Senior Dress-up Day The Seniors, in keeping with an old custom, transformed the life at high school from the usual studious atmosphere to a world of make-believe. They gathered at the Epworth League hall at an appointed time and rode through town in cars before they proceeded on to school. Upon arriving there they trailed up the steps amid the exclamations and giggles of the other students. he costumes were duly commented upon and they fell to studying as usual. Looking about the assembly one might have observed Mahatma Gandhi in a whispered conversation with Chief Kick-a-Hole-in-the-Sky. Over by the wastepaper basket Captain Kidd might have been seen meekly throwing away his gum—by request. In the corner Amos and Madam Queen would be discovered intent upon throwing things about the room. Cowboys, Pirates, Bohemians, Negroes, Indians, and many others were stationed at various places about the room, seemingly with no more serious purpose in life than to annoy the teacher in charge. At noon the boys, as a penalty for losing the I oka subscriptions contest, served a delicious luncheon to the girls. Pictures were then taken and Dress-up Day ended happily for the class of ’32. Cop: What’s your name? Truck Driver (haughtily): It’s on the side of the truck Cop (trying to read the name) : It’s obliterated. T. D.: Yer a liar! It’s O’Brien. Blanche H.: Where do all the bugs go in winter? Boyd W.: Search me. Blanche: No, thanks, I just wanted to know.

i 9 3 3 19 3 3 THE T O K A March 27. Future Craftsmen This year saw the organization of the Grants Pass chapter of the Future Craftsmen of Oregon. The club has a membership of eighteen students who are enrolled in the trades and industries class, and is progressing rapidly under the able hand of its adviser, Mr. Morse. The purpose of this organization is to promote good fellowship among the apprenticed boys, and to solve any problems which they may encounter while on the job. Meetings are held semi-monthly and are conducted in the same manner as a directors’ meeting of an industrial plant. The officers correspond to the staff of some such plant. Officers elected for 1932 consist of superintendent, Boyd Wyatt; foreman, Harry Hagberg; time-keeper, Eugene Lee; and gate keeper, Curtis Conner. Members who have completed their apprenticeship but who still continue their interest in their chosen trade are kept on as honorary members but have no vote. March 29. Junior Flunk Day On the Junior class Flunk Day, the class met at the Episcopal church on Fourth and D, at one o’clock and went to Caves Camp on Williams Creek. Many went hiking while others played ball. Hot dogs and marshmallows were roasted over a bon-fire, and the group returned to G. P. about 7 o’clock. Avis Hostetler, Alice Rush, Mary Har-lacher, and Harold Hansen were in charge of the refreshments, and Herman Henrikson was in charge of the transportation. Miss Thayer and Miss Quinlan, Junior class advisors, accompanied the class. I think marriages are really made in heaven, don’t you? Well, if all men took as long to propose as you, most of them would have to be. April I. Freshman-Sophomore Party The members of the Freshman class entertained the Sophomores at an April Fool party. Many queer and comical costumes were worn. A delightful program was planned for this occasion. Early in the evening, mustard and paper sandwiches were served. One play and a skit were given, after which punch and cake were served. 1281
