THE BLUE AND GOLD THANKSGIVING RHETORICALS Everyone was excited and happy for Thanksgiving was only a few days off. One evening the ,lustamere Club was called together and informed that the members were to put on the rhetoricals. Excitement heightened while happiness waned for nobody cared to do anything extemporaneously for such an occasion. However a few of the most ingenious met and decided to do away with the old custom of plays and utilize some classroom material. No Thanksgiving program is complete without the Presidents Proclamation so Fred Leary was selected to read the message to the student body. Following this the Rainbow Quartet, composed of Rudolph Amsler, Cecil Kuhn, Dick Hosler and Don Corbin, sang several very excellent numbers. Since the Senior ,lustameres had been studying orations Ruth Fuller was selected to present one. She chose for the subject XYe Give Thanks and it was fully agreed upon that it was well handled. Concluding this the Quartet sang another very amusing selection. The next thing on the program proved to be a debate, 'iResolved: That United States Should Cancel the European VVar Debt. The affirmative team was composed of Nelson Rozelle, XVade Knight, Selma Alexander and Frances Holligerg the negative, of Dick Oswald, Betty Brickman. Evelyn Damon and Audrey Barkalow, The discussion was very beneficial since it is on one of the most vital questions of today. VVhile wait- ing for the judge's decision, which proved to be unanimously for the Negative, Dorothy Yerger in costume gave a very entertaining reading, Grandmother's Story. This concluded our shortsnotice program, the success of which was due to Miss Bakers efforts and the cooperation of all the Club members. FRANCES HOLLIGER, 223. SOPHOMORE RHETORICALS The most important event in the course of the past year for the Sophomore Class was the Christmas Rhetoricals. Anticipation of the Christmas Holidays incited the spirit of Christmas and the program was carried out jubilantly in accordance with the season. Laurence Goodman, as chairman, managed very successfully. The first part of the program was given by members of the class who are especially talented along var'ous lines. The program was as follows: Piano Solo ,.........................-..-.........-----,A.. 4-.. ,---------.----------.---A---- 4s, -,----s---'4s.-- A I 3 fy Hllfy Reading ,---A.Y,,,,,. ,,,,,,,.,.,,,.,., ,,,,,,,.,...,,..,.,,,,,,,,,,,,.,.,......

A social event for the Sophomore classes of the preceding years was unheard of. That speaks for itself, doesn t'1t, members of the Class of 25? Everything was splendid especially the eatsg the sizzling hot wemers in fresh buns, crisp sour pickles that made your blood run clold and chills go up and down vour back, delicious home-made doughnuts and the red Juicy apples will not soon be forgotten. The boys played football in the adjoining held, the girls roamed through the woods and all together we had a good time playing three-deep. ' Page Ninety-tour

The memibers of the general committee were Alice Love, Trolla Cramer, Mary XYhalen, Mary Brickman, Rachel Hayward, Martha Haley, Archie Johnston, Earl Fout. Raymond Collingwood and James Parker. The collectors were Mary XN'halen, Martha Haley. Laurence Goodman and James Parker. -MARTHA H., '25 ORCHESTRA PARTY One of the pleasantest social gatherings was held by the High School Orchestra, XVednesday evening, March Zl, at the home of the president, Don Corbin, of East Lin- coln Street. The party was Oriental in its make-up and the guests came dressed in costumes suitable for the occasion. The rooms were beautifully decorated with Japanese lanterns. Miss Genevieve Dunn gave a very fine reading after which games and various amuse- ments took place. One feature of the gayety was a contest which was won by Delite Ebersole. Mary Hilty took first honors in the second contest. The crowning event of the evening was a typical chop suey supper. ' Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Roberts were guests. -DON CORHIN. JUSTAMERE BANQUET The human mind is the most wonderful thing in the world. Hy imagination it ad- vances civilization, and by memory it cherishes the past. Memory brings back most clear- ly those events that make the most impression at the time of occurrence. In the years to come as a Justamere alumnus looks back over his school career, there will be silhouetted against the setting sun of his school days one giant event. That giant will be the justa- mere Banquet at the Elks' Club, April the Third in the year of our Lord Nineteen Hun- dred and Twenty-three. As the artist of his memorv makes the first stroke of the brush he will see before him a gorgeously decorated hall and-O such a feast! The second stroke will create living characters-Iustamcre alumni, teachers, and Justameres. They move: they begin to chat. One rises and seems to be bidding the guests welcome, One slowly advances to the platform and wafts up enchanting strains of music. Soon another does likewise. In the chain of mental pictures he will probably see-yea, even hear through three inter- vening years a sweet piano solo. This chain of remembrances will be superseded by one in which probably ten persons gravely arise and do justice to their training in Effective Speaking. These speakers seem to have much beneficial philosophy which they present just as Daniel W'ebster would have presented it. The speakers Outline the fundamentals of living, discuss fashions? discourse on such technical points of etiquette as Am I Intrudingf' XVhere Do XYL' Go From Here? Such a momentous question to ask and no answer. A Having feasted on such luxuriant reinembrances: his old Justamere interest and curiosity being at its highest pitch it will be a miracle if this alumnus doesn't hunt up his carefully preserved program to dwell once more on that mental feast or to read the names of f1'iends written therein. -XVADE KNIGHT, '23, THE SENIOR COMMERCIAL CLUB BANQUET The members of the 192.3 Senior Commercial Club held their animal entertainment in the form of a banquet on April 27 at the K, of P. hall, Number SS. They had as their guests the Juniors, or the Commercial Club of 'Z-l and the mem- bers of the alumni and faculty that found it possible to be present. The tables were made very attractive with the grey baskets which were filled deep with carnations and roses, thus carrying out the club colors, Also to add to the prettily arranged tables were the tall rose candles which were kept burning all during the deli- cious three-course dinner. Then too. an orchestra supplied music during the dinner hour. Immediately following the banquet an Address of l,VClCO1I16N was given by the club president, Ray Beard, which was answered in the form of a Response by Doris Stall, a member of the Junior Commercial Department. Following this the alumni was repre- sented by a vocal solo sung by Donald Shaffer in his usual pleasing manner. Bert Gunderman gave an interesting sales talk which was quite a surprise and treat for all. Doris Goodman played a piano solo entitled Polonaise Militairreu which all present thoroughly enjoyed. After this, an unusually interesting talk on Associations was given by Mr. C. H. Smith. Miss Dauer represented the faculty when she sang Oh, For Page Ninety-five
