RODEO — 193 i 11 3muur Class ©ffirurs James Brown ........................ President Anita Oliver .................. Vice President Clifford Johnson ......... Secretary-Treasurer Miss Crouse .......................... Sponsor Roundup Hi Scool. Mae, 10, 1931. Deer Hezerkiar, I giss its gettin time I wuz ritin’ to you agin once more. I guess this’ll be my last letter to you bfore I cum home and that will be bfore next tater diggin’. 1 have had quite a good time hear in scool and arter this I cal’late I orter know somethin. I guess I orter tell you a little of whots happened these late years. Well, at the startin’ of our freshman year we had a class meetin’. And what class! After they had got the kids quitened down they tol us we wuz goin to relect officers. All the kids wuz thrashin’ around like a short tailed bull in fli time. All the kids wanted me to be it but I wuz wise and woodn’t do no sich a thing. They fin- ally choosed Tommie Oliver fur president and Cliff Johnson fur vice-president (I wonder what they mean by vice?) and Kenny Evans fur Sec- retary and Molly Scott fur treasurer. I wish I cud abin treasurer cuz then I cud have had all the candy and ice cream I wanted. We choosed Miss Bradshaw fur our sponsor. I thought “Tom- mie” Oliver wuz a boy but they tol me that he was a she. I dont see what for they call a gurl by a boyses name. That sartinly shows a lot 0’ booklarnin, don’t it? Us freshies shure did a lot fur our “mater alma’’ this year. First of all we wuz inisheeated, and by Jezebal it took some one spryer’n I be to stand it. A bunch of big dubs called Siniors got a holt of us an they sure acted shamful with us kids. They tol us to do something silly and we woodnt do no such a thing they nearly drown- ed us in sheep dip. An that wuznt all- they put iodine an barn paint an cornmeal mush all over our heads and faces. I thought I wood get one over on them Siniors so I vowed I woodnt take a bath. When I cum to scool the rest 0’ that week they was shure mad ’cause they said I pol- luted the heir. Gee, I’m glad we only have to be freshmens once! In edition tu this we’uns had to go whitewash a big pile of rocks that they had put on topn a big hill. The Siniors thought it wuz funny but we didn’t. But the gurls in our class wuz synthetic wi'us an made us a picnic. We had lots to eat and that’s all I keered about. Arter that, time jes went like heck. Afore we knowd it it wuz nearly time to quit so we had a Color Day Parade. We all got to march in the parade downtown. All the folks down there look- ed at me the most. They looked at Wesley Moe too cause he wuz the May Queen. It wuz sure fun bein a freshman—fun for everybody but us’uns. I was kinder glad when we got tuh be sloppemores. That’s what they call us after we wuznt freshmen no more. When we wuz sloppemores nothing serious happened to us. I cal'Iate we wuz too wise to the ways of the world. We relected us some of- ficers. They wuz as toilers: President, Mere- dith Watts; Vice-president, Anita Oliver; Secre- tary-Treasurer, Cliff Johnson: Class sponsor. Miss Wiger. We had us a little party that year too. Then at the end 0’ the year we had us another float in the Parade. You know what a float is, don’t you? The reason why we didn’t do much when we wuz sloppemores was cause we were restin up from what we did when we wuz freshies and gettin fixed, to do somethin good when we wuz Juniors. First of all when we wuz juniors, we relected some officers. Jimmy Brown got to be prezident; Anita Oliver, vice-president; Cliff Johnson. Secretary-treasurer, and Miss Crouse our sponsor. We got down to bizness and had us a party. It wuz a wow! There wuz a lot 0’ kids there to the party an they sure got there moneys worth cuz there was a speshial attracshun that nite. It wuz a un-pre-meditated act put on by Robert Brissenden. He did the latest dance steps and misteps. Boy, Hezzy. it shure was good floor-work! Along towards spring the Siniors were startin to talk about graduation. It seems that they had to git caps and nightgowns to wear on grad- illation nights. O’ course they had tuh bring 11s in on it. (These Siniors always gits the upper- hand anyhow). They sed that if they could make a two years counteract with this company that they could get the caps and nightgowns cheaper. So they made us sign our names to it too. Whad- dys think, Hezzy? Do you suppose for one minnit that I’ll wear a nightgown to grad ill ate in? Not on your life, I won’t! On May the first, Hezzy, we had a Junior serenade. Guess you don’t kno what that is? Well that’s a kind of party whut the gurls all gits new dresses for and the gol-darned Siniors gits in free to it. They had it in the hi scool gym. It wuz all decorated with purty paper and they had an orchvstra to play moosic. I went to it but I hung around the refreshmint stand and saw to it that no one got too much to eat. You can’t trust these kids in town anyways. Well, Hezzy, I’ll be right pleased when this here year is over so’s I can cum home down on the farm again. I kno too much for these town guys anyways. I’ll be stoppin now. Hezzy, I won’t be long til I’m with you all. Till then I am. Yur old pal, RUEBEX WISEACRES.
