A certain m 'er f the senior class with an e ee lngly dry sense of humor an- s ered, Moving There's nothing like coincidences! Th fth hour dramatics class was reading a pIa.y, Gettysburg, and was becoming quite enthralled with the booming cannons and the stirr- ing account of the Civil War' days, when there came to interrupt their thoughts a loud blast which might ave done credit to the battle of Gettysburg. But alas, 'twas only C. W. A. workers blasting the north wall of the gym. Mr. Edmond Dailey gave tests now and then. There was no special rea- son for them. except. perhaps, to prevent his young history students from dying from boredom. He learn- ed a. lot of things he hadn't been told by his college professors. Such as-a serf is water near the shore: a siege is a narrow body of land or waterg the ruler of the English Com- monwealth was Hitler. and the leader of the Protestant Revolt was Pope. The Easter style rules-oh, no! The journalism style rules were the bane of many a cub reporters existence. Do you use a comma be- foer the and in a series? Is senior capitalized? fEdltor's Note: Senior should be capitalized and the other classes left out altogether! Many a budding journalist pondered over the correct Iix Representative group of scholars? -- way to write a 6-pound fish and the proper punctuation of quotations cauted a superfluous growth of grey- hair on the head of harrassed edi- tors. Professor H. R. Callahan may not have been very original when he said. I'll now illustrate what I have in mind. as he erased the black- board. According to reports and cer- tain evidence displayed, the implied state of mind was sad, but true. However, I-I. R. was run a close second by some of the young scient- ists in his care. For instance, one immature intellectual inferred that people having eyes capable of seeing infra-red rays had had a little too much to drink first. Another master mind answered, 'nYes, when the ice melted, in answer to the query whether it were possible to get off a prrfectly frictionless pond of ice. Through approximate computation, Mr. Carrol Ward may have had the strongest and funniest answers given to his queries. He was probably quoted in the chatter column of the Blue Jay the most times. This genial maestro nearly threatened to use force when explaining some phrase of bookkeeping to an earnest listener. 'Tm afraid we're going to have to blast to get it through, he wearily declared. 'Tm 'getting tired of being the goat all of the time. Miss Ethel Hinds complained after she had broken into print via the chatter ceulmn five times in one issue of the Blue Jay. Be that as it may, she did accuse a masculine member of the second hour dramatics class of preferring his lipstick second hand. In addition, when asked if hell were capitalized. sh-e answered ve- hemently, I-Iell? No! Between laughs, more or less- probably l-ess-studying was done and a. few things learned. It's a great life if you don't weaken. -T-T-If FT-T-T-T--TT-T17-T-T?-T '-T-T-Tire?-'T-TFT JUNIORS , i.

14 Elfiofn - 'iilllnfn Oh, those happy days as freshmen! Oh, those happy, childhood days wh-:n we were freshmen. Here they are. folks. the departing seniors, who at the time these pic- tures were taken, were just embark- ing in all their ignorance and bliss upon the turbulent sea of high school days. Do you recognize any of them? There are quite a few whose coun- tenances justify recognition or un- controllable laughter. However, we won't discriminate betw-een the two sentiments which their blooming young' faces arouse. In the top picture there is Don Shane and Artie O'Donnell, stand- ing next to Josephine Peterson in the front row. Oh, to be a child once more. See Betty Wilson grinning coquett- tishly around the side of Don Shane's right ear? Notice the wind-blown bob and compare it with Betty's present tresses. Then take a squint at Shorty lX'!'cKellar and Red Riley of future bfsketball and gridiron fame. Aren't they sweet? And now to take a look at the lower picture. That little tow-headed fellow in knickers and a polo shirt is none other than Burton Andrus. Time changeth all! There's Johnnie Grentner, Bob- bie Freeman, and Henry Barker in the middle of the front row. Little did they realize when this picture was being' tak-en that they would be competing for a Summerfield scholaii-1 ship within the next four years. Five rows back on the left end of the row is a demure maid with hofn- rimmed glasses. Cute, isn't she? She answered even then to the name of Margaret Collins. Oh! There's Barbara Humphrey second from the right end in the fifth row. Don't try to control your- self. You won't be able to. t Embarking in ignorance and bliss --

Th 11 in the second row who looks a though she were about to wink a some unsuspecting male is ia Martin. You know, that girl 10 dances and draws pictures, She does draw the most entrancing, stylishly dressed, young debutatites- or whatever they are. Maybe you'd better ask her. Alverta Marston, another budding young artist, went along on that all- eventful trip to the Girl Reserve conference at Minneapolis. She didn't have to go back to nature and stay on a farm as four of the eager dele- gates did and so obtained more of her beauty sleep. Perhaps that ac- counts for her blooming look. That Greek god with curly hair in the back row is a farmer! Would you believe lt? He usually rides to school in a new Plymouth. and seldom is he seen without a bevy of as th? nti l feeling fairer sex with love it? Does a cat Does a girl like to be shiny, new car with a blond? of these Jayhawks flapped wings and flew into the junior The Thr-ee Graeesf' They classified as dancing couples. did anyone ever see them dance? It must have been kept a secret. And there's Maxine Fischer in the second row. Look at her hard. Sh-e's some whiz on the basketball court. She's all over the place with legs ouztftretcffed, arms Ilyfhig. and her famous hair streaming' forth from her head. Ceila Ellen Miller, standing there in the second row, was reported to have been seen accompanied by a certain scholarly young gentleman of the senior class. Dame 'Rumor never did tell us the outcome, however. G'ara Dalquet acted as office girl to Mrs. Gledys Sheoardson several hcurs each week. She Uassed a bas- ketball around considerably and is noted for her quick, ready smile. Any number of girls has envied llfaxine Romesburg her naturally curly. light brown hair. She doesn't heve to be bothered with perman- ents marcels, etc. She may be small, but she's miehty. Evelyn Ray looks as though she might be an eighth grader. but she fooled you and is a junior. She's another of these fortunate girls with naturally curly hair. She and Maxine are great chums. Marjorie Bowles and Margaret Moor-e are inseparable. They're even standing together in the last row of this picture. When Margaret gets her car, they fairly tear around town. Mary H-eid-el worked in the office, too. She's really very competent. She has the most attractive freckles and that's no fooling, either.
