Siebcrt Juniors Time: Much too early on Monday morning. Place: Green study hall. Scene: Several girls are talking animatedly about week-end happenings. Miss Benson, our class advisor, tries to restore order. The setting just pictured is that of one of the most important times of the day at Ellis: the period of discussion before opening exercises. VVe see a bcdraggled figure enter the room. It is Clara Blair, well-known for her last minute appear- ances. Now we have our little group all assembled-that is-all except Susie Egan, Claire Fredette, Ginny Byerly, and Carolyn Horney. It's Judge Egan,s time to drive, and his motto is Better safe than sorryf' Here they come, and we are all together DOW. So called order has finally been restored, thanks to Miss Benson. Now we can begin our discussion on the date for the annual Junior Promg on important reforms such as the color of buttons we can wear on our uniformsg or on the big plans we have made for the school year. But come what may, we'll do our best to live up to the name of upperclassmen. l2Sl
