THE PEPPER POT 7 and music for the orchestra and dancing feet seemed to run away with themselves. In this way, about two o’clock, ended the enjoyable time, as each fairy realized he must have a little snooze in his hollow tree before the tasks of th next day began. The Juniors are indeed proud of the great success of their first big business investment as the clear money was $101.58. Our hearty thanks float out to all who helped to make the ‘Prom’ a success because not without the ones who patronized us, not without the ability and willingness of the decorating and business committees, not without our able class teacher and president and willing cooperation of the class, the mothers who helped with refreshments, Mr. Beers, the patrons and patronesses and all. other outside help, could it have been such a success. We trnfet that all the guests had such a good time they will come rushing, with bells on to our “Senior Ball.” —Evelyn Williams, ’29. -----------o---------- Mrs. Beers asked Mr. Beers to copy the radio recipe one morning. He did his best but got two stations at the same time. This was the recipe: “Hands on hips place one cupful of flour on slioukL ers, raise knees and depress toes and wash thoroughly in one-half cupful of milk. In four counts raise both legs and mash two hard-boiled eggs in a sieve. Repeat six times. Inhale one teaspoonful of baking powder and one cupful of flour and breathe through the nose and exhale and sift. Attention! Jump to a stride, stand and bend the white of an egg backward and forward overhead, and in four counts make a stiff dough that will stretch at the waist. Lie flat on the floor and roll into a marble the size of a walnut. Hap backwards and forward in boiling water. In ten minutes remove from the fire and dry with a towel. Breathe deeply put on. a bath robe and serve with a fish soup. ”
