THE JUNIOR BOOKSHELF When it concerns sixty-eight entertaining characters, one would expect the story to be a particularly interesting narration. The story of the Junior Class is just that! Owing to the numerous incidents, equally varied and exciting, it has been necessary to write them in separate volumes and arrange them in an orderly row on our bookshelf. The first volume entitled, “True Life Stories of Famous People”, relates the sensational happenings in the life of our President. R. Krusing, the heart-throbbing, heart-breaking romances of K. Sems, Vice President. J. Rentmeester, Secretary J. Feind, Treasurer, B. Bullwinkel and P. Seifert, student counselors, in which the newly purchased class rings seem to get deeply involved in a universal “exchange.” The next volume labeled Extra” devotes itself to extra curricular activities. It begins with a review of the Junior Class Play. Seventeen”, in which chief credit was given to the excellent “Baby-talk-lady”, E. Offner. and to R. Miller for his great characterization of “ickle boy Baxter”. Reading the book will acquaint you with the rest of the cast including: M. Houghton. M. Schultz. J. Feind, T. Griffin. E. Luedtke, R. Foskett. R. Krusing. J. Hebbe, R. Shakshesky, E. Waterbury. J. Rentmeester, and M. Doebereiner. The second half is given over to debate in which B. Jungkuntz, B. Bullwinkel, E. OfTner. J. Feind, M. Schultz, and J. Rentmeester were the chief “wordbattlers”. A good description of the heroic efforts of the Declamatory and Oratory participants, R. Miller, D. Moen, J. Feind. J. Northey, and P. Schlagenhauf, is also given. The third volume is titled “Discords on the Harpsichord.” It tells of the juniors' dealing with music. Many members of the class lend their cultured, uncultured, and ever-changing voices to vocalizing in the Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Clubs while others are active participants in the Orchestra and Band. The Junior Band is indeed fortunate in having the famous Maestro, Wiennie” Sell as assistant conductor. The volume named Wim. Wigor, and Witality” deals with athletics in which the Juniors dispel, the three W’s” in generous portions. In basketball and football. R. Wagner. R. Foskett, R. Krusing. and L. Vogel seemed to be our best bets. In class basketball, the team composed of E. Schmidt, R. Foskett. R. Krumsee, W. Popp, E. Waterbury, L. Roessler, and T. Griffin made a fine showing. The girls also engaged in competitive sports of vigorus and semi-vigorous nature. In hockey, the junior girls were well on the way to a championship when the final game was called off an account of snow The last and most colorful, most sparklingly worded books tells of the Junior Prom, made a success because of the able supervision of Miss Rankin. It describes the artisic decorations, enchanting music, and the stately Grand March led by their Majesties”. P. Seifert and M. Hernday. If these volumes have left you with the feeling that you want to hear more about these same characters, the next installment will be found next year on our Senior Bookshelf.
