Do your Christinas shopping early. Martha Edleman, our “peppy” Senior, went to Portland to spend the Thanksgiving holidays. Senior—“Miss Judd, you did so well” Miss Judd—“I know it; I ought to be on the stage.” Last week Earl Donnelly was called home by the serious illness of his brother. We hope to see Earl back soon. Last Wednesday we Senior girls had a Thanksgiving program in our class room. It was rendered with “pep” and also Thanksgiving spirit. Wednesday afternoon during our English period each Senior girl had the opportunity of telling what she was thankful for; everyone had something worth while. The Thanksgiving play that was given by the pre- vocationals was very interesting as well as entertaining. We like to see the little ones get up there and do those things, as they get valuable experience which will help them later on. Miss Judd held the platform last Wednesday with a very interesting reading, “Mammy’s Lullaby.” We certainly enjoyed it as was shown by our enthusiastic applause. Miss Judd responded to our hearty encore by reciting a Thanksgiving piece. Last Wednesday, Mrs. Iliff, who is always so thoughtful, informed us that, “Everyone who was able to come to school Friday would be present.” We noticed she was unavoidably absent on business in Portland. Mr. and Mrs. Hall chaperoned 70 McBride Hall girls out walking on a recent Sunday. They took us for a long walk on the highway. When we came to Foley’s store Supt. Hall, just like a good daddy, treated every one of us to candy. We only wished he’d take us every Sunday. Purple and White! Oh! now we have it! The Juniors’ caps. They certainly looked good on the happy Juniors as they came into dinner on Thanksgiving Day. When they promenaded across the campus and marched into the dining-hall it seemed a never-ending line. We hope they felt as good as they looked. Tuesday morning of last week, when we were chang ing class rooms, we were all glad to seethe “Sophies” in possession of a beautiful new red and black pen nant. It certainly is attractive. They also appeared on Thanksgiving Day with pretty triangular badges which shows they are not back numbers, but are right up to date. They take no one’s dust. The Blakeslee family, including Nellie Rinehart, were going to Amity to spend the afternoon when their auto capsized with them eight miles west of Salem. Nellie was the first to crawl out of the wreckage; following her came Mrs. Blakeslee, who exclaimed, “Oh, we’re all killed.” Nellie, still alive, said, “Oh no, we’re not,” which goes to prove that you can’t kill a good Senior. JUNIOR NOTES Edward Larson, a member of our class, went to his home in Portland for his Thanksgiving dinner. The Juniors were the happiest class on the campus on Thanksgiving Day. We enjoyed the wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. Joseph Connors, the Juniors’ “John Levi,” ap peared in the game between the Hotshots and All-Stars as an end for the latter. Walter Metrokin, one of the Junior boys, represented our class at the Boy Scouts’ meet last week. He took third place in a mouth harp contest. Peter Rassmussen and Moses George were not with us on Thanksgiving Day on account of being ill in the hospital, but we hope they had as good a time as the rest of us. Did you see our new caps? Everybody was sur prised to see us march over to the dining-hall on Thanksgiving with our new caps on. Keep your eye on the Juniors, for we are always doing something new. We were proud to see Supt. Hall wear one of our caps Thank you, Junior girls, for making our nice caps. DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES Hello! We Juniors are back at work, as we have survived our Thanksgiving dinner. Who made that nice, big Spanish chocolate cake? Notour “Spanish aunt,” but Marie Bauer! And our pastry cases as soon as they are filled are very quickly bought, as they are prone to be very spicey, fluffy, and tasty; not bragging as we seem to be, but a reality. The girls preparing high school lunches this week are: Edith Gorr, Marjorie Montgomery and Marie Bauer. They aim to make them dainty and delectable. We are very enthusiastic about preparing lunches and dinners, thus preparing ourselves for our Senior year. Juniors feel very proud and are justified in this, as the football boys gave us a compliment by saying we were the best cooks. The sixth grade girls cooked their first meal last week. Au revoir, friends and patrons, J uniors .
