SEEING THE SCHOOL THROUGH THE JUNIORS Characters: Miss High School J eios Reporter —Jane Watts Miss High School—There's that man again—he's been on my trail for the last half-hour. Oh dear me—he’s coming at me—there's no ducking him this time. Reporter—Ah! Miss High School, are you not? You see, 1 am a reporter! Surely you could not deny the public a bit of inside information on your so-called glamorous school life. Miss High School—Definitely not! I am a member of the Junior Class. You see, I am very proud to be a member of this particular class in the Crooksville High School. There isn t a dull moment in a day-load. And of all the famous people! Everyone has heard of our second Jeanette MacDonald in Marguerite Singer, who starred in the greatest smash-hit of the season, Purple Towers. Right beside her was Lois Bonifant, who weekly holds her audience spellbound as her rippling fingers fly over the piano keys. And talking about girls there is Bettie Jo Fitzer—why Cleopatra enjoyed no greater fame than she. Reporter—Well, this seems to be one time when girls are tops! Miss High School-Oh! Don't misunderstand me—-Jack Hull discovers something every day which Einstein doesn't know. Our high school sport teams were practically made of Junior fellows—Let me see there is Fred Hill, Paul Weese, Jack Hull, Lyle Talbot, Bill Curl, Robert Roush, Bill Sowers, Frank McAllister, Gerald Fisher, Eugene Luster and Owen Tharp! Reporter—Tell me, Miss High School, do the Juniors take part in many other extra-curricular activities besides athletics? Miss High School—Certainly! Every member of our class belongs to one or more of cither the Sokol, Ifka, Hi-Y, Free Lancers, Glee Club, or Future Homemakers Clubs. Our class is represented in the school's Student Council by Jean Tatman, Helen Fleming, Lyle Talbot, and Rodney Yoder. And do they go about it with vim and vigor! You should see them hunting, making, and filling “dates” for the club parties. Reporter—You said previously that there wasn't a dull moment in a day-load —certainly there are a few blue notes in a school-life. Miss High School—Oh, Mr. Editor—You don't know the Juniors! The “wit of Double Dumb Fisher, Dopey Tharp, Red Roush, Tucker’ Talbot, Percy Dicken, Jack Hull, and Bill Curl make Jack Benny sound stale. But really, 1 must be going, 111 be late to French again. Reporter—Certainly sounds like some class! But won't you please tell the public just a little more before you go, Miss High School? Miss High School—I might add that after meekly entering, bravely attacking ,and victoriously completing (we hope) such brain teasers” as chemistry, geometry, commercial law, etc., the Juniors feel themselves ready, willing and able to assume the honorable title The Crooksville High Seniors of 1939.” We reluctantly leave our old Junior room and the faithful smiles ot Miss Christine Galloway, our advisor, to the Juniors of next year.
