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

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

' So crowding into a Chandler which was driven by a little Schaefer they started out. Behind them came Josephine with the Klinks and the clanks of the Leaping Lena. They found the place quite delightful. Sweet Williams grew in great profusion on the Hill-side. The Russell of leaves, the sparkling Shrout in the Brooks, the billowy White clouds, the colorful woodland Hughes, all lent a Holaday spirit to the place. The Fairy Land folk came out to greet them. Some were Moody, others Mary, still others in Ernest, and a few of them Frank. A sight-seeing tour of the city followed. Mother Hubbard, Jack Sprat, Felix, the cat, Billie, the goat, An-na Harry Lyon feasted them quite royally on chile con Carney, Clark bars, and baby Ruths before they started back. Page Nineteen
