In fact, basketball games occupied most of the Friday ani Saturday nights during the season. This year special interest was shown in the games since they were being played in our new Lightncr Gym. Even with- out blcaehers, the gym was packed for nearly every con- test. January and February were the months of the heavy rains. It wasn't unusual to see teachers and students alike trying their best to by- pass large pools of water that hindered the passage from building to building. Especially the trip to and from P. E. was responsible for much of the mud collect- egl in the classrooms. The latter kept the janitors busier than normal for that time of year. A different kind of contest shared the limelight with athletic contests this winter. The annual staff sponsored an Annual Queen contest. F o u r representatives, one from each class, were nom- inated and managers for these contestants elected. It was the duty of the managers to advertise his or her candi- date for Queen and take The climax of the Pleizules staff assembly was the crowning nl' the Annual Queen Linda Parman.

Each penny put in the jar counted one vote for the candidate. The candidate receiving the highest number of votes by the day of the assembly put on by the an- nual staff, would be declared Annual Queen. As can be imagined, the con- test raged hot and furious- competition between the classes was keen. As the final day drew near, the money jars fairly bulged with the monetary evidence of the es- teem of the students for their chosen candidate. At the close of the assembly, the long awaited announce- ment was made. Linda Par- man had been elected Queen, glorifying the day for the sophomores, It wasn't long until the classes began to start plan- ning and presenting class as- semblies. The freshmen pre- sented a minstrelg the sopho- mores, a night club: the juniors, a variety show. The seniors presented a comedy in the Spring. The band and chorus also presented good assemblies. The chorus gave us a preview of the numbers they were to sing at the Tu- lare County Music Festival. Iilemifir-ation impossible.
