One day in the streets of Hamlin, known to you as Walden , said Madame Retamla, the Pied Piper, commonly called Mr. Ross, led a group of students and rats into Room 31. A William Whigam, as leader of the students usually stood at the front of the room shouting out orders, frequently putting an emphasis to his words by pounding commandingly on the demonstration table, sometimes his fol- lowers failed to take him seriously. Melvin Eckler, vice-president, stood by, together with Treasurer Patricia Terwilliger, and Secretary Patricia Clarke Qin place of Rose Peterson, who had been forced to give up her office due to a prolonged illnessj. The group held a fall dance in November. Room 31 rnade quite an addi- tion to its living thingsg besides the rats they had fish and snakes. That was their contribution to Science.

Once upon a time, the gay young Sophomores had the largest homeroom in the school. They were noted for their eagerness to he up and doing, and become upper classmen. They almost remind me of the oysters in the story of the Walrus and the Carpenter. The oysters were so eager to go for a walk and do things that at last they were all eaten. But we need not worry of any such fate coming upon the Sophs, especially under the protectorate of two sets of twins which they boast - the Rockwells and the Leschniks from far away Sweden, said the story teller. Under their president, Helen Decker, and Miss Breunig, their advisor, they were busy starting off with a food sale which netted oodles of money. Around Christmas time they sold all-occasion cards. They held a Christmas Party which was very gay due to the unexpected arrival of Santa Claus, U06 Petr Yln May they held a prom, the first to be given by Sophomores in two years, made possible by the cooperation of the whole class holding food and candy sales in the spring. Of course the other officers did a good job. As vice-president, Miriam Wagner took charge when Helen was absent. Loleta Stemler took all the notes of the happenings at the meetings. and Robert Burns took charge of all the money they were fortunate enough to earn. ,20-

' The ambitious juniors of '48 , began the Madame with a gleam in her mischievous .eye, did more than study for did they study?j, and among their Activities,.1bne of the most outstanding was their prom in December . They really had a King Midas touch, turning the fares to gold. but at the same .time they did a serviceto the school by sponsoring buses to the football and, basketball games with Bob Kelso as the major domo who had the help of some others to carry the program of signing up passengers and collecting the sheckels. Natalie Quick ran things a good deal in class affairs and sometimes told everyone what was what. ln the fall they held a sweets sale as a money-making proposition. just imagine! The Juniors held the nrst square dance of the year in April when all the hep-cats were there and not a square in the crowd, with the Moun- tain Ramblers setting the tempo. They strove hard to establish a cooperative roup. g 'Most of them were proudly showing their junior rings which means they will graduate next year. They are looking forward to next year as Seniors- They Hope! The homeroom periods are something-with buzzing going on and hud- dles formed over English assignments. It seems they exchange notes. Their King is Charolette Hall, with Lynn Whitford, Prince, Sadie Pier- son, the Scribe, and Gloria Zimmer, the Head of the Exchequer. Miss Hoke is Chief Adviser to the King. -22,
