Why of all the fun we’ve had during our Christmas holidays! Now that it’s all over we are ready for business again. Now listen and we’ll tell you what good junior cooks we have: Anna Augusta and Betty Lyndes made doughnuts on Monday, and would you believe it? They sold like “hot dogs,” before they were cooked. Tuesday we served a meal, it being our first in 1925. Oh! it was good. We are very fortunate and happy indeed to have Miss Groves as a visitor on the campus. She gave us some interesting points on milk and also told us about the iceless refrigerator. So, Junior boys, get busy and make us an iceless refrigerator. We remain, T he J olly J uniors . JUNIOR NOTES John Copeland is at the hospital, but he will be out soon. Evelyn Whitebear proved to be a good song leader at our games with the other teams. Victor Edenso was run over by a car last week and had to stay at the hospital for awhile. ’ Peter Rassmussen, who was sick for almost a month, is well now and is playing with the varsity basketball team. Clarence Lafleur, who was sick for almost two months at the hospital, went home last week. Francis LaClair, one of our prominent juniors, also went home. This leaves our class with two less than eighty. The Juniors had a Christmas program at the Aca demic Building, Room 7, on Dec. 23. The President called the house to order and called for business. The Class agreed to send greetings to Miss McDowell, our former teacher who is teaching in California. Our yell leader, William Johnson, appointed three assistants for Christmas Week, Walter Metrokin, Royal Holst and Evelyn Whitebear. As there was no more busi ness to discuss the meeting proceeded with the following fine program: Recitation, Marleita Davis; recitation, William Johnson; song, Junior Quartet; song, Boys’ Quartet; monologue, Lila Crofoot; dia logue, Moses and Raymond. Mr. and Mrs. Copeland, parents of John Copeland, one of the Junior boys, and two daughters of Mrs. Leavenworth, our teacher, were our visitors for the evening. After a few songs and yells the meeting adjourned. SENIOR NOTES Last Wednesday in assembly Miss Groves gave us a very interesting talk on health, habits and what-nots. We certainly enjoyed her talk and hope to put some of the things she told us into practice. We regret the departure of our dear ex-Ancient History teacher, Miss Connolly. We shall miss her immensely. Seniors are happy since 1925 appeared because ’25 is our goal. It was their forward look. We all hope to pass in every subject in both the Academic and In dustrial departments. Wheel Holidays are past and gone, only memories are left. We Seniors are tackling our studies in order to down Ignorance. Ever hear this one? “If you can’t overcome an obstacle plow around it.” A slight enor was made by the reporter when he stated that the final score of the sports in the gym during the holidays between the Seniors and Juniors was 20-30. The final score was 30-30, a tie. We are very busy practicing for the Senior annual play. When it comes off you will see some real acting, both comical and tragical. We have discovered some new specimens of actors, too. Letter-writing day is approaching. We are all try ing with our deepest thoughts to raise our grades. So far we are doing well. Although the by-gone days set us back a few lessons we are team-working on all our subjects. We, the Seniors, certainly enjoyed the dinner that was served by the Juniors on New Year’s Day and we did justice to it. Juniors! Juniors! Our hats are off to you! Cooks and waitresses the best we ever knew, We’ll cheer for every one, We’ll root for Service done, We thank all the Junior class, Rah! Rah! Rah! Watch the Seniors navigate the soup, And clear the table with a mightv scoop. Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail! to the Junior class! Rah! Rah!
