Senior News We have reached the end. That is, we have completed our eight years of grade school and four years of high school and are now ready to start out in the big, wide World. l ' During our twelve years we have accomplished much but, to be truthful, I think we have accomplished more this last year than ever before. We can now take things at a faster pace. All of our classes have sped right along. Every class has been fun as well as educational. I suppose you recall some of Scherer's antics which I've related in previous senior news columns. He is still busy with his wise-cracks, although he has lost his partner, Joey, at least for the time being, as Joey is with the Militia, fighting the flood waters. Kenny Bachman is also on flood duty. We all hope they get home to receive their diplomas. Soon no one will be able to complain about the offensive and evil odors of chemistry for we will store the equipment, odors and all, for the summer to be left for the oncoming chemistry class. We wish them as much luck as we have had and also the fun. L Some of the girls are really speedy in shorthand now-why, some are nearly as good as John Robert Gregg himself, and have you seen those fancy certificates some of the girls are flashing around! The typing class is really going to town with their speed, et cetera. Of course, regardless of what we Seniors do, we always do it exceedingly well. We wouldn't be Seniors if we didn't. Would we? Mr. Smith has finally reached the conclusion that the members of his Sociology class read nothing in the newspapers but the funnies. He asked us the other day how many had been keeping up with a certain event of importance-well, to be frank, no one admitted ever reading of it. Outside of that, of course, we are all right. We have finished our Sociology book and last semester we finished our Economics books. In bookkeeping we started the year by working simple problems, and worked up until we are doing regular business practice. One of the things enjoyed most was working on our practice sets. They gave us an idea as to the things we would have to do if Working in an office. The girls out- numbered the boys 15-2, but all in all we got along very well. Senior Play, Bargain Bride' The Senior play was a rolliky, laugh-packed, three-act show. Those in the cast were Jerry Sauder, Winifred Martin, Rosemary Wilson, Jack Sauder, Virginia Priller, Ann Blunier, Janice Brown, Mildred Rocke, Betty Walker, Donna Schirer, and Joey Bussone. - Jerry Sauder, as a girl, stole the hearts of at least fifty of the male audience. The play consisted of one merry mix-up after another. First the boys have to be married by the end of the day in order to obtain their rightful share of some money. Their regular girl friends turn them down because they believed the boys were only interested in obtain- ing the money. To settle matters, Jimmy Smith CJerryJ consents to be attired as a girl and passed off first as his own wife, then his roommate, Dex's CJackl wife, and then as a sister to Dex. 11
