JUNIOR CLASS We are the Juniors, neither so far down the line that We live in the future, nor so far up that We live in the past. We are the medium, the future commanders, pace makers, and path makers. You, Who are the Seniors, perhaps Wonder Who Will take your posi- tions in the far high places of the school, Who will rule Where yfou have ruled, and do as you have done. What, you say, have you as a basis upon which to base your claim and your prophecy? This and these: El Circulo Hispcmico: Vivieene Tallal, secretary, Jack Ball, treas- urer. Library Council: Catherine Wright. Military: Spresser Wynn, Henry Spencer, Edison Good, and John Heard. Ofrchestra: Vivieene Tallal, concert master, Spresser Wynn, student director. Both in All-Southwestern Orchestra. THE SENIOR SPEAKS Ah-I am tired of prating fools, Yellow men, trembling tools- I am tired-tired of mirthless giggles, Painted clowns and Worthless Wiggles- Give me a boy Who can laugh, And a girl Who can smile, A boy that can fight, And a girl Worth While- Give me a Junior! -Effie Cumings. l25l

4B SENIOR PROPHECY-Continued In the big building that they built on the bank of the river is Obie Norton's studio. He is now one of the greatest actors of the talkies, and he and his leading lady, De Etta Dishman, are to be married next week. The Reverend Sid Dunken will tie the knot. His typist, Virginia Buckley, recently won the world's speed test with 200W words a minute and Rosalie Autry was third with 2981 words a minute. 'iRuth Davidson, Mable Pritchett, and Bobby Short recently won the bathing beauty contest held at White Rock. Pat Fletcher's hot dog stand there does a thriving business and is chieiiy habitated by Carl Davis, Lorine Bourland, William White, and John Surrat. Kirby Blakeney had an amphibian plane there until Nena Louise Day passed by. He ran into a tree, as he couldn't look two ways at once. His sawbones, Jake Gold- stein, wanted to take his appendix out until he found that it had been re- moved ten years ago. Billy Allen, the Professor continued, who recently ran 90 yards for a safety, has been chosen All-American tackle twice. His Wife, Nelle Price, is very proud of him. Their nearest neighbors, Mary Lou Thomp- son and Frances Melton, have gained much fame by their life-sized port- raits of white elephants. Where is Bertha Russ ? I inquired of him. Bertha is now a famous hula dancer in Kenneth J ones' and Clyde Forshee's night club. Their chef is Joe Moifitt, who is a ha-sh expert. His chief assistants are T. L. Hall, Abelardo Rodriguez, and Benny Lawrence. Ralph Stovall, Rosa Schwarz, and Victor Correa give exhibition skating there each night, while Spresser Wynn conducts the orchestra for their performance. George Thornton plays the drums and hopes soon to be able to play the 'Anvil Chorus? He wants to become a blacksmith. The orches- tra also has: Jack Selby, flute player, Lucian Spann, cowbell player, Francis Wilson, Jews harp player, and J. D. Touchon, bird-imitating whistle player. Beatrice White sells cigarettes and candy there, and her best customer is Harold O'Neal. The Professor paused here, scratched his head, made more calcula- tions, and then proceeded again: Helen L'Roy ran for Mayor and received one vote-she voted for herself. The ticket was also made up of Charles Marsh, Dog Catcher--he was chased by two dogs and withdrew, Curtis Andrews, Water Commis- sioner-the voters thought he was all wetg Willard Johnson, Finance Com- missioner-he made the mistake of asking for a loan of five dollarsf' As the last name was checked off, the Professor sighed, and stretching himself said, Well, that's that.

SOPHOMORE CLASS What could be sweeter than the Sophomore class? Honest and truly, they seem more important than the Seniors. Don't they chew their gum harder and just a little longer than anyone else? When one gets to be a Sophomore, he or she has reached the point 'where he is supposed to fall in love g or at least, he seems to think so. The Sophs are always doing something, too. They help to win tro- phies that make dear old Tech. proud of them. They iiock in the detention rooms, and buy the football tickets, too. It takes the Sophomores to keep the head of the school in the air and keep up the arguments among their classmates. They are all so proud when they have started their second year on that long and rugged road to High School Education. And one other word, Don't forget they are also happy because they are no longer the minnows or the bait for the upper-classmen to pick on eternally? FRESHMAN CLASS Recipe for a Freshman class: Select only prime, innocent youngsters from each of a dozen or so schools, scrub well behind the ears, sprinkle liberally with bewilderment, turn loose in the high pressure melting pot of Dallas Tech. and await results. This recipe was used with the greatest success a few short months ago and produced that marvel of the school, the current Freshman class. Just how dull the life of the Sophomore would be without his unso- phisticated little playmates is a matter for the school psychologists to thresh out among themselves. Certain it is that the noble Junior would expire of pure ennui, and the mind of the Senior become even more atro- phied were it not for these interesting beings nearby. For weeks they supply entertainment for all the military officers, as any mortal near the windows at drill periods can testify. But for all the laughter and slight feeling of superiority that each class feels, there is a warm place in their hearts for this, the youngest class. They earnestly long to guide and help, smooth out the rough places, iix things so that the Freshmen can travel on a higher and better plane than they. Whatever the victories they have annexed to themselves, they are but the stepping stones for the Fish, the rungs in the ladder that leads to the top. And so, wolf cub, realizing this. they take off their hats to you -you, the leaders of the pack tomorrow. Prove yourselves! i26l
