IN NAME ONLY School days, school days Dear old golden-rule days, Readin' and writin' and 'rithmetic Taught to the tune of the hickory stick- We younger sprouts in the Meyersdale brain factory Qas Bill james calls itj feel it our bound'n duty to give voice to our common wish-we want to belong, We are the little junior highs. We breathe the same air as the M. H. S. We are interested in the same things. We have some of the same teachers. We use the same rooms- but, we are still just the seventh and eighth graders. We believe that we could be a real junior high school of seventh, eighth, and ninth grades-an addition to the senior high school of tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. Other nearby schools have reached this goal and are enjoying its advantages. Besides mathematics, social studies, science, and English fall of which we now havej we should be able to enjoy home economics, shop work, art, and physical education. We feel as Lincoln did one time-that the time for debate is past. We want to really belong. We want to be an actual Meyersdale junior High School. This year our Gray-Y Club was under the direction of two seniors, Dorothea Hilner and Eloise Englehart, and two juniors, Elaine Speicher, and Betty Floto. We are a junior branch of the Alpha and Beta Tri-Hi-Y Clubs, and our aims are similar to theirs-- Self Improvement, Christian Fellowship, and United Service. Our officers are: President-Sally Slicer, Vice-President-Helen Hibner, Secretary-Elva Hare, Treasurer-Virginia Stuver, Chaplain-Barbara Pfrogner. A junior high school basketball team was organized under the direction of Coach Abele. The boys had plenty of fun and exercise. Too bad the girls didn't get their team organized. Better luck next year! -44..

SPARE THE ROD ---- Spare the rod and spoil the child -'tis an old saying but it's the truth-over and over again. Helen QMarguerite Spencej the self-sacrificing older sister manages an antique shop to give her sister Marjorie fRita Dahlj and her brother Ronnie fHarvey Bowserj the comforts and luxuries they so little deserve. Spoiled, selfish brats, they are, says Aunt Lena QGeorgia Keimj a maiden aunt who enjoys ill-health in a big way. Aunt Grace QLorene Fikej, her shadow and Lena-appointed nurse echoes Lena's thoughts and ideas. Suave, sophisticated son of the rich, Buzzie fKenneth Lohrj, dances attendance to Marjorie and wants to marry the gal, even though she claims she's only marrying him for his money. Nice girl, isn't she? To complicate matters, we have a bride and groom-no other than Mattie Uiloise Englehartj Helen's best UQ friend, and Frank QRaymond Higgsj Helen's ex-boy friend. Frank, who got tired waiting for Helen is still waiting for her to pay her fire insurance which had recently expired. fSmells like troublelj The unknown quantity is Philip Wheatley Uack Butlerj a New York decorator who has interests- in both sisters. If you didn't attend, ask the sisters-who got Philip? The play, It's a Long Lane, by John Hershey, a Samuel French production, was presented by the senior class in April. It was directed by Mrs. Elizabeth G. Witt with the assistance of Miss Mary Ryland. fAs our annual goes to press, other plans have not been madej. fConcluded from Page 221 he just can't speech , . .Joe Brown blushing like a red, red rose. . .Lucille Weimer winning a girl's athletic award ....
