Trenton BoaiMl of E«lneation

WHEN one speaks of the Trenton Public School System,one immediately thinks of the fine, modern buildings,

the many persons that go to make up our efficient andcapable faculty, and the hundreds of happy children thatattend our schools; but seldom does he give credit wherecredit is due—to the Board of Education.

The board this year is composed of a group of six capableand very conscientious citizens. This board has been responsible for many needed improvements in our schools thepast year. Many problems have been met; and, needless tosay, they have have not been allowed to go unsolved. In viewof these facts, let us not fail to recognize the work that isbeing done for the interests of every inhabitant of this community by this well-organized group. The efforts of thesemen and women should be appreciated.

By looking at the opposite page one can easily see that every student in Trenton Junior College has enough leisure time to become

acquainted with his fellow students. These snapshots, representative ofthe warm and friendly atmosphere prevailing in Trenton Junior College,were taken by amateur student photographers. At the top of the pageare seen the newlyweds, Carter and Newman, with their recently acquiredballs-and-chains. Newman seems to be thinking about something, or

maybe he's hoping this picture won't come out in the annual. That othersnapshot is a picture of a part of the student body after treats had beenpassed out by the bridegrooms. Notice the abundant supply of cigars.Those three snapshots below were taken on the Botany class picnic. Thethree gels with the swollen feet are Beckman, Edgar, and Swartz. Thatwoman in the center of the page—the one with her arms folded—is awell-liked teacher in Junior College. We aren't going to mention anynames, but it is rumored that she has a considerable amount of controlover those students taking any social study. Those three posing fellowson the left seem to think that they are important men of the world, butthey aren't really. Mr. Alexander seems to be contented with his cigar.That gang on the right is giving Newman a free ride. The cigars aregifts from Newman, Carter, and Company. Stephenson's car seems tohave a heavy cargo. It's too bad that John was occupied elsewhere. Heis usually not very far off when a group of the fairer sex is around. Miss

Mock certainly seems interested in the structure of that onion skin.

Thanks to Leininger for this snapshot. Those two girls on the right are

from Laredo. McGuire seems to be arising rather reluctantly from herreclining position. Maybe you're not using the proper tactics, Lindy.

In the lower left-hand corner we find our beloved staff adviser in one of

her moments of relaxation. Everyone take a good look, because this is

positively the last opportunity that you will have to see Miss Daeschner

in the harness of a pedagogue. That group in the center is the collegehygiene class out for their morning breathing exercises. The last pictureon the page is a picture of a typical student "snake-dance" slowly progressing toward the business district.

A SmLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY . . .

WOULD you believe it? College is just like awashing machine—^youget out of it just what you put in—but you'd never recognize it.

Byron Campbell: "I would like to look at your hats."Clerk: "All right, sir, and what size do you wear?"Byron: "What size did that man take that just walked out?"Clerk: "He wore a six and seven-eighths."Byron: "Well, then give me a nine, ten, and eleven."Mrs. Hill: "What did the framers of the Constitution do after they

had written it?"Charles Smith (sleepily); "I suppose they signed it."

Some people love to go to the movies and some people go to themovies to love. (Earl Griffith and E. F.)

Student: "Do you know the difference between a mosquito and adoctor?"

Miss Mock: "The mosquito, unlike a doctor, presents his bill beforehe works on you."

(Conversation overheard Bob McRae: "Just how can a boy distinguish a modern girl from any other girl?"

Bob Macklin: "The modern girl is one who has shapely legs and proclaims the fact from the hose-tops."

Miss 'Daeschner: "How would you define public speaking?"Betty McGuire: "It is the art of diluting a two-minute idea with a

two-hour vocabulary."

Howard Carter (while on a basketball trip): "You're sure having anawful time trying to carve that steak."

Mac Bonta: "Pass me that red liniment, will you? This sow hadrheumatism."

Chumbley (while looking through a song book): "Chet, do you knowthe national anthem?"

Chet Clark: "Oh, sure. You mean the 'Stars and Stripes Forever'."

Mr. Rissler is very proud of his new noiseless typewriter. She doesn't

even chew gum.

This is the second year the Tawara has been published by the Trenton Senior HighSchool and Junior College. Last year's Tawana was the first yearbook to be

Dublished by the Trenton Schools since 1926. We. the members of the staff, sincerelyannreciate the help given us in making possible this, the second Tawana. We hopethat it will recall the sunshine and shadows of the 1938-39 school year, and that youwill treasure it as a vital part of your school experiences.

S<^iiior Day At T. H. S.

PROBABLY the most amusing day of the school year was March 17.On that day the school observed Senior Day in honor of the gradu

ating class.

School opened as usual at 8:30, with the Seniors dressed in humorouscostumes. During study periods and study halls, the Seniors were excused

to roam the halls and disturb Sophomore and Junior classes. During themorning several teachers "fought fire with fire" by locking their doorsduring classes.

At one o'clock the students assembled in the auditorium, where they

were entertained with a humorous program given by the Seniors. Thewinners of the "fashion parade" were Velma Taylor, who received a

potato tied with a green ribbon, and Marvin Ramsey, who received apocket knife. Next the Seniors presented a skit of a meeting of a legislature, with Wendel Gentry presiding.

Immediately after the assembly, the student body adjourned to thegymnasium, where the Juniors and Seniors battled for supremacy on thebasketball court. The Senior boys who were not out for basketball defeated the Junior boys for the only Senior victory of the day, the Juniorboys who were out for basketball and the Junior girls having beenvictorious in their encounters with the Seniors.

In the evening several students assembled at Five Points for theannual Junior-Senior battle for possession of their flags.

Senior Day is a long-standing tradition in Trenton. For years March17, or St. Patrick's Day, has been set aside for the Seniors to rule theschool in their novel costumes.

HE Bull Dogs finished a very successful season in football this year.They obtained four victories, one tie, and were defeated twice. After

a slow start, improvement was noticed in each game. Their blocking andtackling became more effective, especially in the last three games.

The Benton game was canceled because of the death of Mr. Vander-sloot, their principal.

Three Trenton men placed on the First All-Conference team. Theywere Bill Clark, quarterback; Bernard Booe, tackle, and Jim Austin, lefthalf. Two others, John Austin, fullback; and Olan Rowoth, guard, weregiven places on the second team.

"SPRING FEVER"

The Senior Play, written by Glenn Hughes, was produced on May 12.The play, as described by the author, was a "farce in three acts."

The plot in brief:Mrs Spangler, a house mother at Brookfield College, was a "worried

soul" who made feeble attempts at restraining her students from theirvarious spring "arts." The plot centered on three main problems. Thefirst was Howard's failure in zoology and the events involved. The secondwas the "heart throb" problems and their various implications, and thelast was the problem of getting rich Mr. Purcell to release the check forthk new science building. Needless to say, the problems were all solvedto everyone's satisfaction.

The play was extremely humorous and was presented to everyone'shearty approval.

The cast was as follows:

Howard Brant Wendel GentryEd Burns Bill TylerVic Lewis Billy Jo ClarkLou Herron Mary Louise GrantMrs. Spangler Evelyn MapelAnne Purcell DeLorn StringerVivian George Mary Evelyn BoffmanHenry Purcell Vernon McGuirePhoebe Purcell Vivian MarrsMaude Corey Marjorle ScottProfessor Virgil Bean Bill MasemoreDr. Dixon Billy Joe Foster

More Smiles

JIMMY McKEMY described a dilemma thus: "You're standing on arailroad track four miles up in the air. A train comes bearing down

on you at sixty miles an hour. How would you escape?" Of course, theanswer would be, you can't, but one smart senior gave the retort wonderful: "Pd slide down the North Pole."

Miss Grimes: "What form of speech is skating?"Mike Furlong (in a daze): "Exercise."

Jerry Hopper was actually heard to say: "I'd like to go home somenight and go to bed for once."

Have you noticed girls will think about their stockings before theythink about themselves?

Bill Tracy says talking to girls makes him popular. Here are twelvethings he recommends to say to them:

1. Thac you can't bear to talk to that other girl.2. That you like to talk to her because she doesn't giggle.3. That she is the only person who seems to understand you.4. That there is something mysterious about her.5. That she is a wonderful dancer.6. That you will tell her something about some other woman.7. That you have been disappointed in love.8. That her eyes are pretty.9. That her hat is pretty.

10. That her nose is pretty.11. That her mouth is pretty.12. That her hair is pretty.

Paul Lowther took Jimmy Fitzpatrick over to his house one eveningto show him his new den.

Paul: "How do you like my room as a whole?"Jimmy: "As a hole, it's all right; but as a room—not so good."

When asked for a word to rhyme with silver, Charles Giles replied:"T..one Ranger." Bravo.
