We set our Prom Date for May 11th but haven’t made any further plans for it. Those were our main events but we had a few others and many good times together. We are all looking forward to next year when we will be the “Mighty” Seniors. Mrs. Schwartz: (while the class was studying foods): What three things contain much starch: Beverly F.: (absent mindedly) two cuffs and a collar. Joe M.: I have a cold in my head. Mr. Chinnock: Well, that’s something Mr. Cady: (Handing out themes) As you get your papers, you may pass out. It was reported that many almost did. Mr. Loff: Name an organ of the body. Beatrice: The teeth. Mr. Loff: What kind of an organ is it? Beatrice: A grind organ. Does my question embarass you? inquired Mr. Berg of the dazed looking student. Not in the least, responded dependable Betty Meacham the question is perfectly clear, it’s the answer that’s bother- ing me.” 23
