 Miriam Schmidt stood on a table and told the company how she felt on her big African Hunting trip, when, for the first time, a lion at close quarters winked at her. After several visits from Clifford Lytle who, when asked in 1932 what he was going to be, replied. “A Bootlegger.” In the midst of Miss Schmidt’s speech there appeared two bluecoated officers, namely: Officers Dolby and Patton who for no reason at all took them all for a little ride in a nice big car with ‘‘Police Patrol” written in big letters. The car was driven by Ted Sutton who promptly brought them before Judge Robert Shaffer who promptly took their names but not their bribes and gave them rooms for the remainder of the morning. The Next Morning Elizabeth Montgomery star reporter for the “Search Light”, arrived at the station, looking for a story to help the cub reporter, anxious for a newspaper career, Helen Thompson who for a short time ran a “How To Keep Thin” column until she ran out of formulae and Kathryn Nelson who conducted an “Advice to the Love-Lorn” corner, but she ran out of advice. Meanwhile it was discovered by Miss Elder that her escort and a valuable bracelet had escaped the ride to the Police Station. Also, the sculptor man was missing from the party. Miss Elder soon effected her release by converting some jewels in to ready cash through the help of Olive Blake her housekeeper. She makes known her loss and the search is started for Robinson, who goes with Andrew Kirila to the home of his brother, Paul Kirila a scientific farmer. It is here that Andy does his work modeling pigs and chickens. At the same time, Mr. Paul Kirila has working in his laboratory Miss Jane Breaden an elderly scientist who has devoted her life to the study of rag weed and hopes to convert it into cloth fibre. Paul Robson retired scientist who has an interest in Miss Breaden, scientifically, of course, comes to see her progress, discovers the presence of the Desperate Gigolo, reports to the police, and awaits results. Robinson ascends to tne hay loft, frightening Helen Ruth Wright who was getting milk from contented cows. Police arrive, chase him from one hay mow to another, until he crawls out upon the roof, with the Officers of the law in close pursuit. At the last moment the desperado leaps into space from the top of the barn, to the rocky ravine below.

For three years we have successfully paddled our canoe down the River of Knowledge, and we are now looking forward to a successful navigation of the rapids and cataracts to be encountered in the Senior Year. We Juniors are indeed proud of our class, for it is made up of all the types and kinds of characters and dispositions that go to make up an interesting world. We have been well represented in interscholastic activities and Athletics. We extend our sincere wishes of good luck and happiness to the outgoing Senior Class. We too look forward to winning the first lap of this great race of life. Twenty-five
