Harold Strieby wants to know if it will be possible for the boys to take showers on Wednesdays as they did last year?

She has been missing from school for two days. Well, well, J. Robert certainly seems to enjoy sitting in a Sophomore girl’s seat (I wonder who?). What’s this I hear about a couple of Juniors? (C. B. and L. D.). The Junior class had a class meeting Wednesday noon, Oct. 5. SENIOR NEWS The Senior class seems to be very popular this fall, for they have two more members to boast of: Ila Lamberg of Wilson higkr-school, Washington, D. C., and oneVof our original members, Virginia McFarren who has returned from Indianapolis to assume her role as a dignified senior after an absence of more than a month. Martha Ann Thornburg returned to school Monday morning after an absence of a week because of a case of tonsilitis. Development of the Senior class play is slow because Miss Hammon has had difficulty in finding time for “tryouts” due to conflicting class periods.
