president--Lester Frangen, Secretary-- 'Tubes' Bertorello, Treasurer--Berniece Gerstenecker. In November, a boom of a comedy, 'Spring Fever', was presented but the booms d1dn't destroy the reven- us of it. In the latter part of Novem- ber, Millie-Marie had the honor of be- ing basketball queen, with the follow- ing senior girls attending her: Pauline Schmerbauch, Virginia Koch, and Eloise Schoon. Soon afterward our good pal Audrey left us for greater St. Louis and Mike Ebl. Eloise Schoon was then chosen to take her place as president. At present, the seniors are look- ing forward to the thought of Commence- ment. They are eagerly anticipating this, for it is the beginning of the greatest drama, LIFE.

LESTER FRANGEN, who owns the Troy Dairy, first man on the program is running for Governor of Illinois on the Republican ticket so he thought that he would talk over the radio in order to get accustomed to it. Next is our old classmate, LAVERN CAPELLE, and she says in her feminine voice but with a determined look on her face, 'I'm that 'scoop reporter' of the Edwardsville Intelligencer. ELOISE SCHOON follows her and she is now an opera singer and is going on the road and will give a one-evening performance in her home town. MR.
