LEATHER REPORT Fair and warmer .jm ....... — vT w VVqRiytors place in JUniOR PRESS This paper cooers the school like a tent 1933-34 No Charge ATHLETICS CULLMANN TO BE PROM KING Mau and Diekroeger Shine ) The athletes of the Junior Class contributed far more than their share to the success of this year’s basketball rfream. On two occasions Bob Mau came through in the last minute of play to put the game in the good old ice box. The first time was when Bangor played here. Bob’s free throw in the overtime period did the trick, and everyone knows what happened down in the Normal gym the night we played Galesville for the championship. In the Holmen game Ray took the responsibility of piling up a large number of the team’s points and his free throw in the last ten seconds put Holmen down 11-12. As Freshmen Ray and Maynard made the second team and Bob played enough on the first team to get a letter. In the Inter-Class game the Juniors took first place, with an undefeated record. Last year the class of ’35 was tied for second place. In Baseball last year the Juniors had more players on the team than any other class. All together there were five or six of the possible nine from the Junior class. At the Juniors first meeting of the year, Fay Cullmann was elected President and prom king; Wilma Goedecke. vice-president; Richmond Griswold, treasurer; and AFdith McEldowney as secretary. These officers replaced Lillian Jones, Beatrice Hanson, Rosella Nuttleman and Harold Jandt, respectively (officers of the Sophomore year.) It is always hard to decide who is most able to lead us as we hardly know our classmates in our Freshman year. But this did not hinder us, as our most able Albert Larsen was elected President and Robert Mau, Lillian Jones and Beatrice Hanson as his helpers. The Juniors should be proud of their Freshman president, as he is now president of the Student - Teachers Council. The title president seems to stick by him. Our classmates seem to like to hold official positions. Even in the dramatic club three of us have offices. Alice Griswold is the assistant director, Lillian Jones, prompter, and Fay Cullmann, business manager. I wonder what our noble office-holders will do after they graduate from High School. CROWDS GATHER AT THE FIRST SHOWING OF “THERE GOES THE BRIDE” Theater Jammed There Goes the Bride”, the three!' . f act farce presented Tuesday evening My ' Ly and Wednesday evening by the junior H class of the West Salem High School provided the audience with an enjoyable and interesting evening’s entertainment. The plot of the play hinges on a will left by Aunt Elizabeth , a spinster, bequeathing all of her considerable estate to the son of a girlhood sweetheart, and to her niece, Phyllis—a role to which Alice Griswold brings beauty and the charm of a lovely voice—on condition that the two marry before A ( . Phyllis’ 20th birthday. But the son, tfr' ZM Tom Eldridge- a part naturally and jfi Li effectively played by Fay Cullmann— since he has never seen Phylis, refuses this condition, thereby losing the legacy to her. Further complications are added by the attentions Phyllis’ Fiance. Lewis, bestows on her attractive friend, Natalie, a role skillfully played by Lillian Jones. The sudden advent of Tom Eldridge, who has been injured in an automobile accident (Turn to next page) . vu AJL

Junior Press right outside the Curtis home, further complicates matters, and a climax is reached when Tom, through his quick thinking and quicker punch to Lewis’ jaw. succeeds in winning Phyllis, with whom he has fallen in love at sight. Lewis and Natalie announce that they have reached an understanding, and even Billy. Phyllis’ young brother, and Sally, the naive and puppy-love smitten girl next door, depart for the garden. The part of Mrs. Curtis, the dignified but anxious mother, is aptly played by Jennie Griswold. Raymond Diekroeger gives a convincing portrayal as Dr. Curtis, the father. Wilma Goedecke gives her role as Beachy. Phyllis’ young sister, just the right nonchalance and youthful flippancy and both she and Kenneth Storandt, who plays the part of Billy, win many laughs from the audience for their clever lines. Verna Heck gives an amusing portrayal as Sally. Robert Mau, as Dinty. Tom’s diamond-in-the-rough fight promoter and friend, handles his lines with ease and naturalness. With their broad Irish brogue, Beatrice Hanson as Anastacia, the cook, and Maynard Diekroeger, as Officer O’Flynn, receive their share of laughs. A selection of popular jazz pieces played by the Vaun-de-Voe Orchestra filled the time before the curtain was raised. The coach, Miss Virginia Fish, the business manager, Richmond Griswold, and the two stage managers, Wilbur Hauser and Albert Larsen, deserve high praise for their work in making this play such a success. •Hello, folks! This is Mrs. Winchell’s little boy, Graham, with all the latest gossip. Flash! West Salem Cagers Share Honors for First Place with the Galesville Five! Felicitations to a dandy basketball team!

LU Ode To Our Teachers Teachee, teachee. All day teachee, Night markee papers, Nerves all creepy, No one kissee, No one huggee, Poor old maidee No one lovee. Junior’s Psalm of Geometry Miss Richardson is my teacher, I shall not pass. She maketh me to prove dense propositions. She leadeth me to expose my ignorance before the class; She maketh me to draw figures on the blackboard for my grades sake. Yea, though I study ’til midnight, I shall gain no geometry! The propositions bother me, and the originals sorely trouble me. She prepareth quizzes for me in the presence of mine enemies. She giveth me a low grade, my work goeth under. Surely zero and condition shall follow me all the days of my life And I shall dwell in the class with the goats forever. —A Geometry Student SPRING FEVER When that run down feelin’ Starts cornin’ over you, And you have no pleasure In all that you might do— If you feel all queer inside, And you’re grouchy as can be, You can be sure, at last That Spring Fever’s settled in ye! I have often wondered Why the misery I go through. Cannot be distributed Among our teachers, too. And maybe they would sympathize When I’m feelin' punk And their conscience prick them awfully When they mark me down a flunk. Samson: I’m strong for you, kid.” Helen of Troy: So this is Paris.” Noah: It floats.” Nero: Keep the home fires burning.” Jonah: “You can't keep a good man down.” Sir Walter Raleigh: Step on her kid.” Elizabeth: “Keep your shirt on.” Methuselah: The first hundred years are the hardest.”
