'R H N ' ' T '.. 'X I- XL Fi A i Eluninrbeninr Q jfailure On january 40.5. 1942, the Seniors were dragged to the annual grubpile held at the new fire department house which has recently been erected llX91j. All having assembled and the napkins pinned on the customary coat lapel, a mad scramble was made for the chuck. In the melee someone picked Big hard-boiled egg. Kenneth Bennet was flipping little quarters of big pies at Girl Cloud up for a piece of chicken, but to his sorrow he found he had a Mr. Kelley, when Mr. Buroker intervened and was struck on his Roman-type countenance with a pure white raspberry piece. Miss Morton, hiding undef' the table, was caught, and to chastise her severely enough, she was made In do the latest dance steps, superintended by -lohn XX'ilson, who kept time on the plates with a knife and fork. jerry McDonald and jerry Arnold in a mad rush to sit beside Frank johnson, threw three boards out uf place only to be beaten by the last years captain of the Fighting Tomboys, Miss Sylvia Sock. Nate XYarden soon came in to settle the matters. but with the combined strength of Glenn Schwarzkopf and Francis Yeast, a piece of Miss Moorehome's last minute cakes was crammed down his throat on which he strangled and immediately left. Miss George and Olive Fitch be- gan to fight over a quarter of an onion the rest of which had been devoured by Claude Dorton and Helen Benn. Barrington Martz did not participate in the affair but sat quietly by and let Zonda Rapp, who had her plate stacked with boiled pigeons, tell him what his name was and why he was there. Ruth Beeks and Crystal XYilliams stirred up friendly rivalry when Ruth chal- lenged Crystal to a food-consuming contest which Ruth by her last minute rally won, by a margin of three pies and eighteen sandwiches. Afterward everyone had gathered up a few scraps. the lack of which was caused by Mrs. Taylor who threw a lot of it out the skylights. trying to quill the man in the moon. A speech was started by Helen Vernon but because of the flying missiles in the air she decided she wouldn't make a good speaker un- der fire. so she left the shack in tears. Next the ancient game of hide-and- seek was played in which half of the jests left because of the improper treat- ment received a few moments before caused by Miss Nelson's unerring accur- acy with a slingshot. XYith the remaining guesses in a frenzy of fear be- cause of jim Poulsons and Gerald Hiser's fake slugging bout. the crowd was put into an uproar of laughter by the surprise of the evening put on by Clifton and Alma an affair long to be remembered. of negro folk songs and dances. After the latest game. called blink-em was played, in which Carl Minear tore a ligament loose in his left eye-lid from winking at Mildred Bedwell, who was held securely in place by Charles Burson. blackguard of the lighting scrubs. the affair came to a close with the explosion of a gun by Mr. Edda Brown. Like to jes' gif out and rest, And not work at nothin' else. '-Riley.
