to Miss Stewart's tireless war against cliques and, in doing so, have become a hap- pier and more productive group. Even so, we tremble for the next year, when we will be tenth graders. As brand new sophomores, sitting in humble awe of Mr. Stolper's oratory and Mr. Farmer's inexhaustible reserve of facts, we realize that last spring's trembling was more than justified. Our frantic searches for the all too rare references on Norwegian history frustrate us early in the year, and the class treasury is soon reported to be in the red. WHasn't anyone seen Shepherd's Atlas lately?W After a rather jerky start, we finally settle down to the serious business of producing Macbeth. Martha Jean, in her plunging neckline, modelsthe future stylesg Allan and beard become synonymous with Macbeth, while Macduff clanks around in a coat of mail. WLay on, Macduff!W Underthe Harvest Moon, we shyly make our first senior high love and romantical- ly discuss the frog which we have recently dissected in biology class. In the day- light hours, though, we reincarnate Janice and Geoffrey, brain-ch1ldrencd'our unique core-course instructors, andwe prove our great ability to depict seventeenth century English life. According to Peter, it was just one dark stormy night after another. Our lives are becoming more and more hectic. Pat Simon is carried limp from coed gym with a broken leg, an there are only five months leftto write our Fascist- Freeman Callas L'ALlegro and IL Penserosol poems. Miss Russell's mathematicsclass is WHeaven Sent' when Jean douses an unsuspecting classmate with a five-dollar bottle of perfume. Miss Muller confounds us all when she Wgoes to the movies when the stars are outn fconverselyj with every boy in the class. Meanwhile, the girls scratch and and squabble over dates for the Girls' Drag. Margy understudies the lead in the all-school production High and Wide, Jon pounds away on 'de bigga bass druma', and the entire class records for posterity on unbreakable records. We are beginning to wonder what the D.C.F.M.0. had last year that it doesn't have this year, for, now that we don't have to sneak in illegally, we have lost a good deal of interest in its Saturday night functions. Three members of the biology class finally succeed in hatching one lonely chick and proudly name it April. To their dismay, April turns out to be a mere rooster, but Mr. Mitchell manages to bear the blow like a true scientist and sends birthday cards as compen- sation to each and every member of the class. Class meetings are really exciting nowadays. We are still revising our class constitution because, as Ernest says, WThere is no provisionary clause for the ad- journment of confabulations at which the necessary quorum for the passing of motions has temporarily absented itself.W Meanwhile, Mr. Stolper is graciously handing out lollipops to the winning editors of those infamous Whig and Tory journals, The Scar- let Sentinel and Freedom's Forge. Caroland Jean coordinate under a horse at the fash- ion show, one of our many class parties at which the electricity is undependable. Speaking of horses, Dark Horse Bilby emerges victorious in the vice-presiden- tial elections and thereby assumes the terrible responsibility of student-run study halls. The Fascist-Freeman poems are finally due and many sophomore parents, with Roget ' s Thesaurus at one hand, a rhyming diction- ary at the other, and a groggy child in the center, are burning the midnight oil. John Milton had five years to write his poems! But we finally entrust our work to the capable handsof'Stolper and Co., Ltd., and skip happily off to the annual field meet, where it rains as usual, and our orange and blue streamers run.
