EAN !-w oes Q I 1 The Carnival On November the sixteenth, the liveliest carnival ever staged by the students of the high school was presented, the proceeds of which went into the athletic fund. The Dixie Minstrels given by the boys of the Glee Club was the hit of the evening. The antics of Miss .Xngeline Chrysanthemum Mezzanine kept the house in a continual uproar, Much credit was due Miss Thies for the success of the show. The .Xristos girls presented a Mechanical Doll show which was very popular. .-X witches' dance, coached by Mrs. Nelson and given by the girls of Agora and Aristos, was well presented. The gym classes presented a Pageant of the Nations with its Oriental, Scotch, Trish, Italian and Swedish dances. The pageant was staged before the king, Paul Utfenstein, and the Queen, Marjorie Sullivan. The King and the Queen were previously elected in a popularity contest. Their names were kept secret until the first presentation of the Pageant. The .Xgora-:Xristos Japanese Tea Garden and the Domestic Science Candy Counter were both well patronized. Eating places were always crowded. The teachers' rack of funny faces was a great success and all grudges were paid off. XYe neglected to see who was the most popular. The Arcade, given by the junior Art Leagueg The Tragedy of the Lighthouse, given by the Debating Clubg Funny Faces, by the Cartoon Clubg Hats and Caps, by the Ethical Clubg and the Art Gallery, by Arion, all had their share of success. On the second Hoor the Ag Club established a country store and Rotaro presented a show, Troubled Ghosts . On the third floor, the Radio Club had a radio program which drew large crowds and proved an interest- ing attraction. The other sideshows on the third floor were Freaks of Light by the Physics Club, the Human Zylophoneu by the Hi-Y, Forum Foolishness by Forum and a Harold Lloyd Comedy by Mask and XVig. The Review Story Contest The twenty-eighth annual Review Story Contest was probably one of the most successful in the history of the high school. The contest this year counted one hundred and Hfty-one stories, a few less than the year previous. The prizes this year were awarded to five Seniors. First prize to Donald Davisg second, Angeline Iiincaideg third, Thelma Ericksong fourth, Edwin Banta: and fifth, Mabel Bartcht. The prize stories were distinguished by their simplicity and excellent diction. A higher quality than usual prevailed. Originality made the stories unusually interesting. Fifteen stories were given honorable mention by judges and also some helpful suggestions. The judges were Professor Casey, Beatrice Atlas and Charles Lee. Page II?
