THE JUNIOR CLASS juniors, juniors, everywhere-September 1934 saw them busily engaged in the business of appearing grown up, for now they had attained the distinction of upperclassmen. Nor was this in name only: many cast aside their lassitude, and resolved, now or never, to make the Pro Merito Society, in spite of being en'- rolled in U. S. history, chemistry and ,even trig. On the vast athletic field were found many intrepid juniors, eager to test their power or skill in football, basketball, tennis, track, and baseball. V Paddy the Next Best Thing, the gilnior play, was one of the bestgnot next best-accomplishments of the junior class this year, due to the splendid cast and the hard and appreciated work of Mrs.'Eubanks. This play has set a high standard for plays in the future. V Due to the perseverance and influence of the juniors, for the first time at M. H. S, all upperclassmen were able to obtain rings, the pattern selected being adopt- ed for the school ring, thus eliminating the expense of making a new die each year. Heretofore, only seniors could purchase rings: departure from the usual custom is setting a line tradition.

HICK DAY April first! Annual Hick day at'M. H. S. began and ended in fun! Spina sters, apparently stepping from grandfather's album, bathing beauties, hobfoesf pirates, gypsies, barefoot urchins-these and many others mingled on the campus and dashed to and from classes throughout the day. At noon, cameras clicked from every direction. Mr, Bw0Ck'S,,XSnaBped unexpectedly, could tell many interesting tale. N After school, everyone went to the gym, where, following the grand march, prizes were awarded. The Dionne quintuplets, Charlotte Bongardt, Ruth Martz, Betty lean Richards, Betty Froome: Mariam Swope, and their nurse, Patsy Iohn- son, received the sweepstakes prii for the most original costumes. Little Red Riding Hood, impersonated by Eveline Caswill, received award for the prettiest costume, Perhaps Bill Richards, as Ice Penner-with duck and all-frightened the wolf away, for nobody saw it, Roma Algeo as old black Uncle Remus, and Charles Hunt as little Lord Fauntleroy, captured prizes for the funniest costumes. Need one say more to prove that April 1, 1935 will be long remembered? May there be many more like them! JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM Long fluffy dresses, dark suits, dim lights, soft music-the junior-senior prom in full swing! This annual event, held at the Woman's Club House, was one of the season's highlights.
