a question about something. Oh, well, I know who this gentleman is. I remember Mr. Smith, our superintendent, speaking of him as the lecturer on social, public, and personal rela- tions. Our high school attended these lectures 100'Zr and everyone was very interested. I guess I will make it 101921 by going to the next one! Bless my intelligent little brain. What is this going on in Mrs. Smith's English class room? A trial and a murder trial at that! Be quiet Betty Gross, you annoy me with your constant chatter. Whatis that, what did you say, Betty? This is the Sander trial? Well, tell me more. Oh, Herbert has just pounded the gavel and threatened to kick me out if I don't stop talking to Betty. After all, he is the judge at this trial. Dickie Nash and Patsy Fifield are in it thick and heavy with cross- examining. Betty tells me they are the District Attorney and Defense Lawyer. VVell, I guess they are pretty hootingly good at it too. This is just too much for my young mind to follow. I'd better fly away from here be- fore they get me involved. I don't like that evil glint in Dickie's eye. He's desperate! One night during basketball season I braved the cold and went to the Red Barn? to a basketball game. l decided I could endure one game if Miss Morey could after teaching school all day. The hall was full, balcony and all, but I was determined to see the game. I hooked my talons onto a balcony rail an.! prepared to hoot for good ol' S. H. S., but I guess I didn't have to. A few of the girls were yelling to the top of their lungs. Then I heard someone yell Swish, swish, junie, swishf' I thought for one startling minute they had seen me and were telling me in a polite way to get out or junie would see to it that I did. I almost flew away but then I thought to myself, That is no way to talk to me. I am going to stay right here and hoot for S. H. S. Then to my surprise I saw that Swish seemed to be a magic word, and every time they said it the S. H. S. team made a basket. So, I joined in with the rest yelling swish! Thanks to my added Swish they won the game. While I was out flying around in the corri- dor I heard something that perked up my ears. Oohah, my love, he is stealing your heart with that golden tongue of his . VVell, well, well, I guess this is the place where I belong. I peered in through the keyhole and was I aghast! Natalie Rice was in Elwell Shepard's arms! What revolting things are going on in that room? And Ruth Alley is standing there as if she was enjoying herself. I thought Ruthie was Elwellis little Qahemj shall we say Lovebird ? And there is Miss Rand of all people! Oh, what is she holding? A book? I canit be mistaken, but yes, it isg she is rehearsing the junior Class Play, The Twig of Thornv. I guess even owls can get their reins crossed once in awhile. Good Luck, juniorsln One fine day this week I thought I'd visit the second year French Class. I have to pay those little Frenchies a visit once in a while to keep them in order. You might know that I'd pick an exciting day. Mrs. Smith asked Donald Williams to open the window a little for ventilation. That poor young owl started to stand up when rip---he was the one receiv- ing all the ventilation! I couldn't help hoot- ing at the look of astonishment when he glanced down and found the tear in his pants! I remember an old story Mammy Owl used to tell us about a certain preacher who used to put a Lifesaver,' under his tongue when he preached, so he wouldn't talk too long. It seems that when the Lifesaver was all gone it was time to stop. Well, I thought I'd take the advice and do the same thing so I wouldn't get to a jootin' and never stop. Since I never eat Lifesavers', I didn't know just what to expect. Mine has lasted and lasted and it is as big now as it was when I put it in my beak. I flew over to mammy owl and asked her how much longer it was good for. Well! How was I to know a Lifesaver from a button?

Class officers are: President . . Elwell Shepard Vice President . Donald Williams Secretary . . . Loretta Lunt Treasurer . . Joanne Barbour Class Adviser . . . Mr. Pitts Student Council member is Wayne Spof- ford. On the second day of school the Juniors were beside themselves with joy at the sight of their class rings. We opened the candy cupboard with a very good supply and variety of candy. This pro- ject has been a great financial success. March 3, 1950 was the date of the annual Junior Speaking Contest, won by Joanne Bar- bour. Second prize went to Ruth Alley, and Barbara Bartlett placed third. Twig of Thorn , the Junior Play, was pre- sented on May 9th. It was an Irish folk play, quite different from the usual high school play. The Junior Prom will be held on May 19, 1950. There will be a Prom Queen chosen. Lorraine Morey '51
