THE ECHO Z3 SOCIAL NEWS When we entered into High School as Freshman, our Hrst big social affair was a dance at the Grange Hall, Oct. 23, I923. Our next event was a sleigh load to Clearfield. We held a St. Valentine Dance at the Legion rooms, Feb. 4, 1924, and May 28, l924 we entertained the Senior class at the Legion rooms. In our Sophomore year we found we were in debt, and held a dance at the Legion rooms, March I8, l925. This was our only social affair in our Sophomore year. Then as we became juniors our first social affair was a sleigh load. And on May 8, 1926 the juniors and Sophomores entertained the Seniors with a banquet and a dance. A dance held at the gymnasium has been our first social affair. Our literary work so for this year has been very successful. The grammar schools have taken an interest in this kind of work and have been having their literaries. The High School so far has had five literaries. INTRAMURAL LITERARY CONTEST During the month of March, Professor Norris announced a plan of literary contest within our own high school which was enthusiastically received by the student body. It is the Principals plan that these contests shall become inter- scholastic, but he thought that we had better set our own house in order before measuring ourselves with other high schools. After considerable discussion it was decided to have the first INTRAMURAL LITERARY CONTEST on Friday evening, May 6, 1927, in the Locust Street Building. An admission of twenty-five cents is to be charged. The contest is to consist of five groups, as follows :4D'EBATE, ORATION, ESSAY, DECLAMATION, and READING. A member from each of the three classes will contest in each group, making three contestants in each group. It was decided that all the ,money received from the sale of high school tickets should go as a prize to the winning class, and the prize was guaranteed to be not less than 51520.00 Besides the prize for the winning class each individual winner is to receive a gold medal properly engraved with the winner's name on it. This will make a very interesting contest. The judges are to be chosen from out of town. As THE ECHO goes to press before this con- test will take place, we only give an outline of the program below:- PRESIDING OFFICER, Dr. I-I. O. King, President of School Board.
