The truth may he learned lay wandering down the halls, during class time. to see how they wrinkle their brows over perplexing prohlcms. How confusing shorthand seems to these uninitiated students. Optimistically they tell us that soon they will mas- ter this complex svstem of characters. The typewriter Qhow complicated it seemslj is another mystery. From the com- mercial department, too, come our budding stenographers. The iuniors undergo two compulsory courses, English lll and American History. In English, the third year of literary education ranges over the works ol' American authors. You'll Find the students eagerly reading L'The Crisis or masterfully trying to digest Thanatopsis.

X l xf ' K, I s ' Although the junior class this year has been the smallest we've had since 1930, they have shown wonderful participation in all school activities. For example, under the leadership of Rodney Bosbyshell, president, and Wallace Campbell, vice-president, the juniors presented a very successful Iunior-Freshman Party, Iohnny Clovers Orchestra making an ultra-smooth background for the junior entertainers. Many other juniors are familiar to us all. lirdman Wilson, Lansdowne's actor and comedian, was seen in many of the school's plays and programs. Among the varsity cheerleaders, who led football . il-sw 1 and basketball fans many a time in song, were Lois Obendorfer, the class secretary, ' XJ Mary Kay Evans, treasurer, Phyllis Martin, and Ann McMenamin. Charles Moore and ' f Archie Smith, a stronghold of our football team, were among the first boys from our 3 .' .,..A junior class to leave for the service. Both were given a fine send-05. At the Sadie I, Hawkins Day Leap Year Dance the music was stopped in order to let the dancers Ll ,-rvx honor Charlie Moore's departure for the Navy land also his birthdayj with a song and ' is ' greeting. Archie's homeroom presented him with a farewell gift and a comical tin helmet which they made him wear throughout the little ceremony. Likewise. we mustn't forget the little people behind the scenes. They were the ones who made the plans and decorated the gym lor the dances, the ones who worked in the cafeteria and helped set N the stage for plays. 'C , Nz, It would be impossible to name all the outstanding people in the junior class, but it K 'if is certain t . their success in Lansdowne High has been due to a fine spirit ol' co- ' .1 i '. operation. hope that next year, as seniors, they will be even more of a success.

Comment allez-vous? we hear Miss Hoopes query. Ie vais bien, mercif' comes the swift reply. This double talk comes from some of our third-year friends busily trying to conquer French and its idioms. From across the hall we hear the halting translation of Latin students decoding the ora- tory of Marcus Tullius Cicero. :X few feet away. still more upeand-coming linguists are racking their brains. The ro- mantic Spanish of our southern neighbors intrigues many of the students. Upstairs, the juniors share lab facilities with condescending seniors. Together they mix the powders, boil the acids. and breala fest tubes. VVhat a life! The more niathematically-minded spend their time in one of two ways. Solid geometry wizards often engage in drawing endless triangles. circles, and squares. In Algebra II the inath enthusiasts try to reeall what they learned when they were freshmen. then add a few new tricks. Another year has passed. The juniors now have in their grasp, various smatterings of all sorts of knowledge. These they add to the store collected from two years previous and feel themselves much the wiser. After all, next year they will return as full-fledged seniors. lxvainining a sevtant arc. l.. Lnnlt, t.. Inlin- snn, I . liolli, I. Clotliier. I. Sununy. and C.
