gulf. our slfelod fo Jlfriales lorogreade . 41 t gun--' We cast ballots for class oiiicers, 5 IMA, me Kfcm of I 942.1 In January, 1940, we officially became the Class of 1942. At our first meeting as a class, Miss Cairnes intro- duced to us our adviser, Miss.Anna C. Miller, and her assistants, Miss Helen E. Knorr, Miss Freda G. Deno- witch, and Mrs. Therese P. Thompson. How elated we were at our first public recognition! We set about choos- ing officers, our electioneering progressing with much excitement, our enthusiasm mounting as our campaign drew to a close. Anne Abell was elected president, Claire Tucker, vice-president, Priscilla Keefer, secretaryg and Mary Grace Ward, treasurer. ' Our advisers and our officers soon devised a sound budget for '42 to follow and then set about ably and enthusiastically to plan the activities which we eagerly hoped would prove us worthy of our place in Eastern.

ct hozfihefbaff Hifi, an cz Wane! lofczyf Wanted: A cure for all cases of headaches due to worldly distress, and heartsicleness caused by constant worryg must give temporary relief from an overdose of homework, have anaesthetic properties to blot out the everyday 'World for at least forty minutes, leave a pleasant taste 'in the mouth, and be prescribed by a reliable physician. It should contain a variety of ingredients and colorful particles. All information concerning such a remedy should be sent at once' to the Eastern High School. A young, up-and-coming physician, eager to make a name for herself, saw in this advertisement a chance to prove her mettle. So the doctor, known to her intimates as Miss 'Sophomore of 1942, set to work in her great laboratory, the stage of Eastern, and, as a result, Six Who Pass While the Lentils Boil was offered to the Eastem world. At this point our physician desires to analyze her prescription. With a swish, the massive green curtains part to disclose a cozy cottage kitchen, where a dutiful child is laboriously stirring a pot of steaming lentils, despite the fact that all the town has gone out to see the queen lose her head. Imagine the delight of the child when the queen seeks a hiding place in his tiny home. A Mime, a milkmaid, a blind man, and, finally, the merciless headsman and his drab device-bearer are all lured by the odor of the lentils to the little cottage, where a ballad singer, a delicate butterfly, and the Ientil boiler combine their strength to detain the bearer of the instru- ment of death until the hour for the separating of the charming head of the queen from her body is past and the danger is over. Beauty, simplicity, and variety combined to make this, 1N942's first dramatic venture, a work of art. Thrilled by Marion Dittmar's lovely voice, amused by the bits of humor which the actors You, You, and You in the audience contributed to the play, the audience gave loud acclaim to a clever play, cleverly acted. So, here in this topsy, turvy world, was born a tonic which measures up to -the highest standards of the Eastern High School-one of which Doctor 1942 and her advisers should be very proud.
