The queen ailed together her helpers, Carbol- c Acid, Tea Kettle, Soap, Fresh ir, and Sunshine, to banish the etested germ from her land. Under he vigorous assaults of these help- rs, Johnny Germ grew feebler and eebler, until he at last expired. is remains were hauled out by the treet cleaner. The concluding number on the rogram was a reading by Florence `ruesdell. Wednesday, May 6 Approximately 56 mothers, r( .1 r borrowed, were guests at t he uncheon Club meeting.

Two interesting plays were given, he first of which was \Education reaking Down the Barrier Be- ween the Rural and the City Child.\ eola McKittrick played the part of he city child, while Esther Durant as the country child. At the be- ginning of the play, the two chil- dren were openly hostile, the bar- rier between them being represent- ed by a wall of boxes. This barrier w as gradually broken down by fac- t ors such as free libraries, clubs, etc. until at the end the two chil- ren met as friendly equals. Other students taking part in the Junior Prom Opens Commencement Season The annual Junior Prom honor- ing the graduates of E. M. N. S. was held Friday evening, May 22, at the Airdome. It proved to be one of the outstanding social events of the season and was attended by ap- proximately four hundred students, guests and faculty members. The grand march was led by Miss Grace Simpson, president of the junior class and Leonard John- son, president of the senior class. At the culmination of the march shoulder corsages were presented to the ladies and rose boutonnieres to the men. Mr. Less Hazelton en- tertained with tap dances excep- tionally well executed. Music was furnished by Hartnian's orchestra. Delicious punch was served through- out the evening. Class officers were in charge of the arrangements for the affair and they deserve much credit for its success. Charles Dean, sponsor of the junior class was in charge, as- sisted by Grace Simpson, president, Robert Gail and Dean Aldrich. Com- mittee chairmen were: Alice Dur- land, entertainment; Dorothy Stew- art, decorations; Virginia Brooks, refreshments and Sarah Hewitt, re- ception. play were: Orvilla Jones, Alice Dun- lap, Winnifred Stillwell, Violet Still- well, Leona Isaacs, Edna Brockway, and Virginia O'Neill.

Leola McKittrick and Georgia Thompson were applicants for the position. Wednesday, May 20 Grace Hansen presided at the luncheon because of the absence of the president, 'Ruth Marriage. Miss Daggett was chairman of the enter- tainment committee. Mrs. E. E. Sande and four of her girl scouts and girl reserves pro- vided an excellent program, which consisted of solos by Margaret Ald- rich; a dialogue entitled \Comedies of Camp Life\ by Jean Guthard and Betty Brown; and a talk by Ruby Pinnick on her appreciation of the privileges of camp life. The program was not only exceed- ingly interesting, but it stimulated our interest in the activities of that very worthwhile organization—the girl scouts. Wednesday, May 27 Because of threatening weather the luncheon was held in the Com- mercial Club instead of in the South Park, as had been planned. Leonard Johnson was chairman of the entertainment committee, and his assistants were Orvilla Jones, Laurence Aber, Thelma Hy- att, Gledys Wagner, and Marvin Klampe. Picnic stunts were the features of the program. Egg races, and jumping relays caused a great deal of merriment to both spectators and participants. LORD HELPUS SEZ Miss Hazel Trescott during Hy- giene class: The trunk is the mid- dle of the body. Little Boy: Say, teacher, you ought to go to the circus and see the elephant. Mr. Shunk: If the one who is absent will speak up I'll be able to take the roll quicker. \I hear Joel was kicked out of Hygiene class last week.\ \How come?\ \They caught him counting his ribs during an exam.\ Prof. Foote (explaining a diffi- cult problem): Now you watch the board closely and I'll run through it again.\ In Idaho potatoes are being done up in tin foil. Next we support they will be throwing in a gas mask with each bag of onions. Drink Deep With zephyrs mild Let's fill a lung, Joy is here— For spring has sprung! Heard in Music 13 Miss Nagel who was directing the class in singing: But the class isn't singing with us.\ Miss Cress: Then we are singing a solo. Laugh and the class laughs with you—but you get a \D\ alone. The cut system is all right, but watch out that it doesn't slice you right out of school. A Belgian student was relating his experience in studing the Eng- lish language. \When I discovered that if I was quick I was fast,\ he said, \and that if I was tied I was fast, if I spent too freely I was fast, and that not to eat was to fast, I was discouraged. But when I came across the sentence, 'The first one wone one one-dollar prize,' I gave up trying to learn English.\ Orvilla: Can you drive with one hand? Leonard: I sure can. Orvilla: Then have an apple. Klampe: I can't understand why Orvilla and Johnson have so many fights and still go together. Thelma: Why he's studying to be make-up man on the Lover's matri- monial Gazette. The only thing that keeps some people from talking their heads off is their remarkable physique. Mr. Abbott: Walker, tell what you know about the Indian race. Walker: I wasn't there, I went to the baseball game. If For Students (With apologies to Kipling) If you can sit through all two hour classes And remember all that's said and done. If you can master all assignments given And besides all this, can have some fun. If you can fool each one of your instructors Make him believe that he's the only one You'll be uppermost in his good graces. And—what is more—you'll get an A, my son. Edna Brockway. Ruth Marriage: What insect re- quires the least nourishment? Willie: The Moth—it eats holes. The hard boiled can have soft heads. Winter time for most flappers is one long shiver. SPRING SHORT STORY Awakened by the gladsome chirp- ing of a robin, warmed by a bril- liant sun and fanned by a gentle May breeze, the man with spring- time stirring in his blood sat up, rubbed his eyes, stretched, and— turned over and went to sleep again! Parents push and teachers pull. No wonder some boneheads grad- uate. Mr. Shunk: How long can a per- son live without brains? Klampe (unconsciously): Let's see—How old am I? Mr. Hawkes: Miss Stevenson says she's 25. Do you believe that? Miss Rich: It may be true; she's stuck to the same story all the years I've known her. Have any of you noticed any change in \Swede\ Swanson since he was escorted home by the speed cop last Tuesady evening? While he was taking in the town on the south side, on his motorcycle (with no lights), he accidentally met the speed cop. After asking \Swede\ not to drive without lights again, the policeman very graciously es- corted him home. Twelve girls from the 8th grade of the Garfield school, made their first public tap dancing appearance at their school May 5, as a portion of the music day program. This class has been under the direction of Evelyn Rhodes, for the last four and one - half months. Prior to April 15, they were in- structed in physical education only, but since that date they have been receiving tap dancing lessons. Experience is a wonderful teach- er but her tuition is so darn high.
