JINXED The school year of 1937 started off smoothly for the Senior class, then things began to happen. Mr. william Scott, our coach and biology teacher had the misfortune to injure his arm playing baseball. This injury delayed the gym classes from getting an early start, but in a week's time things were running smoothly again until after the new year. Miss D. Gahagan, our English teacher, was stricken suddenly by an appendex attack while visiting here and was removed to the hospital for an operation. A few days later Prof had the misfortune to smash Scott's car while on the way to see Miss Gahagan CProfs car being on the Newcomb basketball tripi. The school was closed early for Easter Vac- ation because of the scarlet fever epidemic. Mrs. Melville, our home room teacher, also missed some school on account of her sickness. After the Easter vacation, we learned that Miss Gahagan had not recovered as soon as it was expected and would not be with us for several weeks. This article was written May ll, 1938, and I hope we can finish the year without any more misfortune. Howard Barker IOHFKQUOKIOHIHKIOI CAFETERIA NOTES Just a word from the Cafeteria lest the passing Seniors, one especially, for- get busy happy hours spent in a very pleas- ant occupation. The crazy minutes of haggling for lower prices, biggest pieces of cake and hottest hot dishes that make of the peaceful kitchen a bedlam of noises are not to be passed over quickly. They soon graduate into more contented tones as the food is consumed by those people whose hunger made wolves of them for a short time. Few of you stop to think of the time and labor that has been spent during the morning in the preparation of food that takes so little time to disappear. There are ten people who contribute to this cause---two for sandwiches--three for serving students--one for serving faculty and the rest do the dishes and sweep.. One of this year's Seniors has worked during study periods and noon hours for all four years of her high school life. She has grown up with our cafeteria and may some day manage one of her own. I wonder how we will get along next year without Ina. The Faculty must train a new waitress to serve them--to carry the tea-kettle back and forth, and to wash their dishes. We wonder what new faces will appear on both sides of our counter next year, and we look forward to bigger and better bus- iness in the future. Hilda Hufnail ' EREFTA May 4, 1938. Yes, that sure was Egg night. Nothing less than Gilbert and Sull- ivan's NMikadon,was being presented at N. H. S. under the very able direction of Miss Margaret Denham. First we'll go backstage and see what's going on. Why, who can that be? It looks like someone I've seen before, but with that wig and makeup! Do you suppose they import- ed this Japanese beauty to take the lead? ---Finally, someone, seeing the puzzled ex- pression on my face came to the rescue. Oh yes, now I recognize her. Well Grace, we only hope you act as well as you look. land taking the part of Yum Yum, she proved tol nAnd who is your leading man?H I asked her. Sure enough, that is Ray over there. Even though you aren't recognizable, Ray, you sure did your stuff as Nanki-Poo. Goodness, after these surprises I was ready for anything--so in order of their appearance I was introduced to therest of the cast. First came none other than our own Doug, taking the part of Pish-Tush. You did yourself justice to, Doug. Then came Ko Ko-Lord High Executioner. With Freddie taking this role we had some acknowledged acting. Next came Sonny. He is nacting upn again, in the role of Pooh-Bah, Lord High Everything Else. Next we are introduced to Yum Yum's two sisters Peep-Bo and Pitti-Sing. Emma Jean Murphy and Mary Meter took these parts, ing did nobly and justly toward our leading a y. And last of all come the great Mikado and his daughter-in-law elect. These turned out to be none others than our own Hank Blowers and Carol Heath. You both did your part in making the operetta a perfect success Now I am told that this is all the lead but over there in the corners are the boys and girls choruses. The girls chorus consisted of: Velma Young Bessie Knowles Elizabeth Brownell Dorothy Fischer Betty Grennell Jeanette Torrey Rhoda Lado Ethel Sweet Nona Reynolds Martha Bradt The coolies were: Carl Gifford Roy Pearsall Ernest Gifford Gerald Buyce Clark Palmateer Hugh Frasier Leonard Murphy Donald Groff Donald Krahmer Milton Groff Arnold Whitman Actually, you wouldn't even recognize ghese young people as those you see each ay. I guess the thanks here goes to Miss Louise Durfee and her sewing classes for costumes, and to Mrs Melville, Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Lindsey for their ability in making us look like beautiful Japanese people. Oh, there goes the cue for the orchestm we'll view the rest from the audience. Fir t we hear a selection by the school orchestra continued on another page
