MISCUES What a year! Hiscues have been full and plent7 ', for s’ire......Like the time we were Iiaving a dance in the Town Hall and two orchestras showed up--it took some skillful diplomacy on the part of hr. Horrison to straighten that out--price of peace, $2.75.......and the swan song of the Girls' Trio at the funeral parlors-- they wore revived later to sing Java Jive on the amateur show at the senior dance--many wished the zombies hadn't been resurrected.......tardiness at play rehearsals—the tine the lisping maid, Hilda, welcomed Rafferty with, V on't 7 011 thit down, :,ir. Rafferty? and Rafferty, without stopping to think, turned to his as- sistant and said, Yes, I arley, THIT DOWN! ...........the Christmas dance that didn't jell but caused lots of ex- citement: among the seniors.......Hiss Baker playing ac- companiment for the operetta in the dark when a light would have spoiled the effect on the stage-then Hiss Ryan shoved up with a flashlight and saved the day...... keeping the coke cold at basketball games with snow gathered b7 our lily white (frozen) hands.... .the wonderful class trip we almost had—the rcat White Way Ah, nc, 'tis beautiful to dream!.......Hrs.
