Said the friend: Just you go up to the boss, Sam}, and say: 'Look here, boss, you must give ne a raise, or el3e I'll-----' Say it just like that; then he'll think you mean to leave unless you get the raise.

„ . ■ u »ts our t’xrn to give the Freshman-Sophomore party. After serving then to a banquet supner, we initiated them in u manner similar to the wny we were initiated with the addition of many humun(?) bones and more scares. Again we ehose a skating party for one of our parties. This time we journeyed to the Rainbow Gardens at Goguac Lake, Battle Creek, and I'm sure that everyone hrd a splendid tine. The third party of the ye r w s the cheapest, but did we have fual It was in the form of a picnic at Goguac Lake, and was held the afternoon before the lri3t of the Semester Exams. The weather was hot, and nearly everyone enjoyed a swim. During our Sophomore year, the class had two candy sales, netting around $5.00. Here we ire, possdssing the name of Juniors, with only one more year, and we will be graduates. But let’s forget that and discuss our Junior year. The election of Junior class officers resulted thus: President--Irnn Shumway Vice-President--Hed Martinson Secretary—Bert Shedd Treasurer—Harold tlcCrndless Did you ask if the Juniors enjoy ski ting parties? They certainly do and the statement needs no more proof thin the fact that they had another one in their Junior year. This tine the twenty-seven members of the class went to the Recreation Hell in Battle Creek. (If you want to know where the best skating rink is ask a .Junior. He knows from experience) The magnitude of the rink made skating more |un than ever. It seems to me that Sophomores and Juniors always get the worst of the bargain for each year, they have to entertain a class. Does it take money? We realized that it did, so had a Benefit Dance nt Yoena.n Hall. We engaged a good orchastn from Three Rivers, served refreshments, and added about $11.50 to the treasury. But still we didn't have enough money so we sponsored c. Benefit Card party at the hone of our class advisor, i.ir. Martinson. This gave us a neat little sun so we started panning a party for the Seniors. What kind of a party shall we give them? Finally the class decided upon a Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet which was held at the Lyon Lake Country Club, June 1. The Senior's class colors, green and white, were used in table decorations, nut cups and prograns, which made a very pleasing effect. The banquet dinner was served at 7:00 and was followed by a short program. Then----- strike up the band I Ray Wilder's 5”Piece orchestra of Three Rivers performed their duty very well, and I'm sure that everyone enjoyed the entire party.

The eighth grade started with only thirteen members. but we soon gained Pearl Tudor, making fourteen. Miss Ash was our class adviser and our officers were Dorothy Rice, president; Bob Sizeland, vice-president; and ScottRandall, secretary and treasurer. Scott was ut first unwilling to uccept the office because he said he didn't have a watch to keep the minutes of the meeting. Our classes were to have two parties but because of bud behavior we only had one joint party. This was a Christmas party (t Yoenan Hall. The eighth grado, however, had a party of all winter sports at Dorothy Rice's.
