Mrs. Vxflde. Mrs. Randle. Mrs. Raper Mr. Peters Mr. Birky Mr, Raper Can? Q1 Jong 'lflifloaf on fly 0l e L'Wh2ltlS cookin'? usually greets your ears as you near the cafeteria doors. The answer is found at the steamftable where the delicious and wellfplanned meals are served. Mrs. Randle, Mrs. Raper, and Mrs. Wzicle, our cooks, are a very important part of ZfB.T. for they help keep our students well fed and healthy. Another highly important and equally eilicient group is our staff of janitors, Mr. Birky, Mr. Peters, and Mr. Raper. They tend the furnace, clean the halls, mow the lawns, and do many other tasks necessary to keep our building a place of beauty. Qur janitors and cooks have proved themselves true friends of the students and faculty. Page brxtv swm

A ime oed g graduation that I haven't had time to write. I know you want all the news so l'll try to give a complete account. Cur circus was a huge success with all seats sold out before each perform' ance. Everyone seemed to be Going to the Circus and I don't think they were disappointed. 'Berta was a very intelligent monkey., she crawled out on the floor and took some very good closefup shots of our queens and other members of the troupe. I Feel So Good knowing our patrons enjoyed themselves. Of course, with the merry making, some one was bound to get hurt. The casualties were Herb Savage, broken noseg Lorny Pye, broken wrist, and Hank Dolan, four split knuckles. The boys had to Roll 'dem Bones in gauze and tape but they will live. First day for G.A.A. initiation was the Hfth. The girls were very Happy GofI.ucky until they had to bow be' fore each oflicer. April seventh and tenth were Easter vacation this year and the last one for a long time. Vacations are The Time to Sing for joy because there are no worries about homework. The seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth were taken up by the seniors rehearsing their mystery play. On the twentieth a good crowd attended the performance to watch the transformaf tion of our students to a maid, detective and many other characters. Oh, the name of the play was Shadows in the Night . The Senior Band gave a concert on the twentyffourth and it was lovely, as always. On the twentyffifth, we had a base' ball game with Warren. Our team is pretty good this year. The track team was Runnin' Wild Page Sixtyfsix on the twentyfeighth. They had a meet at Kenosha. In the evening the Alumni Banquet was held and the food was delicious. The beautiful colors looked like the Easter Parade . I'l1 Remember April for the way it began and ended. May second, Warren's baseball team played here. I wanted Some One to Take Me Out to the Ball Came be' cause we think Three's Company . The orchestra for the prom on the sixth tried to Keep 'em Dancing throughout the evening. ThelMemory of This Dance will always be a pleasant one. On the eighth the Junior Band gave another concert. They are born music makers. I can't see how they blow in there and The Music Goes 'Round and 'Roundn and comes out here. The county track meet on the ninth left our boys a trifle Breathless . On the eleventh and again on the eight- eenth, Wilmot's baseball team played against ZionfBenton's mighty warriors. I can't remember the scores because the games were all so Long Ago and Far Away . The twelfth, the juniors gave the seniors a lovely banquet and provided entertainment during the dinner. Lookf ing Back Cn the Senior Class was very interesting and you found their opinions very revealing. Seniors donned their maroon caps and gowns for the Baccalaureate serv' ices on the twentyfeighth. Cn june second we will graduate. I can't believe All Those Wonderful Years are suddenly over and After Tomorrow I won't be an important senior but a freshman again. That's all the news and I'1l be seeing you all next year at college. Love, MARIE
