vTfje Journal GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL DECEMBER 1921 BUELL CAREY President LOW JUNIORS Just to introduce to you the 3-A ('lass. PRESIDENT Quite adept with a bat is B. Carey, Let us pity the man whom she'll marry; Should he make a home run In the morning ’round one. He must needs be uncommonly wary! VICE-PRESIDENT Next. I beg to present Yriva Drew, Who always gets A’s —yes, it’s true! It proves that she’s nice. For she’s held office twice; And I think she’s just splendid—don’t you SECRETARY There’s also a girl named Ruth Cheese— Oh, her name is too long, if you please! For as I am no bard. And the rhythm is hard. Go ask Ruth and she’ll tell you with ease! TREASURER The one thing that all classes need Is money, to pay for each deed. And a capable lass To collect it en masse, So that’s Carolyn Eshen. Agreed! YELL LEADER Ellie Claybourgh, though mentioned the last, Is far from the least in our cast. She’s so very athletic. It’s truly pathetic. But our love for dear ‘‘Ellie’’ is vast! THE CLASS Now, our classmates in all (though you know it) Are wonderful girls, and they show it; For one cannot gainsay That they’re peppy and gay— Let us hope that they’ll never outgrow it!

What can I do for you this morning?” “We just heard that everyone has been telling you all about her class and we just thought we had better let you know that the High Sophs were all ready with some good information too.” “That's just right. Better fall in line with the rest. “Well, let's see. What is the most interesting activity at Girls High this term?” “Why debating, of course.” “Oh, that's easy. Everybody knows that Ruth Clouse and Angelina Giaca- loni are members of our class, and they’re some debaters, too.” “Yes. that faet sure does speak good for December, '2d. How about athletics?” “On the tennis courts, Adaline Loeb and Bessie Allanberg swing mean rac- quets. In baseball last term we were well represented on the Sophomore nine. Margaret von Husen was captain and second baseman; Helen Imobersteg and Adaline Loeb were at home in the pitcher’s box; Ruth Clouse ever waiting for sizzling grounders to come her way, was a fine little shortstop: Barbara Mayer and Daisy Wong held outfield positions. The rest of the sports all attracted a num- ber of High Sophs.” “Some record! Well, that’s enough for any class to boast of. Keep up the good work.” “Thank you. We shall. So long.” “Good-bye.” Page Eleven

HIGH JUNIORS OFFICERS ... Ruth Wale Eleanor Rossi .... Ruth Cook ... Iva Hollis Electa Thomas President Vice-President. Secretary Yell Leader . Reporter........ RUTH WALK I’resUlent F THERE is a more wonderful, greater, or better actress than Miss Glorious Three-Bee, please show her to me. It was my privilege to interview her after her performance in the phenomenally successful dramatic production, “Girls High Superschool.” She is, of course, that production, and having had some experience with stars, 1 began this way: “I have seen your new play, Miss Three-Bee. You were superb, hut I did not care about the rest of the cast.” (This is a subtle form of flattery that most stars like, but not so Glorious Three-Bee.) She answered generously: “Oh, they do their best. But of course, I am the mainstay of the play. It would close tomorrow if I were not in it.” “Why, Miss Three-Bee,” I cried in amazement, ignoring her last remark, “how unique you are among stars. You have no French accent.” A tear gathered in Miss Three-Bee’s eye and she shook her head sadly. “No,” she confessed, “1 have spent three long years to acquire one, hut it comes not.” The tear fell. “Yes,” she went on, “varied and hard have been my experiences since I worked myself up from playing juvenile in this play. That was three years ago, and after a hard struggle. I succeeded in getting the ‘ingenue’ part which I held for a year amid great difficulty. Then, through the ability of my present man- ager, Miss Ruth Wale. 1 became a star.” “And what d you intend to do next year, Miss Three-Bee?” I asked curiously. “Next year I shall make a series of farewell performances,” she answered, “after which I shall go abroad to try my luck in foreign climes.” “Will not the great play, ‘Girls High Superschool’ suffer without you?” I queried in consternation. “Undoubtedly,” she replied, “you see I unite dignity and ‘pep,’ brains and a vast experience—it would he impossible to replace me. Still,” she frowned slightly, “it may manage to exist without me—but I doubt it.” And thinking of the great talent of this remarkable young lady, I doubted it too! —Bernice Volante. Dec.
