Queen. They were followed by Ione Millard, 4-A Class President, and Ronald Hansen, and john Richardson, 3-B Class President, with Rosemary Ferguson. The programs for the Prom were in black and white with respect to Friday the Thirteenth. The decorations were up north with due sympathy to the Decoration Committee, who I heard, nearly froze to get the effect, but it was appreciated. Hats off!! Little june Dahl thought the Polar bear borrowed from the Gillette Tire Company looked like a guinea pig. At this point glasses might be suggested. At any rate it was a nice Prom. The Kodak blew itself on pictures of the great event, even a camera flash burst to pieces. The january Class Play leads were announced in this week's News also. Howard Smiley and Ieagine Smith will play the Senior leads and Ronald Converse and Ruth Kunferman, the funior lea s. The eighteenth: The January Seniors presented their Class Play in the auditorium this evening before a large audience. Howard Smiley in the Senior lead used some naughty words in the course of the production. Comments on the play, The Family Upstairsf' were very complimentary. The twentieth: The Varsity played the Vocats in the gym with the admission of ten cents. The Varsity won by a score of 28-7. The twenty-third: Everyone erase his books on the day before examinationsli' Such is the decree that is sent forth at the close of each semester. Incidently, it is usually obeyed. The twenty-fourth and the twenty-fifth: Final Examinations ! ! ! ,Nuff said. The twenty-sixth: Let's have a party . . . U The graduating Seniors had one in room 201 after their Banquet at the Eau Claire Hotel. Class Colors, green and gold, were carried out in the de- corations. It must be nice to graduate. I certainly wish I could, but June isrft so very far away. The twenty-seventh: Commencement!! Ninety-seven sad, or should 1 say happy, students left the Alma Mater never to return as members of Roll Call. However, some plan to come back for post graduate work. The exercises were simple and brief. Reverend Fred J. jordan addressed the graduates on What Are You Worth? Superintendent Keller presented the diplomas. The thirtieth: Another semester begins, this time with no Freshies. What a relief! Miss Krell strad- dles book shelves in search of missing books. The office is crammed with the newly graduated trying to get some post graduate courses. The Fine Arts initiated their new members. Games such as leap frog were played on the main streets. Courses in make-up were given with the application of red and green ink, Oh yes, they met at Murph's. FEBRUARY The third: It is to be written in this diary that janet Krohg entertained after a sleigh ride, or rather a walking party. A feature of the evening was the tossing about of human snow balls.

Part of the money was used to defray expenses and purchase a whisk broom, darning cotton, scissors, and a packet of needles for use in the Girls' Conference Room. The remainder of the money will be used to buy cups and plates for the same room. Mr. Pratt and Mr. Anderson came and ate a bite also.

That Mitclrell girl was always saying, Is this dramatic enough?,' Did we laugh? The thirteenth: The Stump touched upu after school on their Musical Revue to be given on the twentieth.
