The Junior High School students lived a profitable and interesting school life th year, As the two youngest classes to be represented in the assembly, they frequently made known their presence by surpassing all the older classes in some ticket drive or community work. In all ways these classes have shown their mettle and have proved that they are quite ready to assume the responsibilities and duties of high school students. At the very beginning of the school year they organized the Twone Club, which met every Friday. They wrote a permanent constitution for the organization and as their first set of officers elected Richard Lindemann, presidentg Louise Hartmann, vicefpresidentg William Krauthoefer, secretary, and Louise Russert, treasurer. Besides providing for a staff of OFEICCFS, the constitution set out certain rules which must be followed by all club members. The club meetings were devoted to games, discussions of old and new business, social service work, and several other sorts of activities. The class was also very active in charity work. They raised money for the poor by having a caridy sale and giving money which otherwise would be spent on ice cream or candy. The club members also hld a lesson in salesmanship when they set about going from house to house collecting cards for the Municipal iSocial Center. They must have used good persuasive powers, for they managed to collect seven hundred decks The club's social activities were not numerous this year, but those that were held were successful, especially the sleighfride party. The yefarjhas been a happy and progressive one for Forms Qne and Two and we are sure they are preparing themselves for a worthy life in high school and college. 0 '29 J ,

FRESHMEN Croll, Carny, Braman, Ernest, Sprinkmann Fish, Blatz, Harper, hl, Uihlcin. Salisbury, Mr. Ciivin Tullgren, Segnitz, Lutz, Vairin, Conroy, H. See-'er PRES!-IMAN CLASS The Freshmen were very successful in their scholastic pursuits this year and were right up near the top in the interelass scholarship race every month. They won it in January and received the improvement award several times. The Freshmen football and basketball squads took the short ends of eight games, winning only three, but all of the games were close and the boys now have a firm foundation on which to prepare for varsity competition. In the intrafmural swimming meet they managed to beat the Seniors, taking third place, but bowed to them by a close score in the basketball tournament and ended up fourth. The girls also learned many fundamentals of athletics but, combined with the Sophomores, they could not defeat the more experienced Junior and Senior classes in the basketball tournament between forms. The class offering to the school in the way of an assembly program was a play entitled My Lady's Lace, presented by an allfstar cast under the able direction of Mr. Cavins and Beatrice Jones. The members of the class made generous gifts to charity with the other classes at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and during the Community Fund Drive. This yearls Freshman class received its preliminary training in putting out a paper while working on its two issues of the Academy. lt is interesting to note how well received both of these issues were and how much talent the class showed along journalistic lines. As future Academy stalf members their interest and talent points toward fine papers during the next three years. The class ofheers were: Al Blatz, president, Champlin Salisbury, vicefpresidentg Hannah Seeger, secretary, King Braman, treasurer, and the form was represented in the Student Council by John Croll and Mary Lou Segnitz.

THE SCI-ICI-ASTIC YEAR When school opened on Monday, September 18, it didn't take the faculty very long to introduce us to the serious academic work of the year. Our old teachers seemed to be right up to form, and the new ones might have been oldtimers too, from the way they set us to work. In the Senior High School the Senior class began setting the pace, while in the Junior High it was Form I that started off best. Throughout the first semester the rivalry was keen, with Forms I and III carrying off the honors for the semester, their point averages being 4.2181 and 3.1531 respectively. The second semester saw the lead taken by the Senior and Form I again, but anything may happen before the semester is finished. XVith a group of good students in high school, a staff of keen teachers, and real scholastic rivalry among the classes the school has made a fine academic record for itself this year. Those who were on the first semester honor roll were: Form VI-Walter Isgrig, William Oesterreich, Philip Crth, Doris Roethke, Mary Seeger, Richard Westerman: Form V-Carolyn Burd, Sylvia Lecher, Marion Nicholson, Charles Reed, Edward Schefferg Form IV-Fred Olson, Mickey Roethke, Helen Rohn, Kathleen Ziegler, Form III-King Braman, Champlin Salisbury, Hannah Seeger, Mary Tullgreng Form II-Joan Bunde, Marianna Cfallauer, Ralph Inbusch, Richard Lindemann, Form I- Louise Schwarz. For years it has been the custom at M. U. S. to grant special privileges to Seniors who show inf dependence and ability in their studies. The most sought for of these privileges is the right to use the Senior Room as a place for study instead of the library. Thus strong students learn to prepare their lessons under conditions which approximate the individual liberty accorded people in college. These seventeen Seniors were more or less regular denizens of the Senior Room this past year: Walter Carl' son, Tom Corrigan, Isabel Fraser, Mary Virginia Foster, Margaret Hanauer, Walter Isgrig, Beatrice Jones, Idalynn Kohn, Alex Luedicke, Billy Cesterreich, Phil Crth, Doris Roethke, Norman Rohn, Mary Seeger, Fred Usinger, Dick Westerrnan, Jack Wiener.
