Wise Acres For many years, Wise Acres was formed by a group of seniors chosen at the close of the Junior year. This year a new system was inaugurated whereby a Junior learned the different stages of creating the book. This will be an advantage to the future seniors for they will then have a proficient leader. Ail the staffs were under the direction of Editor-in-chief, Jessie Shaffer. Literary Editor, Eleanor Whiting's staff consisted of Ruth Ramer, Ginny Dale, Emy Diehl, Patti Sweeney, Lillian Bennerup and Mildred Hubbard. The Business Manager was Peggy Todd. Her advertising staff, under the direction of Jean AJJison, included Lorraine Marker, Lisade Kauffmann, Margie Ferris, Jersey Harlan and Posy Pilling. The photographers, Dotty Purdy, Emy Diehl, and June Lien were seen any and all times of the year, camera in hand. The typists were Eleanor Whiting, Joan Higin-bothom, and Emy Diehl.

The Fun Makers The Activities Committee was quite busy this year, thinking up numerous and widely varying programs. First came the Square Dance in the barn with the N.A.C. boys. It was enjoyed by everyone, even if the faculty did have to dance in the road. Later on, the Juniors gave an excellent Halloween Costume party, of which the maineventwas Mr. Patronsky's headstand. Then the committee started having Thursday and Saturday night entertainments to brighten the week. Remember the riotous time everyone had with the trained Shellies and the very comical French Poodle, Tony? But the Famous Couples’ party really gave us the biggest laughs of all. Then there were lectures and slides, such as, What Birds Do For Us, and Carden and Wilderness Spots In Dixie. And who has yet stopped humming the Folk Songs Mrs. Stabler did for us so well? Naturally, the Winter Wonderland and May Day Dances cannot be omitted. The Fun Makers feel they have lived up to their title. 19
