 f Spire of School I ih Station KWYO The Bronc Club broadcasted pep rallies last fall before the football games. On Constitution Day three members of Miss Beall’s American History class, Roberta Severance, Lawrence Fuller, and Bill Steffen, gave a dialogue on the Constitution. A quintet composed of advanced orchestra members gave a recital in February. The quintet included Ruth Wherry, Jack Wehr, Nell Reynolds, Robert Walker, Betty MaeCatherine, and Edith Ruth Bull. Allison Wyland accompanied on the piano. Q. E. Q. Initiation And the bus broke down at 9 A. M., May 3, 1934, right on the stage in the high school auditorium! Who were in this bus? Eighty-five gii'ls—Junior A’s and Senior B’s all doing the commands of the Q. E. Q. girls in order to become good Q. E. Q.’s. While the bus was being reconditioned, the passengers gave a varied program suitable to the motley crowd enroute. These old folks, middle-aged folks, lovers, sweet girl graduates, and a bunch of the wee ones, all made the audience decide “The Show’s the Thing.” At a five o’clock dinner in the cafeteria, the Q. E. Q. girls were hostesses to the initiates. Awards for sportsmanship, costumes, and best assembly skits, followed by the serious initiation, ended this perfect day for the upper class girls. Senior Distinction Day Sheridan High School was turned into a Gypsy camp at the annual distinction day on May 11, 1934. The graduating classes were vagabonds, and sang Gypsy love songs around a camp fire. After the annual Senior breakfast, the Seniors wandered down Main Street and up to the S. H. S. camping ground. There, at a general assembly, they read the will and prophecy, and finally ended the assembly by bidding the old “camping ground” goodbye to leave for the larger “camping ground”—the big world. Junior-Senior Prom “Progress,” the theme of the banquet, May 25, 1934, was carried out in the various numbers of the program; the decorations of black and silver, in modernistic designs, added to the motif of the theme. The colorful prom, following the banquet, was opened by the grand march. The auditorium was transformed into a modernistic ballroom, with lounges, lamps, and palm trees attractively arranged around the room. The orchestra was seated upon a moss-covered terraced platform. Black and silver, in artistic effects, was much in evidence. Q. E. Q. and Glee Club Carnival and Dance On November 9, 1934, the Q. E. Q. girls presented a spectacular and delightful carnival in the high school auditorium. The opening event was the crowning of the king and queen, Tom Close and Virginia Edwards. ' Attendants to the royal couple were Victoria Te-lander, Dorothy Stout, Grace McGrew, Bob Arrison, Gustav Lofgren, and Tom Eckerman. Eileen Dean and Edith Belle Tebbs acted as heralds, while Dickie Gage carried the crowns, and Rachel Heywood Twenty-seven
