Roustabouts are always needed ’round a circus, Oiling wheels and pitching tents anew, Untying ropes and leaving calls unheeded, Same as the faithful Soph’mores always do. The clowns are just to make the people laugh And Frosh can do this act so very well. Ballyhoo men aren’t known to he so useful Or active as the Roust’bouts, you can tell. Usually they are making lots of noise. The performers do their many acts just “swell”, Same as the little Senior girls and boys. A. P . PAGE TWENTY-THRKK OLD NOKOMIS

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY At last, after a happy and successful year of being Clowns, our gang of “Freshies” was granted a leave of absence and we all romped off to our respective places of rest. While we were Clowns, we needed some advisors, so we chose Mr. Myers and Mrs. EekhofT. We also elected our class officers as follows: president, Harriet Challans; vice-president, Dick Engelhart; secretary-treasurer, Anna Kurila; and Student Council representative, Everett Lewey. After three months, in which we learned to he more dignified than any Clown has a right to be, we went hack to school and this year we were given the honorary name of Roustabouts. W'e rousted-about for a few weeks to sec what it was like and decided that it was a “lot” more fun than being Clowns. Then, to keep up the old “Spanish custom”, we called a class meeting and elected our officers and advisors for the forthcoming year. W’e elected Mr. Cosner and Miss Pircher for advisors, and the following officers: president, Raymond Goodwin; vice-president, Ruth Underwood; secretary-treasurer, Anna Modak; Student Council representative, Ellen Kanke. As usual, we decided to give a Hallowe’en party for the Clowns, and it might be said that some of them lived up to their name quite loyally. Almost everyone came masked and the two most comically dressed were crowned king and queen. The Faculty decided we needed some diversion from the regular routine and very kindly gave us semester examinations. We’ll say nothing, however, about our honor roll standing. W'e Roustabouts have striven bravely and ascended great heights; and we hope that this year’s Clowns will become as efficient Roustabouts as we have. Ruth Underwood. OLD NOKOMIS PACK TWENTY T V )
