came the finished product and- Get your munchy-crunchy ice cream and win the contest. Don't take this literally for it comes from that really grand play, China Boy, a three-act comedy produc- ed by a group of junior high students under the direction of Miss Kessler. These students made up the cast: Tommy Love, Francis Clark, Bill Benson, Betty Lou Berghoff, Dick Cochran, Jane Dixon, Harry Hiner, Kirby Hook, and Bob Menzie. After the play and just before Easter vacation, an impressive tableau, Easter- tide, a story of Christ's life on earth, was presented in pantomime. The A Cappella Choir, Choral Speaking Choir, and the following students: Barbara Smith, Leah Salamone, Joyce Rodgers, Nellie Smith, Don Myers, Paul Licatavich, Wilburt Lundgren, and Bob Shobert combined their efforts in producng this solemn por- trayal. Then on the day Easter vacation be- gan, there was something you girls will surely remember. Tad Jones appeared in a special assembly. Imagine having an autogyro parked in front of your house! ! It all seemed impossible until we heard Tad, the popular young scientist, explain, at his lecture on gyroscopes, the possibili- ty of autogiros replacing automobiles. It might be a good idea to get your order in early for one of these new flying limousines. Incidentally, two of your re- porters were thoroughly disappointed when Tad , in any interview after the address, disclosed the fact that he was already married. Gee, what a let down! How about it girls? Memories of the all-school picnic still linger sweetly in the minds of everyone who attended it. Oh, if all our school days could be like that one! Of course, you didn't really need to be reminded that it was held at the Municipal Park. I might also add, it was probably the biggest event of the year. Qntdoor games were the main thing on the program. Most enjoy- ed was the one between the teachers and a selected group of students. Oh, what a game it was, too! Each person took a lunch, and additional pop and ice cream was sold by the Student Council. After the picnic we ninth graders realized our days in junior high were numbered. As a climax to a memorable year our Commencement exercises on Tuesday afternoon, June 2,f were a simple and impressive ceremony.. Its care- fully planned program featured: Music . Junior High Orchestra Processional . Junior High Orchestra Song-God Bless America Flag Salute . . . Don Miller Address .... Ed Brown Song-Class Song Student Views- Our History . Geraldine Carmella Our Heritage . Florence Burfield Our Future Ned Foster, Dick Cochran Special Music Ninth Grade Girls' Chorus Presentation of Diplomas Introduction . . . Ed Brown Presentation of Diplomas Special Music . ' . . . Bill Allen Presentation of Mantle . Bill Benson Acceptance of Mantle . Miriam Hall Song-Alma Mater Move Up- ' Ninth grade out, Eighth grade up Recessional .... Orchestra Song-America Pianists-Ann Merris, Jane Shaffer, and Craig Patterson. Monitors-Sheldon Rideout, Don Kilmer, Norman Rivkees, and Darrell Hayes. Cheerleaders-Anna Mabel Kuhn and Jackie Stubbs. This experience marked another notch on our achievement stick. Those booklet diplomas will be precious souvenirs of our years in junior high. To commemorate this great occasion, on that same evening a combination Ninth Grade Party and Commencement Dance was held from 8-11. Dancing, of course, occupied the limelight. However, for those who did not want to dance, there were plenty of games for entertainment. With Mr. Andrew goes all of the ninth graders' best wishes, and we certainly hope that all of his troubles will be anchored down with happiness. '

CLASS PROPHECY-1942 Last night I had a dream about sev- eral of the'ninth graders. In my dream it was 1957, just fifteen years,from now. I had been listening to the radio and look- ing at the daily paper. The program changed and I heard a familiar voice speaking. I listened. It was the an- nouncer. Yes, I was right, it was Beverly Smyers, one of the first woman announc- ers. Can you imagine my surprise when she announced that Bill Walker, the comedian, was on the air? Well, of course, I listened because I could remem- ber Bill when we went to junior high! With him, as guest, was Joan Johnston, that dignified old maid. Poor Joan! She just couldn't make up her mind. On the next program, Information Please , Forrest Brubaker and Barbara Smith were guests. The things those two didn't know weren't worth knowing. Then, thinking I'd see what was hap- pening in the world, I picked up my paper again. The first thing I noticed was that the President and several politicians were planning a short vacation together. Among the politicians was Dick Cochran. He and the President, Ed Brown, were, as I remember, friends in school. What's this I see? Policeman Mike Callahan, while out on the beat, caught that well- known pickpocket, Francis Clark. Francis got his training in ninth grade. He made quite an occupation of it, too. Ah! Now here's something. That woman FBI agent Tommy Make-You- Talk Love is on another case. Well now, I wonder who it could be this time. Of course, I'm not surprised to note that Ken Johnston is an orator now and will speak here next month. He always was quite a talker. Hmm! The world famous Dr. Craig Patterson, assisted by nurse Helen Gard- iner, made a remarkable operation on debutante Donna Pennington and saved the life of that much-sought-after miss. Well, well! I expected it would hap- pen, and it has. John Hrin has become wrestling champion of the world. Speaking of wrestling, I see here that Lila Lee Hiner, that noted woman wrest- ler, will wrestle tonight at the Garden ! I must remember to see that. She and I were great chums at school. ' Now, on the social page, I see that that most eligible bachelor, Sheldon Rideout, has gone back to his country retreat. Good hiding, Sheldon! It seems that the winner of the beauty contest that was held yesterday was an- nounced by one of the judges, Mr. Bill Shenkle. The winner, of course, was Betty Braund. What else would you ex- pect? t The columnist, Ned Foster, hints that there's somethin' cookin' or why would the town's number one play boy, Kirby Hook, be seen with the same girl so often lately-and in the more secluded places? Maybe he's settling down some. Oh! This is news! Miss Ellen Mont- gomery was discovered gazing at the stars with Bill Allen one foggy night long ago. Did I hear someone mention Rever- end Eugene Miller in connection with their names?
