Junior High Notes In the fall of 1934 there were ninety-six Junior High School pupils enrolled, forty-four being seventh grade pupils which came to this building for the first time. Some of the seventh graders are so small we thought they might have come from the fourth or fifth grade. The Professor: “Your son has a great thirst for knowledge. Where does he get it?” Mother: “He gets the knowledge from me and the thirst from his father.” advisors are Miss Dutton and Miss Smith. The eighth grade class has gone in for athletics in a big way this year, the boys coming through by winning the class basketball tourn¬ ament and also winning all outside games except one. In celebration of the winning of the class tourna- Mrs. Seamonson: “Who was King of France during the Revolution?” Heide: “Louis the Thirteenth—no, the Fifteeneth—no, the Fourteenth —no, the—well, anyhow he was in his teens.” ment the boys entertained some ol the girls. The eighth grade girls have done quite well, winning three games oui of five. Soon our eighth grade year will be over and we will begin four years of hard grinding. Mr. Atkins: “Before I was married I said I would be the boss or know the reason why.” Mr. Jones: “And now?” Mr. Atkins: “I know the reason why.”

Miss Foster and Mrs. Seamonson were chosen as advisors for the girls, and Mr. Kirk¬ patrick and Mr. Jones for the boys. Their first “big” duty was to elect officers and choose a class flower and colors. After a much de¬ bated election, this was accomplish¬ ed. Betty Griesel was elected president; Bob Welsh, vice-presi¬ dent; Bob Sykora, secretary, and Vella Lee Page, treasurer. June Thompson was chosen for the Student Council. Black and gold were selected as our colors, and the yellow rose for the class flower. The senior girls “threw” a “big sister” party for the freshmen girls at the fair grounds in the fall. Jimmy Wagner and Fern Purdy were chosen as the freshmen repre ¬ sentatives for king and queen of the Hallowe’en carnival at the close of the contest, Fern was chosen to reign as Queen of the carnival. June Thompson and Gladys Lif¬ fick showed unusually good talent in the leading parts of the annual high school operetta: “The Singer of Naples,” which was given Decem¬ ber sixteenth. A large group of freshmen girls and boys played minor parts. This year fifteen freshmen boys went out for football and proved to be most faithful in their practice. Bob Ellis, Mickey McKnight, Jim Wagner, Chuck Nassau, John Young, George Brooks, Bob Welsh, and Bob Sykora made up the fresh¬ men basket ball team. They were (Continued on Page Twenty Onei

Pepinella Well, here we are back again safe and sound. We had to talk and talk to Mr. Pruitt, but he finally broke down. After Mr. Pruitt’s con¬ sent to have our good old Pep Club, we had our first meeting September 14, 1934. We elected the following officers for the entire year: Bernice Brooks, president; Vada Pinter, vice president; Aimee Parry, secretary and treasurer. With the aid of our president, Bernice Brooks, we start¬ ed our active year. We had our Pep meetings on Friday the 8th per¬ iod. Whenever there was an im¬ portant football game, the Pepi- nellas tried to pep it up at assemb¬ lies. About Christmas time, we took in new members consisting only of Juniors and Seniors. The new pledges were: Agnes Brueckman, Clarice Diamond, Irene Golden, Mae Hofferber, Agnes Penska, Elizabeth Taylor, DeEtte Tilton, Viola Heick Helen Howe, Helen Patterson, Eli¬ zabeth Steinman, and Wilma Trump. As we could not initiate during school, we saved al of our energy and ideas until the eve of the initia¬ tion on November 21. Next came our date dance, which was held on December 8th. It was fun listening to the talk of the girls who were wondering whom they were going to ask and what they were going to wear—especially the pledges. The second Pepinella dance of the year was held May 4, 1935 in the gym of C. P. H. S. The Pepin¬ ella girls cordially invited all the girls of the school and their friends to attend the dance. It was a big success, financially and otherwise. The music was furnished by Mal¬ colm Stonex’s orchestra. The gym was gayly decorated with bright colors. It was the biggest Pep dance held for the past two years. We had a very good year, and I don’t see how the girls will get along without our efficient officers. CARRY ON PEPINELLAS!
