14 G. H. S. SPOTLIGHT JUNIORS v ,Ax CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT-Hackett Sollenberger VICE PRESIDENT-John Davison SECRETARY-Louise Martin TREASURER-Nan Conrad JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Let us take up Mem0ry's mirror and from its ever changing refiections read some- thing of our past High School life. Curiously this mirror gives forth sounds as well as viewsg and a Voice acts as interpreter of the views. The Hrst scene is that of the Main Room of the High School filled with a group of boys and girls. In the front are gathered a group of studious looking if slightly frightened stu- dents. Silence seems golden although there seems a common bond of union. The Voice informs us that this is '33 entering High School. The reflection of a class room next meets our gaze. The room is crowded with students bent over their desks writing vigorously. Now and then a boy or girl looks vacantly into space, sighs and passes on to the next ques- tion. The Voice in a whisper tells us Frosh finals . As this scene fades another takes its place. Again the main room is shown. This time our gaze wanders to the rear. There a general spirit of hilarity is shown. Words are bandied, jokes are cracked and good will prevails. The Voice informs us mournfully, they are Sophomores-their troubles begin . A moment passes and the mirror presents a lively and noisy scene-a group of frolick- ing picnickers. Every face beams with plea.- sure and the greatest enthusiasm is shown. The Voice informs us that, this is the school picnic at which all the classes are present . Let us now lay away the mirror and once more live in the present. The 'beginning of our present Junior year

G. H. S. SPOTLIGHT 15 saw the entrance of twenty-four Washington Township High School students who swelled our ranks to a total of seventy-two in the class. The first social event of our Junior year was a weenie roast and roller skating party at Cold Spring Park. The Halloween party and Alumni dance were other important events. Although these were school affairs the Junior class was well represented and a fine time was reported. The most important event of our Junior year was that of our class play. It Hap- pened in April , as indeed it did, was a suc- cess, artistically and financially. It was an important event to us for we had never in the past participated in such an affair. After three years of study we find our- selves on the verge of our Senior year. Only a few of our past pleasures and trials have been shown, yet a clear view of our life, we hope, can be ascertained. As a class we have always been bound together by the strongest class ties and have always worked together. In conclusion we might add that our unanimous verdict is that diligence and industry will over-come all ob- stacles. Howard Long JUNIOR CLASS PLAY OF '33 The Junior play, It Happened In April , was given at the Gem Theatre on April 20th and 21st. The play was directed by Miss Helen B. Unger. The characters were as follows:- Betty Branson, pretty young owner of the Ferndale Store-Peggy Martin. Susie Crundel, Betty's friend and neigh- bor+Iane Homer. Nell Crundel, Susie's fourteen year old sister-Louise Fitz. Mollie Jessop, cook for the Bransons-- Esther Wallech. Evalina Scroggs, homeliest girl in the vil- lage-Dorothy Mellinger. Charles Atkins, a young visitor in Fern- dale-George Mellinger. Randy Stewart-Charlie's friend who sells insurance-Carl Fisher. Jim Pritchett, a village character with nothing to do in particular-John Davison. Jarvis Sneed, the meanest man in the county and president of the Ferndale Bank- Hackett Sollenberger. Betty Branson, the young owner of the Ferndale Grocery Store, is worried because the Norris Store is trying to buy out her store, and, as she refuses to sell, they are sending a representative to force her. Charles Atkins, the representative, is be- ing sent to Ferndale by his father to keep Lim out of mischief and also to keep up the Norris Store. Randy Stewart, an old college chum, arrives with Charlie. These two men are here for the express purpose of being tamed and this is Betty's job because her mother is away on a visit. When Charlie had found that he was doomed to stay in Ferndale for several months, he wrote to Mrs. Branson for the name and address of the loveliest girl in the village. Betty opened the letter and sent him the name Evalina Scroggs, the homeliest girl in the village. Charlie has a very hard time getting rid of Evalina after he sees her. Jarvis Sneed had swindled the Bransons out of S900 and Charlie finds this out and makes Jarvis turn the money over to him. Jar-- vis returns later and announces that Charlie is the representative of the Norris Company. This greatly moves Betty. When Betty leaves, Charlie tells all of them what he intends t-1 do-to put the Branson store on its feet again and put the Norris store off its feet. So he offers Betty S900 for her store and has her sign a contract of sale to the Norris Company, while in reality she is receiving her own mou- ey and making Charles and Randy her busi- ness agents. Betty is ignorant of all this. It turns out that the Ferndale store is doing twice as much business as the Norris Store and Charles has built a factory and dairy to make Mollie's preserves. Then Jar- vis Sneed tries to arrest Charlie for keeping Betty's money but Charles tells Betty all about his plan, and she is delighted that she still owns her store. Charles proposes to Bet- ty and she accepts him. Just at that moment Randy comes in to introduce Susie as his fu- ture wife and even Jim who has been trying for years to win Millie, gets the fever and proposes to Mollie. 1
