caan fiafisz Student Uowzci The first week of school, and such a week! Each one takes a chair next to his best friend, only to find that by the end of the week the teachers have spotted the chums and have arranged a very decided fruit basket upset seating plan. Courses are changed, and then changed again until some dignified but very confused Senior walks into a Freshman English class to take American History. Finally, however, everything straightens out and the schedule is just beginning to run smoothly when the auto races are upon us. Two precious afternoons of vacation! Did I say two? Well maybe three for some. Back to full time school schedule again and attention turns to the extra-curricular activities. Half the Freshman boys turn out to show the Seniors how football really is played and practically every girl in high school signs up for Glee Club. lt's surprising what ambition we all have. A contracts look easy, just the sort of thing we can take in our seven-league strides. fThat's what we think at the beginning of the six- week period.J The classes start organizing early in the term and among other officers select their representatives to the Student Advisory Council. Four Seniors, three Juniors. two Sophomores, and one Freshman com- pose this body which helps tlie faculty in making and managing school policies. It sits in judgement on such questions as class day rules, hall conduct, and making the annual an all-school undertaking. The Coun- cills duties grow heavier as the year progresses and the lockers start spilling out their accumulation of papers every time the doors are open- ed. Then comes occasional announcements reading, t'Locker clean-up and inspection today. What efticient inspectors those Council mem- bers make-and they are becoming quite professional at managing the fish pond at the school carnivals. Sponsor, Mr. Cass: Seniors. I.: . I Lk..

9 8 Uma! unto 'za Almost a Senior, so the song goes, but the Juniors aren't waiting until their last year to make a name for themselves. Oh, No! They've been heard from all along. Just look around you and see how many members of the class are taking a prominent part in the musical organi- zations, clubs, athletics, and other school activities-and to atttain such places they had to start in and work their way up from the time they were Freshies. The Juniors boast that they can furnish someone to fill any position in the school that calls for leadership or talent. Is it an artist you want? Therels Jack Janssen. Perhaps you are in need of soloists. Inquire about Laverne Lakin, Dean Barta, or Edward Puncochar. Or is it a husky football player you're looking for? Well, there's Haskell, Clark, and Stone wearing letters. Are you in need of a stage hand and carpenter? You couldn't find a better one than La Vern Duemey. Some drummers and a drill major to keep you in step? The Kuseks and Virginia Klein. Debaters? The Juniors can furnish you with a couple of teams. How about a cheer leader? There's Harold and Wilma, take your pick. Some budding actors and actresses? Just look over the cast for The Importance of Being Ernest. And don't think the Juniors aren't strong on the study side of school life. They produce outstanding students in everything from vocational agriculture to typing and shorthand. Way back when they were Freshmen, the Juniors started doing things in a social way by entertaining themselves with a miscellaneous game party. During their Sophomore year they had two parties and a couple of picnics, but now that they are Juniors they deny themselves the pleasure of even one party that they may have ample funds in their treasury to banquet the Seniors in royal style. Of course, the Juniors honor the Seniors, and some of them may even love some of the Seniors, strange as it may seem, but their self-denial in the matter of class socials is not entirely unselfish. They mustn't disgrace themselves by giving to the Senior class a less impressive banquet than this same class gave when they were Juniors-and banquets cost money. The Junior-Senior banquet and the Junior play are the two high spots of the year. Speaking of plays--will you ever forget how eagerly the Jimiors crowded around the bulletin board to see the results of try- outs? What exclamationsl What breathless oh's and ah's were heard when this notice appeared: Cast for the Junior Play, The Importance of Being Ernest.
