The Sir Walter Raleigh Incident - -- 1934 A dainty young high school miss came upon a nasty big mud puddle. Several Washington lads ambled along and, in various ways, offered to assist her. Jim Ogden, being, of course, the per- fect gentleman, did the conventional thing and threw down his coat. Joe Faltis said he wou1dn't do this be- cause the mud might spoil the perfect cut of his latest example of what the well dressed man should wear. Bob McCaffrie performed a running tackle and landed her safely on the other side. Bernard Kehoe gave an oration on Things We Will Miss In The walk to the Sokol gym Train tracks Soot Grant-Washington games Loitering at the drug store The joy of brow-beating 10 B's The trophy case The long trek to the Annex why the city should appropriate gov- ernment funds for new sewers. Bob Bishop refused to do anything, because Annabel might be jealous. Tom Goodfellow offered to paint a poster to advertise her dilemma. Bob Ringsmuth rendered Rain, Rain Go Away in his breath-taking tenor. Dick Savel used some of his excess wind and dried up the puddle. Nicholas merely picked her up with one long arm, and set her down on the other side. Frank Bates said, If you'll promise not to call me 'Gus', I'll get you out of this some way. The New High Schools Planting the ivy Assemblies at the Paramount Discords from 100 The library stage Lockers that will not open The office girls That swell Washington spirit Farewell, Horak's Goodbye, drug store, that stands across the street Where folks get malted milks and candy sweetg Where always is a lot of smoke and noise, No more will you entice the high school boys Inside your doors to buy their cigar- ettesg No more nice hissing sounds from soda jetsg No more will students come and bang your door Om Hundred Eight Or throw their candy wrappers on the floor, No more will boys all sit around and talk Of grades and games, or stand on your front walk And wait until their women leave the school For which you've always been a pre- cious jewel, And now we'll see the much loved spot no more- But you'l1 go down in legend and folk lore!

In The Spotlight Spotlight Number 1 rests on a good looking lad about school whom you probably know whether you like it or not. It's a not where teachers are concerned. He has himself a swell time all through class by whistling, talking. jumping up and down, pounding on the desks, and even bursting into song if the occasion warrants it. He has one of those cheerful natures that refuses to worry about anything. He dresses well, and is particularly fond of his grey suede shoes. It is only right that Spotlight Num- ber 2 should rest upon a boy who has earned the limelight ever since he has been in high school. Not that he seeks publicity, you understand, but after all, when a fellow is chosen president of his class time after time, when he had the lead in the Senior play, and when he can play a cornet divinely if too often, he can't expect to hide in dusty corners. It may sound impossible, but even the teachers seem to like him, which IS something. We havesdecided to expose the most sarcastic teacher in school with our third spotlight. He has an answer for every economic ill in the country, and he doesn't mind telling you about it. His classes are sort of half-and-half affairs, half the time you are roaring at his remarks, and the other half you are feeling properly inferior before his wis- dom. If you haven't yet guessed who he is, we'l1 let slip one little remark that will identify him immediately. All through class period, he runs around the room like a monkey in a cage, ges- turing wildly. Spotlight Number 4 is particularly welcomed by a certain red-headed little Senior who hopes to have more of them in the future. That is, if she can 'decide whether to be an actress, a playwright, a poet, or even a musician. The one thing she is sure of is that she is am- bitious and loves Garbo. She occasion- ally imitates the latter with a low gut- tural voice and shirts and ties. She has a few choice imitations which she will perform if properly coaxed. We can't decide whether we like her best as a fish or a monkey. Spotlight Number 5 shines on a honey of a person. She is quite lovely to look at, sweet, and comforting to know. The way she manages to drill mathematics into the thickest skull is an art in itself. If you happen to see a bunch of boys around a teacher's desk, you may rest assured that it is hers. Her hair is very white, and her eyes are very blue. She gets our nomination for being one of the grandest persons that ever lived, and we rather think you'll second the motion. A Hard Week The week had gloomily begun For Chuck McKim, a poor man's Sun. He was beset by bills and duns And he had very little Mon. This cash, he said, Won't pay dues I've nothing here but ones and Tues. A bright thought struck him and he said The rich Mary Jane Martin I will Wed. But when he paid his court to her She lisped, but firmly said, No Thur. Alas! he said, then I must dieg His soul went where they say sands Fri. They found his gloves, his coat and hat A coroner upon them Sat. One Hundred Nine
