 Junior Class (Dfficers Violate Anderson Lisle Brant well Hugh Anderson Friday dawned dismally for the Junior class reporter whose material for the Souvenir issue was due at neon. She came to school with a heavy heart, after trying in vain to write a report. Site realized the importance of making this re- port come up to the high standards of her most honorable class. Her head was empty, as she had given all her information to Brother Terry the previous day, in a fatal exam.

We all became actors and ac- tresses; we were sure some performers. Wilmer Jensen sent chills down your back as tho “Wild Man Direct Front Borneo. Pauline Shorten, as the tallest living woman and Net Watson as Baby Etts, the fattest person in the world, brought roars of laughter front everyone. The boys were great. You would swear that David.
