DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES
Fun! 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!
