THE PERISCOPE Page 38 Frank McCann, the villian lover of Ethel, almost convinces you that he is the real thing with his fierce black mustache and easy manner. The lawyer, Hawkes, furnishes a great deal of humor to the play in his freakish make-up and expression, “How extremely painful.” Besides giving the play on the home stage they took it to Independence and Falls City where the troupe had a great deal of fun and excitement making themselves believe they were a real opera company. We must not forget to add that there was a dog, “Michael,” in the play who not only did his part well but tried to help advertise by escaping from the watchful care of it’s mistress and leading a merry chase over the various streets of one of the afore named, Falls City. M. D. H. ★ ★ ★ (Ihe Senior Banner, Last November the staff of the weekly “Periscope” stirred up a great deal of enthusiasm and class rivalry by offering a banner to the class who secured the most subscriptions to the paper. The contest was very close, and the Seniors felt very proud of themselves for coming out victorious. After a long wait they received their prize. It was a shield shaped banner bearing the inscription “Seniors--D. H. S. ’16-’17.” The D. H. S., ’16-’17 are in orange letters on a black background, and the word “Seniors” in black letters on an orange bar running diagonally across the banner. They proudly hung their banner on the wall so they might feast their eyes on it. But some envious lower classmen evidently wanted it worse than the Seniors, for they broke into the High School and ravished it from the walls of the Senior room. A search was immediately made, but no trace of it could be found. It was not until two months later at the Freshmen program that the Seniors again saw their beloved banner, in the hands of Irving Balderree who formally presented it to the bereaved owners. But, alas, history is prone to repeat itself. The present whereabouts of the coveted rag of freedom is still a mystery. Is this precious relic hiding its light in some garage safe or floating proudly from the ridgepole of a private’s tent in Company L’s encampment? Time will tell. At present, who knows? ★ ★ ★ il tn % Jianks When the mobilization orders came there was only one student in Company L, but when the order came to recruit to war strength seven more decided to sacrifice the rest of the school year and perhaps their chances for future education, for their country. Among those who enlisted were Elmer Butz and Frank McCann, Student Body President and vice President respectively. Because of their leaving it was necessary to call a special election to fill their places. As those who enlisted were our star baseball men it was decided to drop baseball for this season.

The Sophomores, very successfully entertained the Freshmen in the High School building, Friday evening, October twenty seventh. The decorations and games were suggestive of the time of year. Autumn leaves, Jack o’ lanterns, corn stalks and festoons of Orange and Black crepe paper gave the High School an entirely new appearance. A splendid program was rendered in the auditorium by various of the class members. Late in the evening “eats” were served in the book keeping room which had been decorated for the occasion. ★ ★ ★ ‘pfaUcituc’cn JJarfy- Mrs. Arthur Vassall gave a delightful party at her home, October thirtieth, in honor of the Campfire Girls. About thirty-five of the girls and their friends were present to enjoy the evening. The decorations, appropriate to the occasion formed a charming background for the Hallowe’en merriment. The same idea was carried out in a bountiful lunch. Senior 3ltflhi-l]p The Seniors forgot for once the dignity that is supposed to accompany them everywhere and met for a general good time at the home of Myrtle Hayes, Saturday, January thirteenth. The house was beautifully decorated in ferns and mistletoe and everybody appeared in his best. Many undignified games were greatly enjoyed and no one need spoil his good time for fear of the “feed” being stolen as it was safely guarded in the basement by a vicious rat terrior. After all had enjoyed salad and ice cream and cake to the limit of his ability a number of songs were sung, accompanied by Miss Cartwright on her “Uke”. Finally some few were forced to bid the hostess good night and soon the remainder followed their example.
