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 ]

The Journal Iva Schilling Mildred Rignell HIGH SOPHOMORES All things come to the other fellow if you sit down and wait.” Isn’t it true? Well, the 2B’s think so. That’s why they have exerted their energy in the following ways. Two 2B Volley Ball Teams have been managed by Elizabeth Bigham. The Debating Team tied with the low-sophomores in the final decision of the Inter-class Debates. The second best lower-division speaker in the Individual Speaking Contest was Mildred Woloski. Virginia Peterson was one of the three lower-class girls who took part in the upper-class Dramatic Club plays. Then—the 2B stunt, Fifty-seven Varieties,” on G. H. S. Advertising Day scored one of the biggest hits of the day. But—why not, when the class officers, Iva Schilling, president; Ruth Harvard, vice- president; Blanche Kubicek, secretary; Elaine Walker, cheer leader; and Jane Knight, Mirror” reporter, combined to make the semester a success? LOW SOPHOMORES Activity is the spice of life.” This the 2A’s believe. The minutes of that class, therefore, record enviable successes. To start the term off right, these competent officers were elected: Mildred Rignell, president; Eleanor Child, vice-president; Rhoda Horn, secretary; Marion Pauson, cheer leader; and Dorothy Blum, Mirror” reporter. A class dance was the first event, which proved characteristically successful. Then came the Individual Speaking Contest, and Max Leona Anderson carried off the winning lower-division cup. In the Shakespearian contest, Gertrude Chemmick was in the finals. In the upper class plays, Janet Dickoff and Max Leona Anderson won merit. If you wish to hear some fine oratory, listen to the 2A Debating Team com- posed of Max Leona Anderson, Barbara Prince, Marie Eshen, Eleanor Morris, and Helen Olsen. As a final proof of activity personified, harken to this fact. By securing a greater number of subscriptions to the Mirror,” the 2A’s captured the Juniors seats in the auditorium. [ twenty-three ]
