THE SENIUH ELI-X55 SENIUH ACTIVITIES O A Senior finds his calendar ex- ceedingly full of social events, and realizes the important part these so- cial gatherings play in bringing him close to the friends he will remember in later years. I Heading the list of important activities presented by the Iune Class of '38 was the Senior-New Senior Party. At 2:45 on November 23 curtains opened in the auditorium disclosing our mistress of ceremonies, Dorothy Nolan, who welcomed us all. The performance that followed, made up of such offerings as tap- dancing, a Charlie McCarthy act, impersonations, the Big Apple dance, and a number of other acts, was a grand success. Dorothy then told us to change into our costumes and to come to the masquerade ball in the gymnasium. The costumes worn by Genevieve Tully and Marian Warren were selected as the most outstanding ones in the grand march. Q A senior in order to make him- self distinctive usually wears a pin showing his status. The Iune Class of '38 decided on a small pin of royal blue and white with '38 in the center. I On March 8 we made a great discovery: we uncovered great talent among both the Seniors and under- classmen. As a result the Variety Show of 1938 was considered one of the best shows ever given in Blewett High. Each act in turn proved to be excellent, On the program were such numbers as a toe ballet, the kiddie hour, Hawaiian song-s, the Floradora Sextet, and an array of acts that held our interest every mo- ment. I St. Patricks Day was soon upon us bringing with it a school dance. All decked out in our green we enjoyed the memorable occasion Miss Fairham's Senior advisory group had planned. C Mr. Seitz' gym team gave an excellent demonstration on apparatus in the auditorium on the afternoon of April 27, as a Senior project. O Spring brought not only mild weather and green life, but it also brought a May Day Dance on May 5, given by Miss Fitzmaurice's group. A fair queen, Virginia McCarron, reigned over us all with her four maids of honor: Margie Eckert, lane Kelly, Zale Doyle, and Geraldine Mathis. Other maids from lower terms also attended her. After the gracious lady was crowned by Gene Thornton, we were all guests who danced at the splendid court. 'C May 13th brought to us a rol- licking boxing match presented by Miss Coakley's group. All in fun the boys presented a convincing show and the girls sold refreshments to the spectators. C An exciting bicycle race, spon- sored by Mr. Frankenberger's group, was held on May 19th. We held our breath as the cyclists rounded the bend. Who would the winner be? I Along with the other activities on the Senior Calendar was the Senior Dance on May 26th. I The Senior Class Plays sched- uled for Iune 9th will consist of Go Down Moses, written by Fay Mer- rims, and The Last Slave Auc- tion, by Helen Hutcheson, staged by Fay Merrims, with an interlude of Ozark skits and songs produced by first-termers. O To round out the Calendar we come to the climax of our high school days-our graduation exercises will take place on Iune 15th at ten o'cloclc in the auditorium. Thus we come to the happy, yet sad, con- clusion of our life at Blewett. Page Thirty
