He was over to call on my daugh- ter last nite. - Ted Bulleit walked Byrle MacPherson to school. Beware! Ted,', McCullough is looking for you. Both Dale Pitzer and Bo Taughinbaugh decided to sport a 'iCharlie Chaplinv. Give us a break, who's the girl? Eddie Klinefelter came to school with one hair out of place.

Q EHHHUH-HID Q Vacations, however, have a peculiar way of passing too quickly, so after what seemed a short time, we were back on the job as Jolly Juniors, upper- classmen at last. Soon after the reopening of school all classes gently turn to thoughts of elections. Our class was no exception. Xve held a class meeting and re- elected Edward Bulleit as President, Beatrice-Heck as Vice-President, and Edith lVlcCleaf as Secretary. Donald Lflrich was elected Treasurer, the guardian of the class funds. This important matter over, we turned our attention to other duties even more important flessons, for examplel. Qur part in school activities grew greater and greater. Juniors were represented in almost every affair. We figured prominently in all sports and in the plays presented. In February, Marion Miller was appointed to take over the duties of editor-in-chief of the Maroon and White. We were given control of the paper, and feel we did as well, or even better than, former managers. We have now come to the last year. We are dignified Seniors who look upon Freshmen and Sophomores as mere children. We feel grown up, and old-Mr. Thomas, who became our class advisor in our Junior year, has helped us greatly in going as far as we have gone. We elected officers for the last time in high school when we chose: Donald Swope .............,................................................... .. ...... .. ............, President Marion Miller ....... ......... V ice-President Beatrice Heck. ......... ....... ....... ........... S e c retary Donald Ulrich .......,................,..,.......,...................... .. ........................... Treasurer The first big event of the term was the magazine sales contest, a horse race between the Reds and the Blues. The race was won by the Blues, who were treated to a card party by the Reds in honor of their victory. The Hallowe'en dance was a big success. The other classes were in- vited, and a good time was had by all . The orchestra was splendid, and the decorations and refreshments a thing to be long remembered. Seniors took prominent parts in Skidding , the athletic play. They also formed the basis of most of the teams, and distinguished themselves in many ways. Honor Brightv, with Donald Swope and Marion Miller as hero and heroine, was one of the best Senior plays given in this school. The cast contained fifteen main characters, and there were two choruses. Now as it is all over, and Washington and Commencement are things of the past, we are a little sorry to leave High School, and as we think back over the four years spent here, we decide they weren't such bad days as we sometimes thought. h Twenty
