Show Junior Class Officers Violate Anderson Lisle Bramwell Hugh Anderson Friday dawned dismally for the Junior class reporter whose material for the Souvenir issue was due at noon. She came to school with a heavy heart, after trying in vain to write a report. She realized the importance of making this re- port come up to the high standards of her most honorable class. Her head was empty, as she had given all her information to Brother Terry the previous day, in a fatal exam. All morning she dodged the editor; but she knew that nothing but a miracle could save her from her inevitable fate. Slowly, but surely noon was approaching. Already she could see the editor waiting at the door of her fourth period class. The miracle came. As she stumbled to the door her tablet fell and in picking it up she found the following letter: Weber Academy, May 8, 1914. Dear Florence: At last I am answering your many questions about our class. We've had some great times this winter. I wish you could have been with us-so does James A., I'll bet. There are some lively members in our class who are up to all kinds of fun. About seventy in all. Just a nice crowd for a class party. Yes, these modern dances have reached this little "burg." We nearly all know how to "hesitate" and Ellen and Bryan are quite professional at tangoing. We have quite a variety of species in our class ranging in size from Cora Kasius, who is 6 foot 1, to Warren Hussy, who is 3 foot 2. We also have a variety of intellects, ranging from the giant Le Roy Leishman (intellectually only) to dwarf-like Fat Browning (mentally only). With such a mixture of human specimens we are able to lead in every line. Early in the year we forgot our books for nearly a week (the faculty were impressed with this part) and gave a Carnival. We all became actors and actresses; we were sure some performers. Wilmer Jensen sent chills down your back as the '' Wild Man Direct From Borneo.'' Pauline Shorten, as the tallest living woman and Net Watson as Baby Etts, the fattest person in the world, brought roars of laughter from everyone. The boys were great. You would swear that David, Venice, Avelan and a number of others were direct descendants of Ham. In the big show the girls showed their ability as fancy dancers. I'm enclosing a picture of one crowd; they gave a clown act of singing and dancing I think you know most of these girls. They are some of the best looking girls in the school. You will remember that I was telling you a while ago how the Seniors said junior debating Team Wilmer Jensen Cora Kasius LeRoy Leishman they were going to win the debating cup. But they didn't. The Juniors won it and the poor Seniors have to leave school without having had it once. I am enclosing a picture of our debating team. Two of our debators also won honors on the school team. Our next great victory was in winning the championship of the school in basketball, for which we were presented with a beautiful purple and white pennant. Wilmer Jensen brought honors to the class when he won the Cottle-Henderson gold medal. It was Junior morning Wednesday, March 11. Our class took charge of the first period. During this period all the victories of the class were reviewed, and the medal, pennant and cup were presented. At the close of the exercises our class song was sung to the tune of "The International Bag." During the rendition of the song some of the girls found it almost impossible to control their shoulders. We are all busily working making preparations for the Junior Prom, which is to be given on the evening of May 22. We are doing everything in our power to make this party a success, and I don't think it will fall short of our expectations. Everyone in school is looking forward to it as the crowning event of the year. Give my love to everyone. Yours truly, A JUNIOR GIRL |
