,W ,.,. , N .. . . l 1 Ihr Clmmn The Zluniurs in Clamp It was the night that the Jolly-Good-Fellow members would spend at Camp FREEHILI... It was an ideal camp set on a CRAIG about four hundred feet from A. steep D. CLINE that sloped to the river. For a week the boys had had rollicking good times, but they wanted MOORE. They were gathered about the camp-fire with their leader, Major ARNOLD, a man with a voice of a LYON, but a heart filled with kind- ness for his WARDs. A momentary silence had fALLEN over the HVOUP' Overhead the OCHS and OESCH leaves rustled and a FULLCerj MOON shone BRIGHT. Soon the camp QzinJMASTER's three sons-PETERSON, JOHNSON, and THOMSON- started humming. The others joined the chorus and their voices rang out in rich, deep HARMONy. It was regrettable that there were none to listen but wild SAGE, BUSHECeDS, a nearby FORREST, and MEADOWS and MAYS in the SATTERFIELD. As they finished the last chorus, the CAMP BELL pealed forth the hour of curfew. They flipped NICHOLS to see who should build the morning fire and cook breakfast, then with much joking they retired, BURROUGHed into their covers, and soon were in BLISSful sleep. The next morning just at the break of dawn, the boys were startlingly awakened by the BLAIR of an auto SIRON. When they reached the porch, they were surprised to see a number of junior boys and girls piling out of two rickety Fords. They had come to eat breakfast with the boys and help them break up camp. Harriet Meadows, '30 Sluniur Qrblztzs The Junior Class is very proud to have in its ranks such a famous athlete as Hooper Arnold.

i ' my lf Gil? Lilmmu The Eluniut Barrel uf Jfun A group of young men and women stood grouped around a large packing barrel which was being opened. These young people were graduates of the class of '30. They had gathered to look over the contents of their barrel of fun , which they had packed while in U. High. Ah, at last they got the lid off! First a large bundle wrapped in physics papers was laid aside. This they would open tomorrow. But every one was interested in what remained in the barrel. Yes, there was the junior-senior banquet, wrapped in bits of girls' soft silk dresses and tied with remnants of bright-colored ties. As this bundle was drawn forth, the memory of the fun and the thrill of their first school banquet filled the minds of all. They all drew closer around the barrel. As a large box was being taken out, they heard something rattling and making a loud clatter within. Here it was-the junior play with its laughter and applause. On the bills in which the box was wrapped was written 'The best yet given -and so it has been acclaimed by many. Such fun, excitement, and acting-yes, and good returns! ' Considerable packing had to be removed next-wrappings of numerous shorthand tablets, chemistry, geometry, composition, and history papers. There were two odd papers of special interest. One bore the words which now 'this book bears. It was the juniors' name, suggested by Mr. Pringle, their sponsor, that the school had chosen for its annual. The other paper was an order for class rings. There was also an old record book, in which were listed the class officers for their freshman, sophomore, and junior years. These were respectively, Presidents, Walter Bright, Glen, Shaffer, and Helen Campbell, Vice-presidents, Lillian Sage, Mildred Moon, and Richard Peterson, Treasurers, Harriet Meadows, Pauline Stutzman, and Irene Siron. While sophomores they had packed away mostly knowledge. But even so they had included a good-sized box. And here was the sophomore party, which had been held in the Old Gym . All distinctly remembered the games, the dancing, the fun, and eats that they had enjoyed. They were nearing the bottom, but the freshmen part yet remained. Neatly packed among the trials and tribulations with the seniors was the program which they as freshmen had given. All laughed heartly as they remembered the senior-day inspections and the green and gold ribbons each had worn in his hair. Here too was another party box. The freshmen party had been held in the-boys' playroom. The big features were games, a Charleston contest, and Heats . Then there were Jake's Jazz Jesters , who had won second place for the freshmen in the Senior Follies of 1926. - So now, aside from excuses signed by their faithful sponsor, Mr. Pringle, and Latin, algebra, general mathematics, and general science books, the barrel had been emptied. The young people were again ready to pack in their memories the barrel full of fun. Page twenty-four I S1 2 S3
