SYNOPSIS fftlllllillllflf from Page ZSJ day, and later in the Lowther Junior High auditorium fox the public. Royalty was entertained at the G. R. sponsored Sweet- heart Dance February ll, at the junior High gym. After a Grand March, Their Mlajestiesf' Phyllis Jensen and Buddy Getz were seated on a heart shaped throne, given silver crowns and invited to enjoy tap dancing and music befitting a king and queen, The Raggeds', and Ruggeds, teams made up of G. R. committees, battled for a month to see which group could finish rag rugs first. Clean rags were brought by the girls, braided and sewed together, and donated to Wiinter General Hospital in Topeka. Huge pyramids of paper and magazines, and boys and girls in coveralls and jeans meant more scrap paper was being collected for Uncle Sam. The drive was carried on during the weeks of February 14-24 and students were excused from their study halls to hustle around on foot and in trucks and cars to bring back giant bundles and carloads of boxes, cardboard and whatnot ftrophies found amongst the paper included baby shoes, wedding tintypes, and a corsetj. The paper drive was a walloping success, bringing in a total of almost thirty-four tons of scrap paper. A clever skit enacted by the Service committee won the prize for the best song at the Girl Reserve songfest. The prize was an autographable white g0Q1t. Each com- mittee sang one song, many familiar tunes were changed into clever G. R. songs by the girls. Miss Charlotte Curry took over Floyd McCune's five social studies classes for the remainder of the semester. Mostly during school time for two weeks the junior- senior boys took tests to prepare them for the Army pre- induction tests. The tests included vocational aptitude, mechanical aptitude, math, Fnglish, history, citizenship. reading and science. Boys who found they needed more work on any of these subjects were given opportunity to join classes and receive special help. Ormond R. Parker, director of the band and orches- tra departments, received his call to report for boot train- ing the first of April. In his ten years at Emporia High, Mr. Parker saw many changes. Five thousand dollars worth of instruments, 76 black and red uniforms and 4 white ones were purchased. During eight summers Mr. Parker taught band and orchestra in a summer course. Parties were given for Mr. Parker by the faculty of junior and senior high, by the Fmporia City Band, and by the senior high band and orchestra. March 51 the Emporia Travelers' club sponsored the WIBW round-up show and dance in the Civic Auditorium to help raise money for the teen-age center. Youth of Fmporia were given the privilege and responsibility of planning the organization and government of the teen town and making and enforcing the rules. Thirteen Senior High school teachers and janitors and a few eighteen-year-old seniors gave blood at the Red Cross mobile unit. Now came the hilarious Senior Assembly, the memor- able Senior Banquet and the romantic junior-Senior Prom which need not be written down to be remembered. just one week more of school, four-days-then Bac- calaureate, and finally, after twelve years of fun and study, paper wads and history exams, grade cards fund one or two seventh hours!j-the commencement exercises. And so down came the last curtain on a jolly, successful school year-1944. CURTAIN CALL! Carl Knouse and Freda Ames were crowned King and Queen of Popularity at the Final Fling, the last all- school party of the year. Their attendants were Ruth Granger, Phyllis Taylor, Challa Ireland, Bob Donnellan, Morgan Kramm, and john Edward Rees. The party, May 12, was sponsored by the Girl Reserves. The end. i261 -wwatsaa,
