.vi-v24v:1s11n1mx11n11v11v:1n1wr1 THE MELTING POT opoxoioiotoioioicvioioin JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY We are sailing in a spacious ship upon the sea of Life. Right at the present we are sailing through High School Days. It is a long. hard stretch and we are slow, hut sure. This is the thlrd large harbor we have gone speeding through since we set sail on this sea. The tlrst harbor was called Fl'PSlllll6ll. We were very green then, hut we pro- gressed rapidly and when we gallantly sailed into the second port called Sophomore, we were a very polished crew. About every six weeks we encounter a storm with high waves. Some of our crew get scared and jump out on large rocks and wait till the next ship comes along, hut the majority of our crew just buckle down with a grin and hit those report card wares with a one, We never give up and we never get into a rut, because we have found that ruts are worse tlmn graves. 'l'hls year we sailed through the third harbor called Junior, We stopped here and gave a play called 'l'he Family Upstairs. Our Captain.. Miss Hodge, coached us. lt was a howling success aml each one of our crew helped to make it so. With the money we made, we are going to give the ship, that is many miles ahead of us, a hanquet. We are going to send them a cahlegram telling them to drop their anchor until we reach them. We think this will help them as they are passing through the fourth and last harbor called Senior, in High School Days. We have a splendid crew: we shine like the evening stars in everything. For, he who has a purpose has a guiding star. We do not try dying, hut we are going to die trying. Just watch our crew and see. We elected Chester Bishop as man. of honor on our ship this year. Anyone who wishes to visit us, we will welcome them and lead them through the ship that stands for truth, purity, and work. And some day, our crew will hurn their names in history and literature. .lust watch and see! Dorothy Humphrey. '25-l. -v:oioi1v1o:4x:o:o14r1an:oio1ev1 1 Q 2 7 Ioioioioicnicnicnioimrioioinio l22l

Upon awakening in the waste paper basket of the assembly room, he exclaimed to his wide-awake cousin, Jimmy Mouse, Uh where! Uh where have the verdant Freshmen gone? Jimmy Mouse clhnbed to the top of the basket and responded, They are safe in the Sophomore class. Well, well. that certainly seems funny, remarked .Johnnie Mouse. Did you know', resmned Jimmy Mouse, that they elected! Earl Heidleberg for president, Vlyde Killion for vice president, Muriel Keenan for the secretary, and Verna Wasman for treasurer? Yes, they were tlne officers, but they had to call for help from Miss Schenfeldt to hold them down sometimes, because they were the 'peppiest' class ill school. tlne night they had a wiener roast out at Kent Pole-n's, and they ran out of marsh- mallows, but Miss Schenfeldt was smart enough to bring along some extra ones. This wasn't the craziest thing they did, however. On one of the coldest nights last winter, they went out to the golf grounds. sliding. Next day every on.e came to school with red noses, and most of the Freshmen shivered in school for wweeks afterwards. Then they had a Valentine Party. Some of the most green and bashful, proved to be reckless while they were playing 'Wlnk.' Next day, everyone went around saying, 'Gee, wasn't that cake good ?' 'Didn't we have fun with those pennies? Last spring, the 'Freshies' made a pilgrimage to West Park, but to some of those who rode in the so-called 'fresh air tlivvers,' it seemed as though they were crossing the Sahara. But when they got there, the wind had stopped blowing and everyone washed his face. The 'eats' were laid out on the table and- everyone made himself at home. But alas! the lce-cream wasn't there yet, and everybody had to wait. At' the end of the short period, 'Flip' I'hillip's old Ford pulled into camp with the ice-cream. After this had been eaten. they started to play some games. but the rain drove them home. Then after the long, hot wearisome summer of '26 had passed, they all came back just as peppy as ever. For this year they elected Mildred Sandt for president, Orpha Hair for vice president, Leonard Lockett for treasurer, and Verna Wasman for secretary. They had another wiener roast this year at Blaine Lowe's pasture. Some of the boys took some animation with them, I guess they were afraid of 'Injuns.' However, nobody was reported dead next morning. Before the rehearsal of the 'XVorld XVar,' they played some of their old favorites like 'The Flying Dutchman' and 'Too Late for Supperf Un the twenty-ninth of Uctober the Sophomores were given a chance to win the Big Advertising Party. Well they painted the whole town red with advertisements of the 'Great Walter Camp and Dad's Day' game between H. T. H. S. and Chenoa. Then 'came the down'-we w'on by golly, we won! Such a .partygit was a wonder. Mac took the part of the davenport in the serious little drama, 'The Gathering of the Nutsf Then came the 'kid party,' and everyone appeared in his second childhood. They elected Bob Hughes for Honor Student, because of his athletic ability. Bob is a thle fellow and is just the one that the Spohomores wanted to represent the kind of stuff they're made of. Well, Well, they are a great bunch, declared Johnnie Mouse, who had been the interested recipient of this dry history. I always knew they were lnoulded from a good iron and when they leave dear old E. T. H. S., they will leave it a good deal better than they found it.
