'21 FBI-TIHQF' . . . . In SA-135 we have a citizenship chart. The chart consists of: the pupils' names, scholarship records, honors, and daily marks. Whenever a bad slip comes in, Mr. Olesen puts a check by the pupil's name under the column Daily Marks. In this way, Mr. Olesen knows how to mark us in citizenship. Every morning one pupil is appointed to mark all the courteous and dis- courteous acts that happen in our classes during the previous day. All the pupils are trying to 'be very good citizens. The following members of our class have had one hundred per cent attendance this semester: Pearl Eseltine, Dorothy Rolf, Harry Dingeman, and Ross Sinclair. . The boys of 135 won the swimming champion- ship of the seventh and eighth grades this term. The following boys are on the team: Robert Lait- ner, James McMurray, Billy Tesen, Ross Sin- clair, Harry Dingeman, John Reside, Wilbur Webber, Billy Van Dyke, Howard Crawford, and Lester Satovsky. This is the second year they have won such honor. We all feel very proud of these boys, especially of Robert L-aitner, the team captain. Nine B The Nine B .Circus The EJB party given on April 19 was a most navel and interesting affair. Instead of the usual routine, we had a real circus with a parade, ringmaster, barker, sideshows, balloons, wild ani- mals, and everything. About two hundred and hfty attended the circus, an-d, judging from the laughter and gayety, a 'tgood time was had by all. As one entered the girls' gymnasium, all the familiar sights and sounds of a circus greeted him: tents and stands roped off for the sides-hows, the rings roped of, and the barker, Gordon De Bosky, in his gaudy tie and paste diamond, yell- ing to the audience. The little policeman from 9B-116 kept the audience back of the ropes. ,' -.Iowa - nav - Page Forty-two

.. . 'A L mi? -. - - News of Eight A SA-318 This semester SA-818 has charge of two school publications: the Hanrllmok and The Couch and F'our. The Hzmdbioolc is a guide to the school, used mostly by newcomers. It consists of articles ex- plaining the rules, clubs, and various other things pertaining to the school. Our class was divided into groups, headed by the following editors: Kathryn Straub, Irene Feder, Joseph Gwizdow- ski, Beryl Jacobs, Alice Welton, Donald Patter- son, and Phyllis Whittaker. Leona Parker is editor-in-chief. Under the able supervision of Miss Spaulding, the work will soon be completed and sent to press. We hope that each pupil is planning to buy a copy when it goes on sale next September. Every year Hutchins issues The Coach and Four, a book of poems and prose. Miss Cole, our English teacher, has charge of it. This year, be- cause of our splendid co-operation and class work, we were hono1'ed by being given the oppor- tunity to assist her in the Work. Irene Feder was chosen as editor-in-chief, and her assistant was Jennie Friedman. Here, too, with the Hu.-izclbook, we organized into groups. We sin- cerely hope our work has not been in vain and that all who have bought The Coach cmd Four have enjoyed it. Leona Parker EIGHT A-306 8A-306 has had a very successful semester. At the beginning of the term our home room was changed from 322 to the library. This has given us many opportunities that we did not previously have. A number of our class members have been given a chance on the Library Staff. James Lamp- inan, Robert Zeman, and Dorothy Rosen help regularly, while others help when called upon. Our girls have been quite adept at swimming, winning four out of six swimming meets. The team consisted of: Henrietta Hessel, Mildred Patterson, Virginia Dietzel, Dorothy Smith, and Irene Brosch. Almost thirty pupils from 8A-306 attended the 8A party. As our share of the entertainment, Virginia Dietzel offered a clever reading. 8A-210 Together with 210 we had charge of an assem- bly. Our part in the entertainment was the danc- ing of the Virginia Reel by several 'boys and girls. Our latest project has been a courtesy cam- paign. With the kind assistance of Miss Crump- ton and Mr. Van Camvpen, we have made great strides forward. Our room has been divided into congenial groups and each group is working on its own courtesy project. 8A-214 SA-214 home room officers are president, vice- president, and secretary. Monday morning our home room period was taken up with reading and discussing the notices from the oHice. Tuesday morning we have reports from clubs. Wednesday morning we read our Stars and take care of any left over business. Thursday morning we have class reports and reports on citizenship. Friday we are entertained by volunteers of the class who work out short plays. On Friday Leo Wolf and Harry Bressler initiated the Two Black Crows and three girls gave a radio program. Tardiness in SA-214 has decreased very much this term, a fact of which We are very proud. Rose Canvasser, Esther Kastle, Lee Dallen, Or- ville Johns, Robert Peterson, Jack Schultz, Sey- mour Solomon, and Isabel Mellen have been neither absent nor tardy this term. Phyllis Klewe, Rose Canvasser, Esther Kastle, Isabel Mellen, Phyllis Pasanen and Betty Jane Hickey took part in the 8A tea entertainment given in the auditorium. Jack Schultz, Jimmie Albright, and Phyllis Pasanen were in the Belle Isle Meet. r, qv NE 1 IQCA:-' Page Forty-one

They were fol- lowed by acrobats, fortune tellers, girls on horse- back fbroomsj, clowns, snake charmers, Belinda, the fat lady, real live animals, including Dick Greene's Pond Purp, an alligator, Mrs. Brown's goat, two rabbits, and some pigeons Frank Sar- gent played his accordion and a home-made cal- liope from room 223 brought up the rear There were the usual followers of all circuses: the bal- loon men, nurses, children, and farmers. were entertained by After the parade, we daring feats in the three rings. Mary F-alkauff the Gold Dust Twins pgrformed on the trapeze, fDavid Goldsmith and Jennie Horwitzj did bare- back riding on Cal's Colt and the La-dy Eques- triennes of 118 and 126 did some fancy riding on their broom sticks. Ellen Molter, the leading guest star, did some very fine acrobatic work. The 'Clumsy Clowns of 122 fBill Sloman and Richard Bennettj amused everyone 'by their funny antics in a wheelbarrow, -as did also the policeman and tramp, and the two-headed clown of 116. Gershon Levy made a very handsome ringmaster in his high hat and riding breeches. The sideshows were announced by the barker w.hile the audience followed him around, all being very much amused at the reducing of Belinda, the Hula Hula dancers, Gertrude Levy and Yetta Schwartz, the snake charmer, the juggler, and .a few funny fakes. In true circus style we pa- raded to the cafeteria where we had refresh- ments and even Belinda had all the cake she wanted. The circus was under the direction of Miss MacKenzie, the 9B sponsor, and many a 9B has told her what fun they had at the party.
