The Curtain rises. Fl. Due to the fact that my voice is strained from scolding the junior Class, Miss P. will take charge of the meeting today. P. This meeting will please come to order. Today we will do everything in outline form, so be concrete. girls. and stick to facts. E. We must discuss our problem child. the junior Class. Shall we let them have a yearbook? H. To me they are just a school of pollywogs swimming around in a puddle of books, at the mercy of the bigger fish. H. Oh. I think thatfs a lovely joke! E. They are never on the honor roll- C. flnterruptingl Excuse me Sara, but very few take Latin anymore and that proves they are not eager for the higher type of learning. N. But the Yearbook won't be in Latin! I suggest we let them print it in French. M. That's a veddy goot idee. P. VVhat would George Washington do in such a crisis? E. I don't know. This is a mid-Victorian schrml. N. My girls have always been polite to me- C. Nevertheless they are all had in general. and it's possible. but not probable, that they would turn out a good yearbook. N. And We are losing some of our best girls this year. C. Yes. what have the other schools that we havenft? P. fAsidel A good junior Class! Ho. They do seem to be made of very peculiar protoplasm, don't they? L. Maybe if they wore shoes from a good store they would all be better. E. Oh. I forgot. Miss Ludehuehl and Miss Manning may leave the room now. L. Well, I only tried to get in a little advertising. H. Save it for the Yearbook. Perhaps you can give us a page. M. I'll wager Ivanhoe wouldn't have humiliated me like this! CFlxeunt Miss L. and Miss M.l W. To come back to the subject. it seems we're always getting off it. doesn't it girls? Well, anyhow. the juniors have among them very accomplished artists, especially in surrealism. Why don't you let them have a Yearbook in modern drawing? fMiss H. takes out a chocolate bar and begins eating it, offering it to the others around her.l P. lwho didn't get anyl Save your eating for tomorrow recess. G. B. H. Definitely. Mr. Bergen. C. There are four girls. plus a few extras now and then who are constantly brought before Cooperative Council. Do you think they could swing a Yearbook? R. Swing a Yearbook! That's where I come in. QA general titter goes around the room.l P. Did I hear a noise in this room? Ho. If there weren't anybody here to hear it. then there wouldn't be any noise. M. Zat Junior Class. I hate zem all! A few I like. but ze rest, I hate zem alll MCC. That class is like my hardest geometry prob'em. It is so hard to figure out! G Hi C. E. H. P. P. Ho. P. E. Ho. P. There is only one girl I can depend on: she is a jewel. and does all the work for the plays. Attention, ladies. How do we know. as they say. that they can't do it unless we let them try it. We could drag in some hard-working sophomores. you know, and let them carry it. That sounds like good reasoning to me. I move we let them have a try at it. I definitely second the motion. All in favor say Aye, Aye. Then it's agreed. just a minute. I don't think it was unanimous. fAngrilyl Again! All in favor say Aye Aye. We'll leave all further discussion for next week. Well, don't leave it in a warm damp space or itfs apt to become moldy. The meeting is adjourned. fThe Yearbook wonlt be worth anythinglj fThe Curtain fallrj E. D. L. ELLISIAN FIELDS Ezghteen
