DORIS BAUMBERGER GEORGINA KNIGHT ADA MARSH LO-THREE CLASS The dark and mystic River of GI-RLS-HI still flows over the same course it has followed for countless ages. Upon its warm and sandy banks lies Ancient City of LO-THREE. Down through long decades, this stupendous metropolis has thrived. No one knows whence it sprang. No one knows what strange power had created it to awe the universe. Pharaoh GE-OR-GI-NA of the KN-I-GHT Dynasty rules with an iron hand. 1 he gorgeous Palace JU-NI-OR houses the Pharaoh's imperial helpers; DO RIS BA-UM-BER-GER, who ascends the royal throne when GE-OR-GI-NA leaves it to survey her massive kingdom; A-DA MA-R-SH, w'ho keeps the daily records in hieroglyphics; AL-MA GRACE, who guards the coffers con- taining the immense wealth of LO-THREE; ED ITH HLJR-T-GEN, who keeps the fire of patriotism aflame in the hearts of all loyal LO-THREEANS; and SO PHIE PRES-COT-T, representative of Pharaoh’s people. In the shadow of the age-old pyramids, the world-famed JU-NI-OR RA-LLY was enacted and passed into history. This w'as such a glorious success that even the Sphinx, w'hose inscrutable countenance has regarded the desert solitudes for centuries, parted its stone lips to add to its praise.

MARY JANE THOMSON TATINA UROFF OLGA DUFF HIGH THREE CLASS Thu yearly Festival of the Dragon is about to be held in ancient China. There it is believed that a great dragon rules over the heavenly bodies and that the only way to keep this monster from becoming enraged is to hold an annual ceremony in his honor. The Empress Tatina Uroff, with her subjects, the Hi Threes, has come to the temple to appease the wrath of the dragon, Indifference,” in order that he will not swallow the star, High Three Spirit.” First the Empress, with her assistant, Mary Jane Thomson, gives aid and advice as her offering; the treas- urer, Helen Stich, places money as her gift as the feet of Indifference.” The Cheer Leader, Alice Baumgartner, chants the song, The Green and White,” for High Three Spirit;” the secretary, Olga Duff, presents a written plea as her contribution. But most important of all, the High Three Class lends its support to High Three Spirit.” In the grove surrounding the temple, Empress Tatina will also preside at a rally Seaward Ho,” and at a play called The Trysting Place,” both sacred rites given for the rescue of their favorite planet. When they have been assured that High Three Spirit, the guiding light of the High Juniors, will never perish, the Empress and her faithful subjects will turn their attention to other important affairs of state.

HELEN SKL1RIS CAROL FRANK JANICE JAMES HIGH TWO CLASS IN the Bavarian village of Oberammergau, near Munich, Gretchen and Gretl were watching a rehearsal of the famous Passion Play. Suddenly the loud throb of motors was heard, and the two girls rushed into the open just in time to see a packet drop from one of the gondolas of the Graf Zeppelin.” On the canvas cover, the words Oberammergau Mail” were clearly printed. Seizing the packet, Gretchen and Gretl ran to the postmaster, who opened the case and extracted a letter which came from Girls High School, San Fran- cisco and which read as follows: Dear Gretchen, I received the message which you wrote to the International Club, and I am as interested in Oberammergau as you are in the High Two Class of the Girls High School, San Francisco. While you are rehearsing the Passion Play, the High Two Class is pre- senting, in an Inter-class Play Contest, None Too Good for Dodo,” a play which is causing favorable comment throughout the school. Our class surpasses all others in initiative and in scholarship. The High Two Class shows a splendid co-operative spirit in all club activities. The president, Carol Frank; vice-president, Helen Skliris; treasurer, Frances Duffy; and cheer leader, Athy McCarley, are very anxious to write to girls in Germany about Girls High School and its splendid Student Body. Sincerely, Janice James, Secretary Beverly Hoffman, June ’33. 21
