Lehman Seniors Are
Top-Notch Salesmen
Record Of Class Shows
Unique Ability At Rais-
ing Money
By VERA WHITSELL
The Seniors proved themselves ex-
cellent salesmen when they so rapidly
disposed of the Christmas cards which
they were selling. Maybe this was
partly due to the success that they
achieved other years. Last year, when
they gave their Junior drama, the
class all co-operated so well in selling
their tickets that the auditorium was
filled.
If they heard of any new or novel
idea, the class always tried it out. Dur-
ing their Junior year, they decided to
sell “Banana Su’prises,” which were a
surprise, since they had never been
sold in this section before. This year,
they showed remarkable ability in sell-
ing “Kanning Kits”, another new idea
that no other class had ever tried.
Since the class has been so proficient
in their attempts so far, we are sure
they will attack the battle of life with
more spirit.
The Senior members missed one
of their classmates, Donald Brandon,
who recently quit school and is now
engaged in the Grocery business. We
are glad to welcome one new mem-
ber, Lester Fiske, who formerly attend-
ed school at Dallas Borough High
School.
The cast has been chosen for the
‘Senior drama, “Thru The Keyhole”, a
comedy in three acts. The following
were selected: Grandma Tierney, Jean
Zimmerman; William, the Butler,
James Whitesell; Joan, the French
Maid, Eleanor Rinken; Genevieve Van-
Camp, a friend of the Tierneys, Esther
Barnes: Archie VanCamp, her brother,
Ralph Miers; Mary , Tierney, June
} Shaw; Jim Tierney, her brother, Roger
| Williams. George Allen, friend of Jim
Tierney. Allen Kittle.

Humorous Sketches
“The Colors Of Man”
Man is a very colorful creature—He
is tickled pink, grows green with envy,
turns purple with rage, is quite white
when his wife finds him out, he gets
up with a brown taste in his mouth,
acquires a black eye now and then, gets
the blues and is his face red when he
overdraws at the bank?
What Would Happen If?
Franklin was a highway instead of
a Hemingway?
Wilma was a Bracelet instead of a
{ Brace?
Helen was a Wind
Breeza?
Sadie was Black instead of Brown
Roahannah was a dressmaker in-
stead of a Shoemaker?
What's This?
I gazed into her dark and glowing
eyes. Her lips were saying those three
wonderful words I had waited for so
long. I could not believe it and yet it
was true. Again she said fulfilling the
{dream of my life, “No Geometry As-
signment”.
