Capers At The Capital . . . From those three happy days of our Washington trip, each of us cherishes some special mem- ories, which we wish to preserve in our yearbook for enjoyment in future years. The boys will chuckle about: The morning when Screendoor Brockway, Richard Goss, and Laine Keeler delayed the bus for twenty minutes Cno one called the boys for breakfast.J . . . William McKee hanging out the fourth story window, while Wayne Fulmer and Bill Rhymer watched with mingled expressions of shame and mirth . . . the bed that collapsed after Dick Trythall, Donald Sheasley, and Lowell Mull sabotaged it . . . the football games in the halls which always ended with Keeler, Bill Salaneck, and Tommy Bishop on the floor . . . Gordon's adventure at the servants' en- trance . . . David Camaho's exhibition in the hall of his football skill . . . Eddie Lockowitz, getting lost on the way to the movies. The girls will never forget: Rosalie Bitler and Jane Cisarik, taking a pajama hike to the lobby, to buy candy . . . Henrietta Kulcycki's expression when Dorothy Kuntzleman and Helen Read wakened her . . . the hurry and scurry to put rooms in order for Mrs. Shinehouse's sudden inspections . . . Joan Buckwalter's quick trip down the White House steps . . . Betty Jane Loughin and Ann Marie Semet watching Cleo Brown perform on the small balcony outside their window . . . Esther Evans, squeezed into a few inches of space between Marlyn and Chris . . . Christine Swavely, barging into a glass shelf in the bathroom . . . Carolyn Gray, answering the phone, then falling asleep with the receiver in her hand . . . Marilyn Rothenberger, Ruth Roberts, and June Johnson lost in thonghts of the attractions back home . . . Charlotte's leap over the bed which resulted in a bruised lip . . . Barbara Ehly and Shirley Lightcap, frantically searching for their electric irons, which the other girls had borrowed . . . Catherine Luft, taking the blame for Lillian, Rena, and Rosie, when they came in late . . . Janet Baker, waking Joan by dunking her in the shower . . . Ginny Yocom's collection of sailors . . . the unexpected telephone call that Marlyn answered at 4:30 a.m .... Phyllis, Mildred, and Jane Shaner dressing in bed, because of inadequate floor space . . . Margie Swavely, sending four cards to one certain person . . . Joyce, Beverly and Arlene, receiving an unwelcome caller. We can all recall: How we nicknamed Mrs. Shinehouse Chap fshort for chaperonej . . . how Mr. DeVincentis suffered from bursitis . . . that we had french fries at every meal . . . how hard it was to stay awake after two sleepless nights . . . those room service cokes that cost one dollar . . . Gene Clemens, parading through the halls in his handsome pajamas . . . Theodora Smith's enjoyment of the moonlight ride on the Potomac River. Unanswered questions: Will those bedspreads that hung out of the window of Room 406 ever get clean? . . . Will the man in Room 403 recover from his surprise at being awakened by cat calls at 4:20 a.m.? . . . Who spent thirty cents to ride across the street in a taxi? . . . Who won in the big game that involved Carl Ecker, Johnny Kreps, James Chappie, Joe Fry, and Robert Swavely? . . . Why did Henry Hoffman sit in the front seat of the bus ? . . . Why did Philip Lang want to change to Mrs. Shinehouse's bus? . . . Why couldn't those happy days at Washington go on indefinitely?

.f USTRAWS FOR TWO Every time Sam Hlordon Wamplerj goes out for a school event, it always backfires. This is hard for Sam because he wants to take Carol f.Ioan Buckwalterl to the dance, and as she only likes the he-man type, Sam is afraid he doesn't stand a chance. He has just been dropped from the baseball squad for ruining: any chance of victory. Sam's sister Janey Cllhyllis McCruddenb went to Miss Sauer's 1Ruth Robertsl Sweet Shoppe to tell Susie what has happened. Susie fJane Cisarikl lilies Sam very much, but scorns Buck fDonald Sheasleyj. Sam receives a double blow when he discovers that Susie is going to lose her job at the Sweet Shoppe and that his father has also lost his job. Apparently Sam's chances for a College education have vanished. In a desperate attempt to get a job, Sam talks George fliugene Clemens? into letting him borrow his new suit. Sam has several narrow escapes from the tailor, Mr. Mitchicolf lDavid Camahoj, as the suit is not paid for. The suit, however, does make a big: impression upon Carol. Susie and Leslie fliarbara lChlyJ try to give Sam some publicityg so they advertise in the school paper that Sam has been chosen the best-dressed high school man of the year. Matters become cvcn more desperate for Sam when he is chased by Buck and the tailor, who is after the suit, Then affairs take a turn for the better, for the coach fRichard Yocumi sees Sam running: and decides to put him in the mile race the next day. The day of the race the girls Janey, Susie, and Simpy iMarlyn Berrikerj see Sam win the race. Sam has another bit of pgood news when he finds that the company who manufactured the suit he was wearing has offered his Dad a job for the publicity Sam gave them while wearing the suit. Sam is happy at the sudden turn of events and finally getting the right girl. ' 1 , ,Q 5 .f Vi
