(Continued) This was the year we made recordings ol some of the one act plays we studied in class. Forty and c couple of other girls took Medicine Show by Stuart Walker. Of course, all the charac- ters were men; that was a minor obstacle, but it took some plain and fancy practicing to make a jug part full of water sound like a steam boat whistle. Six and some fellows did a good job in Lord Dunsany's A Night at an Inn. Our Junior Prom was born in much the same manner as the Greek theory of the formation of the world. It emerged from Chaos. At first, things went along smoothly; our theme Mexi- can Fiesta was chosen. Ah, but the day before ... we lacked two female figures, souvenirs, crepe paper, and recruits to help decorate. Under the direction of Mr. Lawrence, Six and the boys put up the crepe paper and figurines, while the girls with Forty, flew about making souvenirs and doing odd jobs that came up. The evening came cold, calm and crisp; and everyone present had a fine time. Net gain—a loss of $20. We came through moving-up chapel and June exams com- paratively unscathed. Although there was no actual fanfare to greet us on our first day as seniors, everyone seemed buoyed up by a secret fanfare of his own, and Hi senior! became the phrase of the day. One of our first acts as a senior class was the election of officers. Bill Stark was given the coveted role of president; Harold Hansen, that of vice-president. Joan Sowinski became secretary and Arthur Kukla was to handle the money, rather the lack of it. Still bowed down by our debt, Arthur Kukla recruited some girls to form a Hot Dog Squad at football games. These brave girls stood over a hot stove on sweltering Saturday afternoons, strained with loads of coke and struggled with grade school arithmetic while trying to count change. Only one mystery was encountered and that was never solved. What ever became of that well-seasoned and salted hot dog the girls prepared? As an aside, Forty can't stand hot dogs or mustard anymore. Boosted by a profit of $120 from the Hot Dog Squad, the class' spirit began to rise. The membership of our Honor Society was trebled and Shirley Warner won the oratorical contest. Things were beginning to shape up. Just before Christmas vacation, the staff began to grow des- perate for want of something to put in the class history. So the senior girls obligingly wore scarves and sun-glasses to school. Miss Blue became mildly worried. If you girls have pink eye, you'd better tell me. I'm supposed to send you home if you do, you know. Unfortunately—or fortunately—they didn't. With the pain of January exams behind, our sentimental Forty became aware of certain things she'd always taken for granted: the noise in the halls, the wolves in the locker rooms, the sound of the bell, so like a young calf with a cold in its nose, the keen flash of spit balls in study halls and the kindly loving manner in which teachers piled on homework. Teachers became in- dividuals instead of beings who tried to plague us with home- work. Even realistic Six found his thoughts and conversation turning back to his younger days. Behind us are three and a half years of fun, work, puppy love, financial crises and mem- ories. Before us are the senior play, class nite, commencement exercises, and life. On this pensive note we leave our little freshman class, now a grown-up senior class. May Forty become another Florence Nightingale, may Six build a bridge across the Atlantic and may they all live happily ever after!
