X K-' , 5 X Scams ll lnteresting Events That Occured During the Term: While the janitor was on a strike, the whole Student Body and the Faculty struggled through the mass of debris which was made ofink, gum, banana peelings, and notes, the latter being written by Florence Becker. Charles Dilday, George Gillt-t, Dorothy Lnych, Martha Lewis, Ella Layton, Stephen Freeman, limmy Cullen, lessie Vllilson, Hymen Soref, Iames Millar, Ethel Kapaun thers were in Bowery broguel, and Miltlrecl Payne. An initiation was held at the G. G. L., during which the dear little che-ilds Iulia Brown, Oscar Krause, Elva Acklam, Yolande Savelli, Alice Anderson, Le Roy Tuttle. and Richard Bernhart wore big ebony interrogation marks on their foreheads and ab- stained from ablutions for a week through necessity. Alice Magee was the one who frightened a certain teacher, who shall be nameless because of her propensity for wrath. in a dark hallway. On a wintry day, with snow abounding, lo and behold, in the midst of a joyous merry-making on the ice, was Bill Konnak, gracefully disporting himself in a gorgeous Palm Beach bathing suit. Nlarie Bevry was dressed to characterize an Indian squaw, with Bob Browne as her papoose, and Braymer Sherman, as the chief, wearing his tinted lndian shirt of pastoral shades. lda Laine gayly gave a rendition of the ' 'Snow-flake dance from Lux using snowballs so freely that she was forced hastily to conclude her dance because her audience were so willing to return her missiles. One day, a girl-it is rumored that her name was Helen Fancher-came into the science room with an Enimr Announcement and said, This must go off with a bang. lust then something did go off with a bang. At the far-famed sniping expedition at Phamtom Lake, Ludwig Holz was the gullible victim of the Hi-Y's when he held the empty bag and waited patiently for the birds to enter their intended home. His audience was Bill Reschke, George Ronscholdt, Lyle Hansen, Alfonso Wittkowski, and Edward Dale this hair was then goldenl. For the football games given in the Lower Assembly under the personal direction of Margaret Fink a mock orchestra was formed: Iohn Crocket. played the Bell Song from Ilourf, Warren Dana punished the trombone, Bernard Friedman fRudolf Rassen- dalel tore up a few notes, Carl Steinman muttered on the bass viol, the Toft Twins, in- corporated, by turns, tit almost seemed the same one,l played musical instruments. A performance of Dr. Fnu,fru,f was given by Nliss Turgasc-n's English class-her most brilliant Class-with Elizabeth Hayman as the beautiful Helen of Troy, Whose face sank a thousand rowboats, whose lips Dr. Faustus tMartin lacobsenl was supposed to kissg but he held his ardor in check and osculated her hand. Gilbert Hansen was Mephistophilis in a pair of red bloomers, and Dick llarvey was Beelzebub garbed in Helen of 'l'roy's red flannel coat. At various intervals the following permanent visitors appeared in our midst: May Herrman and Florence Leuschke. To advertise the Kipi a skit was given at an assembly in which Margaret Fink, with tears in her eyes, wore a white wig and had her notes for her part on the table. After seeing this, Alice Matterer bobbed her hair while Ella Pomiecko did nothing, and Laurence Quirk did the same with variations. After dinner at the Rotary Club tvulgarians would call it a luncheonl Richard Kroupa, Edward Dale, Harold Rasmussen, Erman Holz, Iimmy Bolton. Orville Glad, Clarence Hart, Carl Hand, Russel Lang, Iohn Kaupie, and Gerald lorgenson had to go home and change their shirts, for teachers swooned at their tobacco-incensed entrance. As for poor little Martin Iacobsen, it was only through great effort of will that he sur- vived the day. VVhat a sad thing! tTl1is can be taken either wayj. ll49l '
