There aren ' t enough boys in the class to go around. There ' s no use of your go- ing dateless . You mean you ■want me to take you? What ' s the idea of trying to beat my time? Carrol just told me you asked her for a date. Tell Aunt Olga where you hurt. Open wide, Willoughby. We know what ' s best for you, dear. Listen you---you transparent one- celled figment of evaporation, you can go sit in some dark corner and stop bother- ing me. I don ' t know why we didn ' t think of her before. She ' s such a sweet child and not a bit giddy either. PACIFIC HOTEL Madison, Kansas — 4 ctiuitied THE LYON COUNTY ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, INC.

The girls have a genuine love for singing and thus we understand why the Glee Club is so popular. With a jest and a smile the Boys ' Glee Club gaily trip to their Thursday session where they prove that they can also pro- duce some pleasing harmony. Accompanied by Mary Burke Norton, LeonSchmidt gives a spirited rendition of Dinah . The blues certainly stay away when Shirleen Schmidt and Carlene Diebolt teamupfora duet on the sax and clarinet. Dorothy Kuhlmann smiles confidently at her audience as she finishes The Tennessee Waltz. Joann Wendling ' s leisure tinne is filled by practicing classical pieces on the piajio. Besides the piano, she also plays the clarinet. We students feel that the training re- ceived under the able supervision of Mary Burke Norton gives us an appreciation of good music which we vdll carry over into our future lives. Thanks, Mrs. Norton. GARRISON MUSIC STORE Emporia, Kansas at ARNEY-SCHULENBERG MOTOR CO., INC.
