JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY On a bright, sunshiny morning in September a band of eleven gypsies started on a trail that was to last for four adventuresome years. For the first few months the trail was rough and hard, but after the strangeness of the new life had worn off it became more easy for them to continue. In the day time there was not much time for play, but when night fell, there were many jolly activities in which they took part. At the end of the first year they came to that part of the country which belonged to the tribe of Sophomores. Now life became more interesting and there was much for this small band to do. They took part in the activities, festivities, literary and music. Many days passed and they now had arrived at the camp of the Junior tribe. Some of their members had been lost, so there are only eight, but this small band of gypsies holds their own among the larger tribes surrounding them. Sometimes it is difficult for them to climb the high barricades that bridge the path, but they all remain happy and content. This small tribe has one more year of the trail during their high school career but are ready to face the future. They have elected Ann Noel for president, Juanita Hood for vice-president, Orville Sheneman for secretary-treasurer, Miss Douglas and Mrs. Diers are their advisors. [21 ]

THE CARDINAL JUNIORS Although the Juniors are a very small class, they have been well represented in the activities of the high school. The first social event of the year was a class party held at the high school. played the mysterious game of murder, and had a grand time. Social activities are not our only accomplishments. In basketball we had three good athletes, Archie James, Gene Baker and Orville Sheneman, who helped Warrensburg win the District Championship. These boys are also seen on track field. Our dramatic ability was shown March 31, this year. “The Arrival of Kitty,” our play, was a big success, and oh what a time we had getting it ready to present! Some time in May, we are to serve the Junior-Senior banquet. This event will finish up our activities for the year. We have all enjoyed it, and expect to do even more when we are Seniors. JUST THREE 1 f your nose is close To the grindstone rough And you hold it down There long enough In time you’ll say There’s no such thing As brooks that babble And birds that sing. These three will all Your world compose— Just You, the Stone, And your darned old Nose. 120]

THE CARDINAL 4- SOPHOMORES Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of high school students in their Sophomore year; No wonder their fame has spread so far! We’ll tell you the reasons—here they are: Of course we put lirst our pres’dent, Bill Butt, Who’s never 1 een known any classes to cut. Our vice-pres’dent’s Mike, or young Mr. Winters— A glance from his eyes tears a board into splinters. And then there is Dorothy—Dorothy Jean— Who’s the same to us all, doesn’t know the word “mean”. Next we present Robert Botts, William Disbrow, The “Laurel and Hardy” of our Warrensburg show. Boyd Binkley is quiet, but awfully smart, too— He drawls, but he’ll get there, we can bet you. Gwendene is a talker, as well as “hair waver”; For girls with straight hair she has proved a life-saver. Bob Gulick is new—just came here last fall; He blushes profusely, then grins at us all. Miss Retha Burdine is so quiet—oh my! She blushes quite easily, and she’s ever so shy. V. Kerwood as speller is Sophomore “champeen”— If you spell her down, you have to be keen. Mil Johnson is red-haired and ever so quiet— If she has a temper, her soft voice belies it. Miss Mary Louise has ability to be A future Jane Austen; at least, so think we. Have you ever noticed how innocent he looks? Bill Shoemaker doesn’t learn his mischief from books! Serene and gray-eyed is Marjorie Wickline, She’s always the same—no matter the time. Miss Mora lives up to her name, which is Good— She’s pleasant. Get mad? Why, she never would! [22]
