In preparation he copies certain paragraphs from a well-known essay. These his uncle sends in under Eddie’s name. The judges accuse him of plagiarism. However Eddie himself has sent in an original essay under an assumed name, and in the end wins the contest. BUT THE REAL FUN CAME WHEN: Miss Marsh pulled her hair trying to find a professor, as one after another of the cast got sick. Paul Spaite took the part the day before the play and had his appendix out the Hav after. Dale gave a realistic performance as a distracted father. Bill Russell timidly practiced making love to Yvonne. Donna tried to remember to stand erect and not to cross her feet. Bob sat on tacks, and Weldon told himself to shut up. Pago Twenty one

THE JUNIOR CLASS ROLL HAS SUFFERED MORE CASUALTIES THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER CLASS. During the year twelve names have been dropped. Five boys withdrew before the pictures on this page were taken: Junior Adams, Lawrence Allen, Ralph Bond, Thomas McKee, and Donald Peffly. Since then seven others have left the class. Of the twelve, two are in the Service — Kenneth Clark and Ralph Bond, both in the Army Air Corps. One boy, Thomas McKee, moved away from West Carrollton. The other nine withdrawals have been for work. We realize that the demands of the Army and Navy and of factory work may take others of our number; but we are hoping that the remaining 41 Juniors may be able to continue their school work and graduate in 1944.
