The Chipmunk 21 ACTIVITY Old King Winter blows around the corner and is upon us before we can realize what is happening. With an icy, shrill blast he summons his servants from their rest into active duty. There they stand all in a row before his Majesty, waiting for orders: Mr. Wind, who has been the King’s herald, Mr. Snow, and Mr. Jack Frost. All have their tools with them, ready to begin work immediately. First comes the command to strip the trees of their foliage. Off the Wind frisks and in no time at all he has left the world a bleak and desolate place. The tall trees stand gaunt and bare against dark, over- hanging clouds, the harbingers of the heavy snowfalls and icy rains that are at hand. And here they come—first, the sleety rains, leaving the earth a miserable place of mud and gloom. Then comes the snow and dresses the world in a gorgeous white robe of crystals. A queer sensation runs through our veins—a tingle which reminds us that soon we’ll be skimming over the snow through the biting, invigor- ating mountain air. Everything looks beautiful with this prospect ahead and the students take advantage of the opportunity. Soon a group of young people are seen setting out with skiis over their shoul- ders for an active day’s sport. What if fingers and toes ache? The thrills and adventures we experience are ample compensation. Our basketball teams are facing the blasts of their enemies boldly and coming out unscathed, with a great deal of glory added to their high school’s name. The Debating Club has inspired many students and fiery discussions are being carried on. Other clubs are active pre- senting plays, and earning money by feeding the eager spectators at the games. The “Lumberjack” and annual staffs are working day and night, and dramatics groups are putting forth every effort to perfect plays and skits. Strains of music can be heard almost every evening as the orchestra or Glee Clubs practice for future performances. Class- work has become more interesting as we delve more deeply into our subjects, and new branches of learning are being actively explored. The spirit of activity reigns supreme over the school. Although we look forward eagerly to the fruit of our labors, as we draw nearer to Spring we regret'the passing of a busy, happy time .

22 The Chipmunk NINTH GRADE PRESIDENT ORVAL McFADDEN: If the meeting will please come to order we will have the minutes of the past year. SECRETARY ALVERA TIMONE: To start the year right, we gave an assembly program on the twentieth of November. Lois Cooper and Carrie Mae Linn presented a snappy tap dance. They were dressed as pickaninnies and were really very clever. Others of the class gave a play, “If Books Came Alive”. On the fourth of December we gave a candy sale, and on the nine- teenth of December we gave a food sale in the department store. From these we received plenty of money to pay for our cut in the annual and for the refreshments at our party, which was given in the high school auditorium on March eleventh. It was a St. Patrick’s party and the color scheme and decorations were very well worked out. We had a statue of St. Patrick on the stage and the hall was decorated with green and white streamers. We and our guests enjoyed an evening of dancing. A few of the girls presented a tap dance which was very good. PRESIDENT: Are there any corrections or additions to the secretary’s minutes?
