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.

'vi-v14nievi4v14:14v34n11w11:1:ri TH E M E LTI NG POT 14x14x:4x14n11n:cv:4a14r1cr:4n:a: THE FIRST ACT OF A FOUR-ACT PLAY lt was in the latter part of September, 1926, that the tlrst act of a brilliant play entitled, High School, was introduced to the public. The tlrst act given the name, I-'reslnnenf' had a cast of fifty-eight characters. The play was directed under the supervision of an experienced coach, Mr. V. U. Mills. The cast chose two of their number to help their director lead them. The two that were chosen were Faye Sartain. the president, and Alice Strayer, secretary and treasurer. The tlrst scene of the play was very successful, being a result ot' an iulportant meeting of the cast. The picturesque scene revealed the grandeur of nature and the accolnplislnnent of man. in the back ground was the high brick wall of a school building. The starlit sky and the beautiful inoon over their heads made the scene more exquisite than words can express. In the foreground was a cheerful are with beaming faces peering through its glowing flames and sparks. The hearts of the actors were light and their shouts fairly rang, echoing through the clear sky. And last of all the wieners and inarslnnallows being roasted there told the audience that it was a very enjoyable wiener roast. The second scene was the revealing of the acconnplislnnents of one of the cast. The hero of the play was introduced to the audience. The hero, Cecil Robbins. won his responsible title by his llllllly llI'l'0lIl1lliShlll9llfS both in working with his fellow actors and actresses and by the active part he took in sports. The third scene of this act entitled, Freslnnen, was one which required much work especially in the arranging of the scene. The picture that greeted the eyes of the audience was a street scene. There were posters in the windows of the business houws and the side walks were painted in large white letters. The beautiful posters in the windows and the lettering on the side walks was the advertising done by the cast to announce to the public a basket ball game that took place in the drama. ln the fourth scene of this act the stage was decorate.l with the most beautiful combination of colors. The walls of the house were draped with rose and gray hanging. llere and there roses had been thrown and this of course also added to the beauty. ln the center of the stage was a large printed sign reading thus, Lend a hand. work wins everything. This not only nmde an attractive stage but it showed that the senti- lnent and choice of the cast we1'e displayed in their colors, flower and llltlffli. -Alice Strayer. 4-isuievzvvieifsiengfievxnxqxtniruz 1 Q 2 7 ini-vioioioioioiozoioioxaviuv l26l
