All is quiet around RMHS now that the second semester is well on its way, that is in every class' but French L For three months the whole class has been calling Joy Jones, Mademoiselle. A few days ago one of the girls addressed Mademoiselle Craighill with, “We’ve got a new Madame. One besides Madame Marilyn Ezzlle.” The whole class was thrown in to utter confusion! “Une autre Madame?” “Gui!” “Qui!” “Mademoiselle Joie Jones!” “Vraiment?” “Quand?” “Since November,” Joy told the class. Miss Craighill, upon seeing her mistake, said to the whole class, “And here we’ve been calling her Mademoiselle for three months and she was a Madame the whole time. Triste, n’est-ce pas?” Galling Cards Reveal Seniors’ Full Names • Senior calling cards make con versation among the members of the class of 1952.
