SENIOR NOTES
Thanksgiving Day has passed. 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 .
