E Highlights of 1929-30 EVERY year brings its changes and, we earnestly trust, improve- ments in our school life. The outstanding feature of the past year has probably been the successful working of our school council in direct- ing the social and extra-curricular affairs of the student body. One im- portant outgrowth of the council was the installing of an honor point system. The purpose of this system is to encourage scholarship, regular school attendance, loyal participation in student activities, and a high standard of citizenship in the school. Points are given for scholarship, citizenship, and regular attendance and participation in various school organizations and activities. Such an interest has been shown that ap- proximately one third of the student body qualified for the honor pin at the end of the year. . Qne innovation this year was the spring athletic banquet instead of the fall football banquet of former years. Cn March fourteenth, the school entertained as its guests all the football, basketball, and track men. Genuine good-fellowship marked the occasion. Coach Bearg of Wash- burn College, introduced by Coach Crawford, gave the speech of the evening. On March twenty-fifth, the dramatic club sponsored a reading con- test during our regular assembly period. Seven students, the survivors of the elimination tryout of the Friday previous, appeared on the pro- gram: Alice jean Bole, Margaret Briggs, Margaret Cox, Dorese Iobe, Edwin Krasny, Sarah McComb, and Stewart Paul. The Hrst prize, a five dollar gold piece, was won by Edwin Krasny and the second prize, a two and a half dollar gold piece, by Stewart Paul. An annual event, inaugurated last year, is the entertainment of the eighth grade graduates of the district. This spring our Eighth Grade Day came on April seventeenth. On this day the eighth graders, their parents, and the parents of our own students were all invited to spend the day with us, visit our class rooms, and get acquainted with the vari- ous departments of our work. A special assembly program was prepared for our guests, and at the lunch hour a general social good time was enjoyed by everyone. The afternoon was given over to a track meet of all the grade schools of the Washburn High School district, under the direction of our coach, Mr. Crawford. The day has proved one of the important dates in our school calendar and we hope it will always find a place in the year's program. 16 - o-xo-o-lu-o-D 01-0-14'Z-Ol-D'Z'0'1'0-i'O'Z-029'14'14-X1'ZAO-1'0'Z'0'Z'0'X'0'Z'O-K4 -X42-X'D'i-0

Sponsor Miss Hall ....... Sponsor OR the past two years our class has been looking forward to the time when we would become juniors. XN'e were successfully car- ried through the first semester by our class president, Richard Mischke, who surrendered his obligations to Stewart Paul, our competent guide through the second semester. The class gave one party at the school-building which was followed by a line party at the Grand theatre. After this one bit of self-indul- geuce, we gave our full time and effort to preparations for the main social event of the year. The urgent request of the chairman of our fin- ance committee was Hluniors, we need money. The junior-senior ban- quet was held Friday evening, April 25, at the Country Club. The dec- orations were elaborately carried out in a Dutch scheme with tulips and windmills. The juniors this year have been well represented in athletics and in dramatic work. Many names of our class have appeared on the honor roll and the perfect attendance roll. Wie are now looking forward to fall, and the title of worthy seniors. 18 W, ...,...,,,.,,,.,,.. . .....-f-.n-...,..,..-- ,i if g Wg... cas, Q.. -.,.f.,ifm.sf. 1
