. ,, THE ROSTRUM 17 historian, Joyce YVoodhuryg student council ineinhers, Maxine Nesbit, Ber- nice Foss. and Malcolm Herring, and alternate, Madeline Knowles. They welcomed into their class three new members, Dorothy Lewis, Kay Lovejoy, and Barbara Fox. In January l noticed that all of the students were heginning to get very nervous. Later l found out that Junior Speaking was soon to take place. The tryouts were held on the 26th and 28th of the month. On March 5th the Junior Speaking was held. Joyce VVood'bury and Evelyn Andrews were tied for first place for the girls. Carroll Trafton came out first and Merle Michaud second for the boys. During the week of March 8th I watched both the boys and the girls come out as winners in the interclass basketball games. For the first time in several years the Juniors did not sponsor the annual Junior Prom. For the third time my dream faded and when it came hack it was in September and again l saw this no- torious class who called themselves Seniors-and were they dignified! Dorothy llanimond and Joanne How- ard joined the class this year. They elected as class officers: President, Car- roll hlooreg vice-president, Carroll Traf- lou: secretary, Loraine Lewis, treasurer, .Xliee XVillcy, historian, Joyce Prescottg student council representatives, Bernice Foss, Maxine Neshit, and Donna Welts. The first great event of the year was the Senior play entitled Good Morning Cloryf' Everyone said it was swell! The elass'pictures were taken the first of De- i'6'lllllG1'. NVhen I left them in dreamland they were patiently waiting for their proofs. Other things of importance which they were looking forward to were the ininstrel show, class trip, Junior Prom, and graduation. I left them, wishing each of them the hest of success in all the years to come. B. Foss.

LITERARY Some of our students, as you know, Often have an inspiration to write, Now we pass on some of their work To you for public sight. POTATO CHIPS Remember the days before the war, when you could go to the nearest grocer and buy any time, any amount of those luscious, crispy, crunchy potato chips? The tired housewife, having returned from a hectic day of shopping, would find she had only ten minutes to get supper. She would send Iohnny to the store and have him get some potato chips. Do you remember how nice they tasted, especially with a salad? Of course they were annoying also. You would decide to go to a thrilling motion picture filled with suspense, tears, and bloodshed. You'd get a good seat where you could see perfectly for fmuch to your delightj the row in front of you would be filled with small chil- dren. The movie would get well under way and the villain would be about to shoot the heroine. The hero would ride up on his white horse and he and the villain -would go into a violent fight. All you could see was the beautiful face of the heroine as, through glycerin tears, she watches them struggle for the gun. A shot would ring out. Suspense would fill the air. You watched intently to see who was dead-who was the victor. The theatre was as still as death and every nerve was tense. Then a slight rustle met your ear and a crunch of teeth broke the silence. Pop! would go the suspense. The mood would be ruined and so would your good humor. Then you were invited to a pot-luck picnic, and everyone was asked to take something for everybody, not letting them know what it was. You would all be sitting around the tablecloth, when you were asked to present your food. As if by magic, every hand was instantly filled with bags of potato chips! Itis lucky someone brought along some water. Remember when you went to the fair to spend all your money? Of course you claimed you wouldnit spend it all, but usually you did. To begin with you would see a stand with lots of those lit- tle cellophane bags just waiting for you to purchase. You stepped right up and bought a dimeis worth. Having downed them you need a drink to quench your thirst. No water was near you so you had to buy some soda pop. Still you were hungry and then ate some more. This performance was repeated many times until finally you had used all your money or it was time to go home. When you sat down to supper it was no use. Your stomach would take no more. At last you went to bed and all night were kept awake by agonizing pains. You sat there wondering why you'd given in to those potato chips and would promise never to do the same thing again. But next year it happened again. If you worked in a store, restaurant, theatre, or other public place, you would hate the things, 'because when it came time to sweep, the floor would be cov- ered with small chips and crumbs of dry potatoes. They were, in reality, the toughest things in the world to get up, for they always stuck to something. How many enemies were made by these seemingly innocent little chips! Joe had just bought some and was walk- ing along the street when jim, being one of Ioeis best friends, rushed up and walked with him. If Ioe didn't offer any chips, Jim would be angry and it would ruin their friendship. On the other hand, if he did offer Iim some, Ioe would think that Jim walked with him in order to get some of the potato chips.
