WEINER ROAST. The first class event in the Senior year was a weiner roast, held Friday evening, September 21. Immediately after school was dismissed the Seniors went to Weldon Springs in automobiles. They were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. W alters. Misses Rcnich, Hardy, Gibson, and Roscnstcin, as chaperones. Account was lost of the dozens of weiners consumed, but was merely estimated. The party returned to town after having thoroughly quenched their thirst with the delicious spring water. SENIOR PARTY. After being postponed several times, the Seniors’ party was held in the gymnasium of the Washington school, December 8. By eight o’clock a large number of the class had arrived. and fun was started. One corner of the room was furnished as a reception room, while the rest was devoted to the game. The class was divided into two groups each of which presented a certain program. Mr. Walters represented perfectly the old song, “Everybody Works but Father.” Mrs. Walters, and the faculty were the guests of the class. After delicious refreshments had been enjoyed, and all of the dishes washed, all departed, having spent a very enjoyable evening. SENIOR PLAY. On Thursday evening, May 9. at the “K” theater, the annual Senior Play was presented. The play selected was Fanchion, the Cricket,” and altho we had everything from a fire, to Harold Pennington’s mustache falling off, to contend with, the play, as a whole, was a “complete success.” After two selections by the High School orchestra, the curtain rose. From that time, the interest of the large audience was broken only by a series of mishaps, the first to occur being the lights going cut. The most serious one, however, was the burning oi a large clock, when the people became panic stricken. Even Charles Zanies lost his head completely, and incidentally, his hat and girl, too. The school orchestra played between acts, and Ruth Phare sang three selections to an appreciative audience. The leading roles were taken by Ruth and Dale Griffin. Carl Lowe took the part of the twin brother, and made a hit with the audience from his first appearance. Maude Jeffrey displayed exceptional ability to adapt nerself to her part. Even the chicken knew its part perfectly. Miss Hardy deserves much credit for her part in training the characters. The whole presentation of the play showed much hard work and drilling on the part of everyone concerned. A large sum was realized from the sale of the tickets, which will be used for the class memorial. FRESHMAN AND SOPHOMORE WEINER ROAST A weiner roast! A freshman and sophomore weiner roast next Friday was the announcement made one day last October. The weather man must have taken the hint for the weather was fine with the exception of it being a little cool. About four-thirty a large crowd chaperoned by Misses Rcnich, Wcilupp and Hardy set out for Cacklcy’s pasture where the roast was to be held. After the arrival a fire was built on the hill, then they gathered around it and roasted marshincllows and weiners. Miss Hardy gave some readings also, which were greatly enjoyed. Games were then played, and they got their voices in good MURRAY BOOT SHOP 203 EAST SIDE SQUARE CLINTON. ILLINOIS In all walks of life we seek the best.

practice for yelling at the foot-ball game the next Saturday. There were plenty of “eats” for every one, in fact some had so much they were obliged to return home in a “Ford.” They returned to town about 8:oo o’clock, having as additional chaperones, some Senior boys. HAROLD LANE, Freshman. MARIE DAVID, Sophomore. JUNIOR WEINER ROAST. No matter how numerous weincr roasts may be, they always hold the same fasination as have previous ones. Weldon Springs was chosen by the Juniors this year for the weiner roast and so on a rather damp evening of October, Rosenstein, Ross, Renich, Gibson, and Dorris, journeyed there. Boat riding seemed to be the special pastime for the evening and it was here the man, strong of arm, was decidedly in demand. The fire was started late in the evening and then the feast began. It may be thought there were some delicate appetites present but it would take more than a second Portia to prove it, for not even an onion skin was left lor memory’s sake. A band of wonderful musicians, the only one of its kind, under the direction of Bandmaster Kent gave such heavenly and awe-inspiring music that even Mormon’s hair stood on end. After the grand finale, which incidently was very soothing, we started back for civilization once more. THE JUNIOR PARTY. The Junior party held at the home of Harriet Bcrkson on November 18th, was without a doubt one of the most enjoyable events of the school year. The time set for the party was about 8 o’clock sharp, however, some young gentleman, apparently having a decided fondness for chocolates, paid a very early and formal (?) call. A color scheme m Maroon and Gold was carried out in the evening’s entertainment. It seems that wherever we have gone we have never succeeded in evading the homely things of life, but lo! when they flashed our youthful physiognomies on the screen we felt that the worst had surely come. Our comps to the Animal Show caused our pride to suffer again, for when we insisted on seeing the long-eared braying animal, we found ourselves gazing serenely at our own likeness. But the general mix-up in names caused the worst distraction and Chapin went home still wondering if his name wasn’t hocnip after f.11. It was no geometry puzzle that the lovely refreshments were the biggest attraction of the evening, however, we discovered that time had still been going on and so after duly scribbling remarkable tid-bits in the memory-book of our hostess we departed at anything but an early hour.
