A Junior Success '1'he juniors leave behind a year filled with both great and small achievements. Following the precedent set by previous junior classes in assuming greater responsibilities, they have come forth just as triumphantly if not more so. Their publication of the school paper was met with great approval both because of its content and of the change to a higher grade of paper than that used previously. The results of the production of the romantic gypsy comedy, “()nce in a Lifetime,” that was chosen as the class play were more than satisfying and the talent displayed speaks promisingly for next year’s dramatics. These chief activity successes rellect splendidly the character of a class that is ready for the senior year’s finishing touches, and another year of school success. Page Seventeen

This year the masculine element predominated in both semesters. The first semester, Dan Mahoney was chosen president; William Parke, vice president, with Elmo Snook as secretary and treasurer. The second semester, Perry Baldwin became president; Santo Paradiso, vice president, and John Testa was elected to the position that takes care of all the superfluous money that’s coming in for the junior-senior banquet. SCHOOL NOTES OF TWELVE YEARS AGO (From here, there, and yonder) Mrs. Ella Dukes was training our letter-men to get their A-B-C’s instead of G’s in those active days. A certain junior boy could tell you that reserved seats (in the corner) came pretty cheap then—but the laugh of the whole class always came at your expense! Those were breathless days for “Liz” Warner—how she would tear after Helen Mae! Anna Lee Mitchell was not yet receiving amorous advances from Joseph Henry. Martha Driskell did a specialized sort of yelling those days at her own bawl-games.

WANTED: One sweet and modest little lady to walk to school with; preferably a brunette.—Rrancis Finkley. Page Sixteen

I|gg! LA CAJA DEL ORO 'Ml '‘- -i:''’•'A-•-•••; Extracts from Travels Among Classes” Situated in the Sea of Sophistication and within close proximity to the Georgetown High School is a small island of some sixty-three inhabitants called the “Land of the Sophs.” The natives of this place are sober individuals with a general eccentricity of manner. The place is under the rule of Miss Georgia Henderson whose severity in enforcing her Geometrical Theories has caused much discontent and uprising among the subjects. Outside of this she is an agreeable personage and seems a little inclined to encourage social activities with another tribe whose chief characteristics are those of excessive giggling and a bright greenness in color. These social affairs or “weiner roasts” as they call them are gatherings at which amazing amounts of frankfurters and an equal abundance of buns are devoured at one sitting. However much of the association is a matter of form since the Sophs have a general contempt for this tribe. Modern to the minute, they hold elections twice a year and it is not unusual to find women elected to the presidential office. At a recent election Kenneth Clark was chosen president taking the place of Stephanie Snyder, the former one, and Richard Neild relinquished his office as vice president to Lena Vettorel. Their physical activities are quite numerous for both sexes. Football, a sport which envolves the practice of kicking a football, is considered to be one of the most popular for boys. Soccer, a modified form of football, is indulged in to a great extent by the girls. Basketball, a favorite indoor sport, is played quite extensively by everyone. A form of Olympics in every sport is sponsored annually, inviting the competition of neighboring tribes for contest. Their course of study along educational lines although well advanced reflects some of their peculiarities. For instance, most of them take a fiendish delight in tearing across the country-side in search of insects. I have seen many of their unhappv victims pinned to their doom in huge collection boxes. An accumulation of fifty is handsomely rewarded with a high grading from their instructor. Others of them spend a great deal of time delving into matters that deal with the antiquity of things and keep loose leaf notebooks containing data thereof. A small and decidedly select group spends many hours investigating the military maneuvers of one, Gaius Julius Caesar. Notwithstanding these eccentricities they are quite a civilized lot and are all making preparations to migrate the first Monday of next September to a “land of greater opportunities.” Page Eighteen
