YEAR I 1 T H E 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ] 1 STORY OF THE Fred Wakefield, and others, again blessed the outfit with their ability, but a good share were new and strange faces. Instruments never before in our high school band were heard that night. It was a surprise to realize that that tiny trill of the minute flute came from Dick Ranney, and that the big bass notes that issued forth from one of those tubas in the rear came from little Miles Fuller. We never could figure out just why it always happens that people in general are so wise in doing just the opposite of what one would expect them to do. Then there came the morning when, upon arriving at school, we smelled the delightful smell of sawdust and heard the gentle song of the crowing rooster. All this meant that the Future Farmers had again brought their fair to the gym. Competition ran high to decide whether this potato or that was the best, whether the red hen was better than the black. (Or isn’t that the way they judge?) The “Moonlight Serenade was one of the highlights of the Juniors and Seniors’ year. The long rustling skirts, the transformation of the auditorium into a dimly-lit, colorful ballroom, and the “smooth” orchestra made it worth everyone’s while to save a souvenir for the scrapbook. The Freshman-Sophomore party was well attended and was a true prom for the younger inhabitants of our school. Santa’s visit was close at hand when, on the Friday before vacation, we held our beautiful and impressive Christmas assembly. That night we celebrated the holiday at the annual dance. A lighted Christmas tree was the center of decorations for that party. As a grand finale to the first semester the Junior Class held the first Barn Dance we had ever had. The “rustic” decorations, consisting of rude (slivery) planks for seats and the false ceiling of hay, together with the delightful music of a real square dance band, made the “Hayloft Hop” unusual and lots of fun. Back to a new semester with new, clean report cards, the Seniors for the first time realized how nearly through they really were. The Senior Play, “This Genius Business.” only amplified this realization. The school will never forget Marge Edsall as a sweet young girl becoming engaged to a suave young doctor, or Barb Hall’s qold manner to her middle-aged husband. Continued on Page 34
