A DILEMMA John Senior was in a quandry. The English teacher had reminded the class that book reports were due the next day, and the superintendent had asked the Seniors to introduce the Freshmen to the rest of the school and get them acclimated to their surroundings, so it was that John Senior sat in the study hall and day dreamed of his two tasks. His mind was running in the two channels, books and Freshmen. When he decided to go to the library and get a book to read, he would remember his other duty. This was a very bad predicament to be in, and not knowing the answer to his dilemma. John proceeded to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each assignment before he came to any definite decision. To himself John first said, ‘Til get a peppy book to read and have some fun reading it. But. maybe it would be more fun to show some of those peppy Freshmen around J. H. S.” So, for several minutes, John debated with himself. Which shall it be? The more he thought, the more each book resembled some Freshman, and as he noticed the following titles, temporarily the two duties seemed fused. • ir I Were King .............I’. Rettehler “Nimble Legs”...............c. J. schoeller ••WhlrllRlRs’ ................E. Blenrang “Lively Lady ..................... M. Miller The Lire of the Party .........K. Iliehards Not being able to decide between the preceding articles of pep, John turned his thoughts to the light charming books which in turn reminded him of the Freshmen girls who. this year, he felt were charming specimens and fine models of American girlhood. These books almost sent John out of the study hall to seek some of the girls whom they recalled to his mind. What of: . M. Hcnnen It. Hernday .. M. Sayre Schultz Seifert She Stoops to Conquer .......I . DlckholT Gallant Lady .............. Forever Free ..................D. hlekow Personality Preferred’’... The Dark Flower ................S. Miller With Malice Toward Non Charm” .....................It. Ehlenfeldt Gentlemen Prefer Blonde ”.. ... Invitation to the Waltz ........ML llcger Dorothy Magic Music’’..................M. Braun Sun Up”............................It To Have and To Hold ............. L. Henry Although the light books and charming Freshmen girls almost succeeded in drawing out our friend, John, from his day dreaming, it was not completely accomplished. He still had his book report to complete, so he finally decided to read a small one. Such books always appear attractive, but then the superintendent’s request brought to mind the small but ever-active Freshmen. The small books and their Freshmen counterparts included: Still Jim .....................J. Barrett Brin ’Km Back Alive ............ The Little Minister ............E Bartd “Circus Day .....................It. All is Fair ....................It. Grinin Such Is Lire”................... “So Blir ..........................D. llaas Freshmen athletes or a good book on athletics It. Ileger llilenfeld E Itueth which should John choose? “Winning Out .................J. Wollet Captain or the Team ................it. Serns Half Back ..................C. Smlllie ‘‘For the Good «»r the Team .W. MarkgrafT Of course, there are always those books that are full of fun. just as there are those Freshmen who are full of mischief. How could he choose between: “Laughing Boy”................C. Strese Whirlwind”......................M. Seitz Adventure Waits”.............II. statz Why Go to College?”........ . Plymesser Whenever a Freshman class enters school, there are always some students who become outstanding for their effort and success in various fields. They reminded John of many books which were certainly well worth noting. These included: Year »r Promise”.........M. Lembrlch Girl and Her Future .....it. Daharelner • Majric World of Music”.....M. Kinzler “Honor Girl”......................... j Klujr Everyone likes to read a gayly colored book or one with an interesting title, so, true to form, John though of Freshmen who were also gay and interesting. There were: S So Bed The Bose”............B. Murray “In the Days or Poor Richard”............. White Pants Willie”...........It. Probst Bichard Biederinan Hair a Loar”...................A. Badtke “Enter Sir John j. Borchardt “Son of Power .............It. Boplnskl W’ith only about ten minutes of the period left in which to decide whether he should read a book or introduce the Freshmen, John decided in favor of his English assignment and returned to the library to look again at the books and find one to read. However, upon reaching the library, his guilty conscience made him think of Mr. Smith’s request. With each title he read, he would remember his duties to the Class of 1941. He noted the following titles which reminded him of the following students: “Oulet Place ...................E. Meyer “A Son or the Middle Border”. .J McGurk Man of the Ajres .......Balph Biederinan Sportlnjr Chance ..............if. Gross Aire of Innocence”............A. llorrman The Squire”..................M. Koeppel As You Like It ..............M. Mallwttz “Up The Ladder of Gold . . . . N. Blodgett The Silent Witness”.................... ...............Margaret Moldenhauer “A Line A Day .............Doris Schultz “Three Points of Honor .........J. Vogel Having read all these titles and remembered all these Freshmen. John finallv decided that he would take five books and five Freshmen and then make the final decision. Thus the books and students selected were: Gone With The Wind ...........F. Stelse “Golden Age .......Mildred Moldenhauer Walk Humbly .................II. Schultz Saturday’s Child .............c. Vogel “The Conqueror .............G. Schultz Much to his dismay, John heard the class bell ring and knew the period had ended. Whether he came to a decision, we cannot tell, but wre can all draw our own conclusions. What would yours be? PAGE TWENTY
