The Journal Ruth Knutsen Elizabeth Lippitt HIGH JUNIORS The class of June ’28 has always been wide awake and full of pep. At the be- ginning of the 3B term, it decided to keep up the good work and so elected for its officers the following girls: president, Ruth Knutsen; vice-president, Eleanor Nichols; secretary, Doris Doepfner; treasurer, Virginia Mifka; cheer leader, Dorothy Arnall; assistant cheer leader, Mary Buchanan; sergeant-at-arms, Alice Ferguson; Mirror” reporter, Elizabeth Darling Best. Taking advantage of its first opportunity to present a rally before the Student Body, the 3B class produced the musical comedy, Sailor Maids.” The Rally cast consisted of Janice Elberg, Isabel Louisson, Helen Wright, Dorothy Arnall, Beatrice Caro, Carolyn Hall, Doris Doepfner, Vera Fredrick, and Muriel Rothermel. With Miss Ker as dramatic coach and Mrs. McGlade as musical director, the Rally could not help being a success. On April 21 the Sailor Maids” arrived at G. H. S., and after affording a happy entertainment for all, departed amid general exclamations of pleasure and approval. LOW JUNIORS We, the girls of December ’28, displayed our usual keenness in the election of class officers. Elizabeth Lippitt, president; Frances Coyne, vice-president; Elinor Hoff- man, secretary; and Dorothy Raymond, cheer leader, guided us safely through this semester, while the pen of Maydelle Roberts recorded our actions and furnished the necessary publicity in the Mirror.” The huge success of our concession, Something to Crow About,” which was our stunt on Advertising Day, was an outstanding ex- ample of our accomplishments. Nor were we, by any chance, lacking in dramatic ability. Dorothy Zelich, by her excellent portrayal of the Jester in The Tempest,” won highest honors for comic interpretation in the school’s Shakespearian Contest. [ twenty-two ]
