Human Interest The squirrel season of this year will always be a memorable one for Richard Toms. it was then that his gray cap was mistaken for a squirrel by his hunting partner, who emptied several loads of shot into his face . Tough luck, Tommie! Another diamond founds its way into the class when Betty Fox received one on Christmas Eve. Cupid is really on the ball! And who will forget the snowy day when the whole class took the afternoon off and went to see Humoresque. ' Nevin's wreck almost scared the three girls out of their wits and poor Nevin was afraid of having to sell his car—he did too!

Betty Bachtell, Robert Leiter and Joyce Smith were chosen to sing in the Maryland State Chorus in Baltimore on October 18 and 19. 1 he class Hallowe en party was held in the barn at Mark Frey’s home. I he mysterious appearance of a ghost on the hayloft gave a momentary thrill to the party air. Several members of the class rode on the school Hoat that was entered in the Armistice Day Parade on November 1 I. I he Christmas Alumni Dance on Dec. 20 was a big event for the seniors, who were the sponsors. Ihe gym was very beautifully decorated, and when a light snow began to fall the morning of the dance, the class believed that it would add to the occasion. Little did they dream that it would snow all day and rhen change to rain, making driving practically im- Dossible. It resulted in anything but the record crowd that was expected. And what should happen in the middle of the dance but that the roof sprang a leak. These misfortunes placed the class under a debt of $70. In March, the Senior P.D. section presented a court trial assembly which was hailed as one of the most entertaining of the year. (Continued on Page 14)
