VOLUME I. Lake Township Ee The Laketon High School Seniors recently enjoyed an evening of fun at Woodland Echo Farm, which seems to have been annexed as the Senior headquarters. The evening's « pro- gram of events included games, singing to the ecomponiment of the ever-popular “uke”, and making fudge (which with the Seniors, is a well-mastered culinary art). The Seniors are commonly called “dignified,” but that title will be put aside soon, for we are at the present practicing for a play, and when it is rendered in the near future it will be hard to class “dignified” and “Seni- ors” as one. We absolutely guaran- tee an enjoyable and happy evening to all who wish to attend and see the class at its best. After a well-earned vacation is over and the Senior Class room is again occupied by those “worthies,” we feel as if we could “conquer the world.” That seems rather absurd, but it isn’t, for we are staunch be- lievers of the following words: “So give to the world the best you have, And the best will come back to you.” Senior Reporter, LOIS SORBER. ed a TT Junior Class News Santa Claus certainly favored the juniors this year. Besides bringing us lots of toys and candy he also sent our class rings to us by Uncle Sam. We are rather proud of ourselves, that we can have our rings in the Junior year, something that no Junior Class in Laketon has ever| done. \ Plans are being made to start prac- tice on the Junior play as soon as a suitable one is chosen. Miss Wil-| liams is going to coach us. A group of Juniors and Seniors] were greatly favored by a prominent person in Laketon when they were given, as a gift over the holidays, books on which to write 2,000 word essays. There were only fiive and just call your attention to how| punctual we are, the essays were all is in fine shape by 10 o’clock Wed- nesday morning. Now that vacation is over we will have to buckle down to work in order that we may meet the future examin-| ations fully prepared. Perhaps ther re | will be more essays, too, but not for| five Juniors and Seniors, as they think, that they have had their turn and will | in the future, I feel sure, do as they're | told. We have no hard feelings, however, except in the two fingers where we hold our pencils. ADDA JARINGER, Junior Class Reporter. ren De Games At Laketon December 21, the Friday before va- cation, a very interesting basketball | game took place in our gym, when the boys’ and girls’ teams of Laketon played Wilkes-Barre Business Col- lege. A large crowd of spectotars and rooters watched with enthusiasm the girls’ game, which was a very and tumble one. At the close fo the fourth quarter the audience was surprised, but hap- ply to see that the score was 27 to 9| in favor of Laketon. Many shouts greeted the boys when they descended to the gym floor and began showing their skill, but they were greeted by more shouting when at the end of the first half the score was 15 to 9 in favor of our boys. You can guess the rest. When at the end of the game the final score was 19 to 15 in our favor, of course, the boys felt as proud as peacocks Perso rougn Dallas Borough re 20: men.

This is not only for the reading purpose but for pronun- | ciation and the meaning of the words | and also clear reading. As we have a new schedule we start school at 8:45 in the morning.

Jokes —0i— Two colored gentlemen were talk- ing about automobiles owned by their respective employers. “An’ den he bought dis new ’coop.” “You don’t call dem ‘coops’; dey is pronounced ‘coop-pay.’ A ‘eoop’ is what you put chickens in.” “Yes, sah, dat’s what he does with this one.” ey aelp Miss Hazlett—We should never do| in private what we would not do in public.
