The Coach prowled to the doorstep For his forward star to see, He kicked over a flower pot, And he badly bruised his knee The King is on the doorstep, And now he’s in the street, And now he’s placing all his hopes Of playing in his feet. Now the King is kinda sleepy, As Paul Church can plainly see, “What time, Anthony”? says Coachey, “It was almost nine,” says he. By grapevine telegraph we hear that several of the fish on Mc¬ Laughlin’s line have broken away WITH THE BAIT and all. And talking of crust, when Jimmy Kubal doesn’t know where his date lives, he has the boy friend show him. At last we found out Ray’s rea¬ son for so many trips to Gary and Hammond.

I tried looking straght into his eye¬ balls, but he began to crawl up on me. Then I thought of plunging my arm down his throat, grabbing his tail, and pulling him inside out, but I decided it would be too dang¬ erous. Yet he kept creeping to¬ ward me and I had to think fast. B. Harper: How did you get away? M. Clark: I just left him and passed on to the other cages.

The following class officers were elected that fall: president, William Fifield; vice-president, Harold Tay¬ lor; and secretary-treasurer, Mal¬ colm Clark. Again after three months’ vaca¬ tion, we started our sophomore year by electing Douglas Dickey, president; Dorothy Volk, secretary- treasurer. Several boys showed fine ability i in athletics this year. William Fi¬ field was on the varsity, and Doug¬ las Dickey and James Kubal were on the football team. Malcolm Clark, John Louis, Clarence Wach¬ ter, Delbert Fisher, and Douglas Dickey were on the second team of basketball. In the high school operetta given during our sophomore year, Vir- gina Lane, with her unusual talent, had the lead as a charming gypsy maid. Edward Glover and Bernard j Pressler distinguished themselves also, in this operetta. The following four sophomore girls were taken into the Pepinella Club: Ann Johnson, Virginia Lane, Wilma Stewart, and Marcella Col¬ lins. The class had two students who won honors for themselves as well as the school. Virginia Lane wrote an essay on George Washington which won a medal from the D. A. R. Bernard Pressler, who plays a sliding trombone, won first place in the National Orchestra Contest in Detroit. In the fall of 1933 John Louis was elected president; Virginia Lane was elected vice-president; and Dorothy Volk, secretary-treasurer. William Fifield, Douglas Dickey, James Kubal, and Dan Andemacht were on the football varsity. Fine potential ability for football was shown by John Louis, Andrew Place, Malcolm Parry, and Edward Glover. In basketball Douglas Dickey, John Louis, and James Kubal did their bit as subs. The most thrilling time in the lives of some of the juniors was the class play, “Pigs,” by Anne Morri¬ son, which was presented November 15. Tommy Atkins, Jr. (John Louis) decided to help his father, Thomas Atkins, Sr. (Ed. Glover) financially, by buying some pigs, then selling them for profit. He is encouraged in more ways than one by his fian¬ cee, Mildred Cushing (Mary Har¬ grove). Besides buying sick pigs, which Junior pays for with his mother’s (Ann Johnson) ring, they blackmail Mildred’s cousin, Lenore Hastings, (Virginia Lane.) Who is spoiled by her wealthy father.
