on the program are vocal soloists, Helen Hughes, and Mary Ann Roberts. Helen made her debut at Carnegie Hall several years ago and, now, she and Mary Ann, who is a well- known coloratura, are touring the U.S. to- gether. Mrs. Van Arffington is certainly in the so- ciety limelight. While talking to her, I ob- tained enough news for two pages of scandal. It seems that the nationally famous all-girl orchestra and choir is getting around these days. Several members, Joy Weiss, Freda Ehlenberger, Jane Edwards, Eva Thorson, Myra Nims, Frankie Mitchell, and Betty Gaines have received offers for contracts at the Charles Scnn Studios, Hollywood's larg- est. Some of his famous stars are Leone Bol- ton, Wanda Faulkner, Barbara Sronce, Rus- sell Tobey, Milford Anderson, and Bill Hale, all Academy winners and owners of Oscars. After leaving Mrs. Arffington I once more began my journey to the library. On my way I passed the Van Tress Shoetorium, owned by Jerry Van Tress and under management of Irene Arthur, Norma Winterroth, Bob Bauder, and Wallace Haydon. The building is in the shape of a huge brogue and covers four square city blocks. . Another building of interest that I passed is the Vinson Motor Corporation, the biggest in town. Some of the oldest and newest cars in America may be viewed there. Employees of Andy are required to be college graduates and holders of motor degrees. Some of the few hundred employees are: Manager, Laurel Lund: Sales Chief, Charles Barton, 27 Advertising, Louise Pylesg and bouncers, Beryle Sharp and Bob Phillips. Many lectures are held at the motor company concerning transportation and communication. Such noted lecturers as Dr. Dorothy McChesney, Professor Robert Clark, educators, Frances Jones, Mary Ellen Crom, and Betty Leckie have spoken here before thousands of people. At last, I finally arrived at the library and reaching my destination, I began interview- ing the head librarian who was none other than Delmar Roses. Other librarians in the library are Hiel Roberts, Weldon Uphoff, Del- mar May, Dale Anderson, DeWayne Hous- ton, and Ronald Benthin. It has been ru- mored that the fellows have a gambling es- tablishment behind the stacks. Some of the best sellers and popular books at the library are One Woman, by Leighton Lewis, The Horse and I, by Wade Hutchison and Tips on Sportsmanship, by Leonard Hill. I was surprised to see in the library Miss Elwaine Hawes, a competitor in the newspaper busi- ness. After comparing notes, which was very unethical, we exchanged tips and discussed more scandal. Something that I would never suspect was that Neil Lonsinger, Don Vincent, and Bud Hamilton are starting a new sixty-five thou- sand dollar roller rink, to be located on Third Ave. They plan to be open night and day and to have one of the largest floors in town. Miss Lola Jones, tap dancer, Arthur Day, ma- gician, and Jarvis Haugen, tumbler, and the trio of Margaret Smith, Ruby Snyder, and Eleanor Shaffer are but a few of the attrac- tions to be presented here.

The advisers of the Junior class are Mr. L. Feldman, Miss Doris Smith, Miss H. Johnson, Mrs. Tonkin, Mr. Bradford, and Mr. Nash. On October thirty-first the Junior class sponsored a Hal1owe'en Dance. The pump- kins, cornstalks, and scarecrows made an ap- propriate effect. The decoration was under the direction of Miss Smith and Miss John- son, with the help of Frances Tarrant, Fran- ces Lungo, Lois Riley, Joe Watts, Jack Edgar, and Art Kegler. The music was furnished by the school band.,No admission was charged, but cokes and doughnuts were sold. The moneymaker for the Junior class was the Junior play, Ever Since Eve. The play was a three-act comedy by Florence Ryerson and Colin Clements. The play was cast with Gerald Bjerke as Johnnyg Norma Bolton as Susan: Marian Houglum as Lucybelleg and Bob Davies as Spud. Other characters were: Frances Lungo as Betsey, Sylvia Rogers as Miss Willardg Hugh Davis as Henry Quinng cmdafzfadd. ffdceu I ' :. .,f :. I .,, I j. :li ,,, ... .Q . ,..., T ,..

Helping with production of the play were: Frances Tarrant and Marilyn Heglin as promptersg Doris Parker, properties 3 Mar- vin Marcynzki, lighting, and the Dramatics class, makeup. The play was held on Decem- ber 3 and 4 with an evening performance on December 5. The play brought S175 clear, and by a majority vote of the Junior class they presented S3100 of it to the student body. The remainder of the money was used for the J unior-Senior Prom and the class picnic. The J unior-Senior Prom is an annual event held in honor of the seniors by the juniors. The music was furnished by a name band. The gym was beautifully decorated and everyone had a wonderful time. The dance was formal, with two-thirds of the school participating in it. The Prom was under the direction of the Junior class officers and the Junior class advisers. It took place on May 7. The last activity, but one the juniors looked forward to most, was the class picnic. We hope the juniors next year have as full a year as the juniors this year did.
