Freshmen Irma is tiny, dainty and svieet We hope she'll stay 'til her schoflin'g's complete. Edward is a quiet, indus rious ladg As a. ball p ayer he really isn't so bad. Then there's Leo, one Freshie boy, Who's always foolin' with a trinket or toy. Wallace, better known as Major H0ople But as a lad he's just a sample. And now for two girls, one ight, one dark, Stella and Edna whom you couldn't part. Clair is mischievous and full of fung His greatest de'ight is to miake a home run. Glen is a stuid ous and brilliant boy, But his face is always shining wth j0y. Ardyth is a blue-eyed, blond little girlg Her head is 'covered wfth curly hair a-swirl. Marjorie, her ssteir is of the q-uieit kind, She d.oesn't 'seem to mind any dai y grind. Eileen is handy and can wave a he-ad of hair, And Ronald Hall can be coun'ed on to be there. Eleson can very beautifully play a violin, And in basket ball all winter, Floreine took it on the chin. Lois Nelson is also of the quiet and reserved type. And Ellen who comes from: the country Does all her work just right. Esther is agile and rather peppery , If she keeps up, a good athlete she'1' be. Lavonne answers to' 'Vonnie with -easel, But her brother classes her as the world's greatest tease. To stay in town and work has been her lot, But when Marcella has graduated, she'll not be forgot. Lucil'e is plump and very jollyg Lois Wirtjes loves fun and answers to Dolly , John Wirtjes, her brother, sits in the same rowg Why that one is so noisy, he ought to know. Some Freshmen's qualities can't be told in a line or twog For some a whole book wouldn't do. But this is just how the Freshmen Class of '35 Looks to a Senior graduate Of the year of '35. -Mavis Munson.

Music fcontinuedj MUSIC FESTIVAL AND OPERETTA A large audience gathered at the High School Auditorium, and witnessed the operetta, Spring Glow , by Harry and Garrington. It was excep- tionally well enacted by a cast of about fifty grade children. The excellent drarnatization and the col0rful costumes and stage setting showed that a Targe amount of viork was necessary to make this possible. The operetta consisted of three acts, the first and second acts being winiter scenes and the third scene being a spring scene. The plot of the story was as follows: Little Bluebird comes hopping out in the early spring to awaken the sleeping Pussy Willows. They ob- ject to be awakened so soon, but soon they lift the'r sleepy heads and S-ing their spring song. Big e- bird leaves them for a while, now tl1at she has awalf ened them from- their .winter sluimlzers, and so suddenly in pops Jack Frost an-d his Elves to plan a party. Tkey are interrupted by the return of Bluebird who te 'ls ithem that Spring will soon be here. Their answer to her is that they will not permiit Spring to conce ind sfJo'1 their fun. After Bluebird leaves, they again start to plan their paity but they are interrupted by Spring's maidens who have come with the crown to crown Spring on her arriva'. They are captured by Jack Frost and the Elves who take them prisoners in their ice cave. The Bees, Butterflies, Brownies, and Breezes, all com.e to demand the release of Sipring's maidens and warn Jack Frost of .p'unishmenit, but he is still de- fiant until Sunshine Fairies come and check him. The Brownies come and capture Jack Frost and the Elves, and take them to Spring who banishes them to the Northland. Spring is then crowned by her people, and there is much merrymaking among her people. Other miusic was furnished by the school orches- rtra, Gir's' Glee Club, and two brass groups. , BAND This year another musical organization has been added to our school.
