Larry Trempel did it again only more so . Again he took the part of a girl only this time it was as the ‘sleek, chic, estranged wife of the professor, To tcp it all off, he did a strip=tease act, Or so‘we thought until he got down to his masculine attire, When the seniors skipped school (legitimately of course ) on February 5, it started out to be a very drippy day, but the rain couldn't dampen our gpirits. We had lunch together, and included a movie and some skating in our day's activities, While we were skating, some of us decided that the floor was too dusty, so we helped to polish it by falling down once in awhile. Naturally, as in all schools, our cless gave up some of iis meitioers to the armed forces, With price we mention the namcs of Bill Hambrecht, John Osvorn, Robert Camp, Paul Cald» well, Bob Wentworth, Paul Finch, John Spooncr, Elwood Crutcher and Bill Montgonery. Those of our boys who enlisted in tha Navy V-5 prozram were; John Spooner, Jack Cochran, and Harold Greene. , We sent Hslen Marie Albert's name to the D,A.R. as that senior girl whom we considered the best school citizen, This year several new teachers entered our midst. Miss Schmidt in the Home economics department and Mr. and Mrs Brandt in commercial work. ‘ir, Brandt was called by the navy in Novenib ere Mis, our class history, -may be alittle Wallin spots, by I'm sure everyone will remember with pleasant thoughts his life as a member of the class of M4,
