Treasurer gem-Y E Qur livey luniors And the seniors, swaying gently After dinner, murmur faintly, We look toward you, friendly juniors You've done us very proud. ANG! Theyfre off! Crowding close to the sen- iors in the '40 Crusader sweepstakes, the Juniors raced through the first six weeks pausing only to elect Bob Renn president, Mary Margaret Felt, vice-president, Virginia Baker secretary, and Bob Stewart treasurer. After taking the first hurdle in the form of six- weeks' examinations, they cast a shoe in the form of a '41 class ring, which many needed to continue the race. Running neck and neck they' rounded the se- mester exams, where some were left far behind. Down the turf they sped. each facing literature and American government hazards with the deter- mination to keep in the money. Coming into the second lap, the racers, urged on by head sponsor Lynn Randels, Misses Ruth Payne and Margaret Coleman, and Mrs. Ruth Merryman, began chanting get your tickets here for the Junior Jive. Bets- were placed at the penny throw, chances were taken at the bingo booth, and predications for bright futures were made by Madam Jive. Racing around the corner to the J'ive Inn time out was taken for the pause that refreshes, then on to the beauty salon in hopes of facial improvement. With 18- dimples, mustaches, false eyebrows, and red noses the next stop was the Phantom Inn, where the Juniors forced all color from faces that gazed on live mummies and skulls. Ah! The climax for which all spectators paid to witness-Queen Helen Miller and Chancellor Bob Renn in the lead with Marceil Peterson, Barbara Reed, Maxine LeForce, Jack How- all, Bob Stewart, Raymond Rusk close seconds. EAR the end of the race, April 26, the Jun- iors called time out again and led the sen- iors way down south to green pastures to graze and prance at the Junior-Senior banquet. Having consumed Virginia baked ham, yams, and mint juleps, they strolled under the languid Southern moon to the prom. Like a scene from Gone With the Wind the ballroom was filled with swaying hoop skirts and gentlemen equalling the gallants of the Old South. The Juniors having used so much energy to make this an outstanding event gasped as they galloped into the home stretch scaling the final exams a few paces behind the Seniors who broke the tape. Now they will look forward with heads held high to a race which they will win-The '41 Fweep- stakes.
