Prr.iiilmt...........................Daviii Wixo Vice Pr«»id nt.......................Jitua Parti xotox Secretary............................Dorothy Merritt Trmturtr.............................Robert Rhame I THREW down my pencil in discouragement. It was simply a mental and physical impossibilty to write up that class report for the “Risbila.” I took up the radio phones just in time to hear the beginning of Rachmaninoff's “Prelude,” and settled down comfortably to enjoy myself. I was carried to worlds unknown by those entrancing chords, and a sweet peacefulness stole over me as this was followed bv the strains of Chopin’s “Nocturne.” Everything but that wonderful music was in utter oblivion. Suddenly the music stopped, only the air wave could be heard, and then a voice saying, “This is the Minneapolis station, W. L. A. G., the ‘Call of the North, broadcasting for the Junior Class of the University High School.” The first speaker for this evening is Mr. David Wing, president of the Junior Class. He will tell you of some of the accomplishments of this class during the past year and make a few announcements—Mr. Wing. Mr. Wing: Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears. Won’t you cut yourself a piece of cake? Indeed, I hold only praise for the Junior class. Under the able leadership of Miss McGuire, we have blossomed out into the “best class that ever entered the University High School.” We firmly believe that the J. S. was a huge success, for our great economy could not have been for naught. We only indulged in two inexpensive parties and had a good time on our own ingenuity. Roth of these parties were with the Seniors as preambles to the J. S. We have saved our pennies conscientiously, —every bean, every piece of candy sold has added its contribution to our treasury. o---= 23 V-- ► I 27 |
