16 FEBRUARY, NINETEEN TWENTY-SEVEN SOPHOMORE-JUNIOR PARTY BIG SUCCESS The Sophomores entertained the Juniors at an Overall and Apron party on Friday, January 21. The first part of the evening was spent in playing games. The orchestra played a grand march and everyone marched out to the domestic science rooms for refreshments. After refreshments the rest of the evening was spent in dancing, the music furnished by Vincent’s orchestra. The dancing drew more couples than any other party held in the high school this year. Practically every one was on the floor, at some time or other, and without exception they all enjoyed themselves, possibly the spectators did too! Everyone had an enjoyable time and the party was considered a decided success, even by the Freshmen and Seniors, who were not invited but who regretted that they weren’t Sophomores and Juniors—for one night at least. — — WHO’S YOUR FRIEND? The answer is often given as lightly as the question is asked. But do we ever consider the significance of a serious reply? We, as students selecting ideals and standards, may pause for a moment to make a mental survey. Do we discriminate in our associations? Our friends are just as typical of us as our clothing, our speech, or our personal appearance. There must be a yardstick of a certain length by which we measure our new associates. In measuring our friends we also measure ourselves. — — POPULAR SONGS Show Me the Way to Go Home.................................Opal Ingles Five Foot Two.................................................Lawrence Henry My Cutie’s Due at Two to Two.............................Gerald Sweat Hard to Get Gertie................................................Paul Hamilton For He’s My Joe .....................................Dorothy McClellan My Katherina....................................................Rollin Webster Oh!

FEBRUARY, NINETEEN TWENTY-SEVEN 15 Fnrsil § gflim g§tt gr Moaner Slondleinitts liiliii:i|ii|:iliiliili;i!ii:ili!liili:iiili:ii:ii:iiiliiliii; liii.iiiiaiilitliiliiliiliii:il l tliiliiliniiluiiiliiliiiMi l;:iiiliiliilin iniiiliiiiiliilitliillianiiill. For the first semester we have an unusually large honor roll, pupils getting out of all their examinations. A noteworthy item is that three Seniors, four Freshmen and only one Sophomore are on the list. The students gaining highest honors are: Ruth Fuller, Maude Davis, Mildred Jack-son, Lucy Griffith, Ruth Milnes, Lester Winans, Lorraine Jones, Keith Brown. Marion Martin, Clae Swango, Thelma Ward. Especial honors for escaping the clutches of three grim exams are due the following: Ruth Bowman, Milo Churchill, Gene Fowler, Helen Jackson, Mae Swango, Dorothy McClellan, Bonnie Welch, Florence Wilkinson, Elsie Dutton. A still larger number were excused from two examinations. Credit is due these also, who excell in two subjects, showing either their superior mind along certain lines or that they really enjoy half of their school work, for if you cannot enjoy a subject it is twice as hard to really gain any recognition in it than otherwise and undoubtedly the following fall under one of the above classes: Pauline Beamer, Wilna Beamer, J. A. Bowman, James Carter, Faye Edwards, Opal Ingles, Marcia Jackson, Evelyn Leigh, Clifton Smith, Genevieve Turnbull, Margaret McLennan, Rachel McKee, Diantha Morrell, Nellie Minton, Amy Newsman, Bernice Newton, Grace Nellinger, Pauline Price, J. Mae Price, Alice Pierson, Ruth Schmidt, Samuel St. John. The following got out of one examination. Something to boast about even if not everything. Ola Ballentine, Nelle Chaudoin, Edith Carter, Madalyn Colwell, Louise Egbert, Bernice Fell, Paul Hamilton, Hayden Heaton, Walter Headley, Karl Hamilton, Margaret James, Ina Matson, Harold Nicholson, Anna Price, McKenzie Shultz, James Shearer, Minott Silliman, Margaret Swope, Gerald Sweat, Glenn Tuthill, Kermit Turner. Philip Beamer—“Do you go to Sunday school regularly?” Clarence Heaton—“Yes.” Phil. B.—“Well, it never did me any good either.” There Are Some People So Dumb That They Think: Oliver Twist is a dance. I. W. W. is a broadcasting station. Sing Sing is the Chinese national anthem. Babe Ruth is a chorus girl. A football coach is a new style of enclosed car. Margaret Swope—“Can a cigar box?” Marcia Jackson—“No, but a tomato can.”
