DRAMA IN FLOWERLAND Dawn had just peeped in over Flowerland; Princess Lily of the Valley sat upon her Buttercup throne; Behind her came her favorite lady in waiting, Blue Eyes. Many thoughts flitted through the Princess ' mind, Yet little did she know of the Snap Dragon ' s plan. He was a fierce, hairy creature, hated and detested by all in Flowerland. The Snap Dragon was in his den of thorns and bushes thinking — How should he attack Flowerland! and hard as he tried, he could not think at once, At last, he decided to kidnap Lily of the Valley and make her his queen. All this seemed quite easy to the villain, but he had forgotten about the prince. The prince was a very handsome Poppy, Deeply in love with Lily of the Valley; But before he could ask her hand He must show her how brave he was, just like a man. His chance was near at hand, For he must show Lily of the Valley that the Snap Dragon he could stand. The sun was just setting over the horizon; The Snap Dragon, weary, was saying to himself as he was nearing Flower- land, On! On! Finally, he got to his destination. Everything was peaceful and quiet. The Snap Dragon crept into the palace which was made of honeysuckle. The Princess ' room was made of a dainty violet. He softly tiptoed to her room; But she heard him and screamed. There followed a hard struggle ; The Snap Dragon was gaining. The only hope for the Princess was to send a message to the Prince, So she tied a note to the wing of a butterfly. In an instant, the message was delivered. The handsome young Poppy Came to the rescue of the Lily of the Valley, And, brandishing his sword, he killed the Snap Dragon. The next day, the Poppy and the Lily of the Valley were married. Andree Bonno, High Seven.

ACTIVITIES DADS ' CLUB SHOW The Dads of Garfield Follies of 1935 was held Friday and Saturday, May 10 and 11 at 8: 15 p. m. It consisted mostly of a review of their pre- vious performances. The stage was set with a chorus of eighteen in the middle and three End Men on either side. The End Men were dressed as darkies and were the main part of the show. The show started with an overture by the Dads ' Club Orchestra, followed by the entire chorus singing Mississippi. A little excitement was added by sending a dummy on a wire from the balcony to the stage. An Egyptian dance was portrayed very beautifully by seven lovely maid- ens. Also an interpretation of Humoresque, with balloons, was done by two charming young girls. Dusky Stevedore, Show Boat, Lazy Bones, Ding, Dong Daddy, Apple Pie, Hindustan, and Song of a Pirate, were divided among the End Men, who were C. K. Bush, H. P. Corley, S. J. Leland, Dr. K. E. Sleeper, W. C. Cunha, and D. S. Andrew Foreman, High Nine. GARFIELD ACTIVITIES OF 1 9 3 5 Garfield School has again distinguished itself during a most success- ful term. Our student body has endeavored to maintain the ideals and up- hold the traditions that were established by our worthy predecessors. Our school spirit continues loyal in spite of our physical handicaps. These are really blessings in disguise, for we have developed judgment in the handling of unforseen situations; we have tested our initiative and our responsibilities ; and we have learned respect for property and the rights of others. No preceding group has shared in our experiences and in the joy of sacrifice for the common good of Garfield. The Garfield Student Association points with pride to the coopera- tion of its members in the tent class-room, in the shifting advisories in the auditorium, in the library, in the cafeteria and, especially, in the tent streets, where student officers have justified the confidence of the Princi- pal, the Counselors, and the Faculty. We are proud of our G. S. A,, of our Honor Society, of our Glee Clubs, our A Capella, our Band and Orchestra, and of our Gleaner an d Tent Talk . Our extra curricular activities: the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, Campfire Girls, Girl Reserves, our Parent Teachers ' Association, and Dads ' Club, are a prominent part in our Junior High School. Appreciation is due: the members of student committees, who worked untiringly and efficiently; the faculty, who made helpful suggestions and gave constructive criticisms; and the G. S. A. for their whole-hearted sup- port of and participation in every program. As we leave Garfield, we do so with regret. May our successor Pre- serve Garfield Traditions, Garfield Standards, and Garfield Spirit! Dallas Noble, High Nine.
