A committee was appointed last year which with the help of Miss Rees, publications’ adviser, selected the staff to put out this year's paper. Winnifred Burd because of two years experience on the staff was chosen editor-in-chief. June Hoth, Mayreen Thornton, Dick Morris, Jean Almy, and Donald Haney, were put in charge of the circulation and advertising. respectively. The rest of the class received various positions on the staff. Jean Almy and Winnifred Burd rep- PURPLE AND WHITE STAFF HRS I ROW : Dick Morris. Frania Nier, Mayreen Thornton.

Pirates Appear in Junior Play The annual junior play, “Captain Applejack” w as successfully put over by members of the class under the supervision of Miss Mack, director of dramatics. Katherine Alabaugh and Kenneth Crum were chosen to play the leading roles. Others of the cast were Virginia Mackey, Yvonne Branham, Donald Haney, Dick Morris, Winnifred Burd, Jean Almy, Russel Bverley, Joseph Gorman, Carl Maffet, and the pirates. The play was given on December 11 and 12 with a very good attendance. Very good talent was shown by the class and much hard work was put forth to make it the success it was. Everyone who saw it liked it since it was so very different from any play ever presented here. It was a kind of Arabian night’s adventure in which a conservative Englishman, who longs for adventure, after experiencing a very vivid dream in which he imagines he is a pirate, decides he has found real romance in his own home. As an assembly program the juniors gave a miscellaneous program of music, readings and stunts on Wednesday, February 5. Dannie Mahoney demonstrated to the audience what a man really wants in a wife, Lois Emory and Alma Spicer accompanied by Erania Nier sang the song “You’ve Got Me Pickin’ Petals off of Daisies” and were assisted in the chorus by Winnifred Burd, Jean Almy, Virginia Mackey and Katherine Becker. Donald Haney presented a wonderful machine which proved capable of giving many people their heart’s desire but failed to stand the strain of testing Raymond Campbell’s brain power.

Headed by Wayne Emory as president, the first semester, and Arthur Gorman, the second semester, they have had quite a successful year. In the first semester five members of the class contributed greatly in making the splendid record that the football squad maintained. They were Joe Androu-ski, Frank Masked, Tony Stropus, Therle Hubbard and Elmo Snook. When the basketball season began, several boys came out. four of whom. Perry Baldwin, John Stimac. Wayne Emory and Santo Paradiso made the first team. Felix Gonsowski made the first ten. These boys should be admired for their sportsmanship and for staying with the team, even when almost everyone else was discouraged. At the end they proved their skill as players. The sophomore girls’ basketball team should be given honorable mention as they won the inter-class championship. Virginia Edmonds and Jean Cunningham also made the girls’ All-star team, Virginia as jumping center and Jean as forward. At the end of the soccer season Elizabeth Warner, I.ois Almy, Rotheen Lyle, Lois Emory, Jean Cunningham and Bertha Jones received G's”. Helen May was given honorable mention. These girls played with others in the preliminary game at the annual Thanksgiving football game. A few of the boys and girls served as officers in clubs. Alma Spicer was sophomore representative, (secretary), in the Girls’ club. John Haworth, Joseph Henry and Helen Morgan held offices in the Latin club. In the Pig club, Francis Binkley was secretary and treasurer, was also among those boys who attended the National Dairy and Poultry show at St. Louis. At the beginning of the school term AnnaLee Mitchell, Lois Almy, Helen Morgan. Joseph Henry and Francis Binkley were chosen as sophomore reporters on the Purple and White staff’. They continued work both semesters with the hope of being elected to higher positions next year. The cast of the 1930 Musical Revue held in the spring, contained a large number of sophomore girls who also belonged to the Girls’ chorus. The following were chosen for the semi-chorus: Elizabeth Warner, Mildred Hinton, Lois Almy, and Emily Lou Haney. The last three served as alternates. The spring speaking contests drew the interest of a good many students both boys and girls. Francis Binkley entered for public speaking, Elizabeth Warner, Mildred Hinton, Nellie Lementavich for humorous declamation. When the decree went forth that each class should give an assembly program, the sophomores with their adviser, Miss Henderson, got busy and marshalled a goodly array of talent. A style show and a song to the faculty proved especially popular. WHO’S WHO IN SOPHOMORE CLASS Heavy weights from the country: Lois Almy, Hazeldell Sandusky. Heavy weights from town: Elizabeth Warner, Olive Snook and Owida Loving. Bashful boys: 'Pony Stropus, Francis Binkley, Robert Lew-man and Joe Andrusky. An old gentleman met Wayne Henry in Danville the other day and said to him, “Young man, call me • .. a taxi. Wayne: “All right you’re a taxi.’’ Alfreida Finney (a freshman) sez: “I have a good joke on Mr. Black. He told us to take English and I already speak it.” l‘a je Sixteen
