Editors SENIORS START WORK ON CLASS BOOKS OF AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT TYPE -— — Katharine Dillen and Robert Hinder Appointed to Head A ear Book Staff Organization Some time ago. the Seniors agreed to try something new in class books. The Itenr-Collegiate Press salesman was here and presented his company’s offer. It sounded so good that the Seniors decicfed to try n. This plan, as has already been stated, is something new. For the past seven or eight years, Mr. Reinbold, the local photographer, has been making these books for the Seniors, but this year since he will not have time to make them, the Seniors have accepted the Inter-CotfVgiate Press offer. This company .furnishes the blank book and the pictures foi this book. The class will mimeograph all copy to be put into the book, and arrange it just as they want it. This is an excellent opportunity for the students to use their skill along these lines. Katharine Dillen was appointed Editor-in- Chief of the Year Book, with Robert Hinderer as her assistant. Burton Niles was appointed Production Manager 1 Kathleen (Anson, Social and Literary Editor; Ronald Sharp, Sports. Editor; and Virginia McFarren, Art Editor.

They were merely appointed so that the book would be well organized and the work on it will be systematic.

Class News JUNIOR HIGH NEWS Seventh Grade The seventh grade home economcs class has divided into groups and are cooking breakfasts. Delores Sapen has been absent from school. Eighth Grade The eighth grade had a contest to see who could get the most words from Thanksgiving and the contest was won by Marth Cory. They chose sides for an arithmetic contest with Lois Held and Dewey Baker as captains. The score was, Lois 5 and Dewey 16. Rosemary Coy has returned to school after an absence caused by scarlet fever. Geraldine Byland and Lloyd Hoe derman have been absent from school. Freshmen News The Freshman class is having a party December 10. There is to oe an amateur hour, so if yoiTsee any Freshmen going around singing or tap dancing or telling stories you know they are practicing for the contest. The Freshmen band is also holding sessions for they are to provide music. The Freshmen Economics class served another luncheon Tuesday. The guest was Miss Burcaw. The girls serving were Joanne McCarty, Willamae Flickinger, Doris Martman, Lina Belle Vance and Vella Smith. The critics were Katharine Dillen and Betty Wolf. The menu consisted of creamed potatoes, buttered peas, orange pineapple salad on lettuce and chocolate cake. The rest of the girls made cookies. The rest of the high school should be grateful that they have such hard working Freshman girls. If it weren’t for them some of the students wouldn’t get to go to the out-of-town games. A good minded Freshman has a new way of working algebra. Mr. Fidier asked if he had the thirteenth problem and of course he had. When asked what the answer was he replied, “Well, subtract 20 from 30 and you get fifteen.” What is the matter Howard? Dta you have your mind on Eleanor? A certain boy wrote a theme in English the other day entitled, “How to Choose a Wife.” If any of you boys want information ask Howard Held. It seems a certain freshman 'dr? gets letters from a long distance. Who are they from Betty G? 1 wonder why a few of the freshman girls worked to get a bus to go to Pierceton. Do they just like work or was it something else. They say they don’t have any personal interest but we wonder. The Goo-Goo Romance is in the Freshman class as well as the Junior (only not so bad) as Marise and Arthur and Libby and Jim are proving. — Sophomore News The Sophomore girls will play (Continued on Page 3)
