MARCH The frst: The first day of March is also the frst day of Lent this year. March will probably go out as a lion as the frst day was quite lamb-likef, The Seniors and the Faculty battled on the gym floor in the annual Senior Faculty game. The Faculty had some pretty fast men, but the Seniors won as usual. Score, 25'I2. The third: Plans for the District Basketball Tournament to be held in the High School gym are under way. Elimination games will be played tonight and next Tuesday. The fourth: History in the making .l l Today is the last fourth of March Presidential Inaugur- al and the beginning of a Democratic regime under Franklin Roosevelt, our new President. With the remarkable facilities of the great broadcasting chains, every United States citizen had an opportunity to hear the memorable service. The colorful Inaugural Parade, miles long, became vivid before our eyes. The great day closed with the Inaugural Ball in the huge Washington, D. C. Auditorium. The famous dance bands of Guy Lombardo, Eddie Duchen, and Rudy Vallee alternated with the latest popular music. The sixth: A general assembly in the auditorium second period dealt with forestry and fre pre- vention. It was very good. The ninth, tenth, and eleventh: The District Basketball Tournament is on ! .7 The competing teams are as follows: Eau Claire, Fall Creek, Chippewa Falls, Stanley, Altoona, Merrillan, Mon- dovi, and Blair. Eau Claire lost the hrs! night and fought for Consolation with Merrillan, but lost again. The team has had a wonderful record, so we don't feel bad. Chippewa Falls won the Tournament amid uproars and upsets. The fourteenth: The March winds are upon uslf Audrey Ojferman came to school in a dashing sport model which belongs to Chuck.,' I wonder what Mr, Helleloid would say if he knew that a mouse was in his class? And while he read from Bower's Tragic Era? l The jqfteenth: The Ides of March.l The Girl Reserves gave another tea, in honor of St. Patrick this time. Fanchon johnson and Alice Hartwell ate and ate and ate. Isn't right? The money collected was used to purchase crepe paper to make Easter baskets for the children in the Urtho- pedic School. The sixteenth: The Grey Dominos held their initiation party in room 201 after school. The new members presented two plays. Harold Bahlke in knee pants, found out that there isn't any Santa Claus. The initiation was very simple. Eating and dancing closed the meeting. The seventeenth: After decorating the gym Thursday night in green and white, the Girl Re- serves sponsored a Booster Mixer. Ted Erickson and his Melodians played for the dancers. Mr. and Mrs. Fred A. Lange, Mr. and Mrs. B. I. Offerman, Mr. and Mrs, William Vollendorf, and Dr. and Mrs. R. E. Mitchell were the chaperones. The twentieth: Eleanor Eddis entertained the Fine Arts members at her home. Assignments were given for the Fine Arts Musical Comedy to be presented in the future. The rest of the evening was spent in the fine art of conversation. The twenty-jirst: The first day of spring came with grey skies and snow. What a life! The twenty-second: Clare Watson has a way with dogs as well as with women. Repeated at- tempts of Lester Bean failed to remove an airedale from home room this morning. However, Watson merely whistled and the doggie left. The twenty-third: The annual Stump-Lyceum Basketball Gamel The Lyceum just ran around the Stump, The score was Z5-I8 in favor of the Lyceum. The Stump sent out such men as Law- rence Potter, Ed. Palmer, Emanuel Erickson, Arthur Melby, and Eugene fohnson.

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. I wonder if Ark Kohnen has found his hat? Eau Claireplayed-Agadia here and won 30-17, an avenge for our recent defeat at their hands. The tenth: Eau Claire played La Crosse here and lost 21-22. The fourteenth: The frst dance of the new semester was a Valentine Sunset, given by the Grey Dominos. Ted Erickson and his Melodians played better than ever. The gym was packed. The Kodak took organization pictures and we were dropping down to the gym every other second to find some missing person. The fifteenth: The Cabinet of the Girl Reserves entertained members and lady teachers at a Sil- ver Tea in the Conference Room after school. Five cents was charged for each tea off. 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. The dish washers had a good time dancing to the radio after everyone left. The twenty-second: Second period Mr. Hillier of the Teachers' College gave a joint speech on Lincoln and Washington. The twenty-third: The Band Mothers sponsored a musical comedy, 1t's the Girl, a great many high school students taking part in the production.
