so Christmasy and the stories and music both so impressive. It made us all feel that the world wasn't such a bad place to live after all. School was out and the girls all ran Like only we Phys. Ed. girls can. IfVe tore to the station with fast beating heart Two grips unloading, one falling apart. Fifteen days of vacation Again we ran to the station Glad to leave and glad to return. Variety's the spice of life we learn. THE MID-YEAR DEMONSTRATION It's a great life if you don't weaken, so Nlr. Teuscher says. Of course we didnlt weaken and returned just in time to assist the school in putting on an elaborate Nlid-Year demonstration. Judge from this, I changed my costume four times and I was only a minor detail. SPRING PARTIES Itls a long story but winter finally broke. We filled in the between times with bridge parties at Greenwood. I nearly kick out a fuse when Owakon kicked over the water pitcher while attempting to blew Nliska under the table for trumping her ace. Outside of that we managed to follow suit till Spring came. And then- no, our fancies didnlt turn etc, etc., they stayed right on the beaten path. IrVe followed the trail out to South Chicago Y one night and added a great deal to their program by putting on a Danish number for them. I then decided that my work- ing days were over for a while so I went home for Spring vacation. 39
