Wauneta lost to Benkelman in the first round and Imperial defeated Indianola by a close margin. Benkelman won over Imperial in the finals and were announced Valley winners. Our Declamatory department made a favorable showing this year and we competed in all sections, namely, Humorous, Dramatics, Oratorical, and Extemporaneous. Phyllis Kitt represented us in our Oratorical, Kenneth McGooden in the Humorous, and Mildred Lawrence in Dramatics. Our one-act plays, given by various students for credit, have received no small recognition and lastly and foremost comes our Junior and Senior plays. The Junior play, “Apple Blossom Time,” brought a house full of laughter, and the Seniors in “All Night Long” furnished mystery with fun. r Seventeen

 HIGH SCHOOL PAPER This paper had its beginning about Nov. 1, 1929, with Miss Hankins acting as general manager and overseer, and staff members as follows: Editor-in-Chief...................Lee Thomas Assistant Editor...............Nathan Mohler Sport Editor....................Pansy Dimick Feature Editor................Corinne Higley Feature Editor...................Boyd Woods Joke Editor....................Howard Stinnette Reporter........................Audra Kerns Reporter......................Lucille Decker The general meeting of the staff was on Wednesday evening at 3 :30. Then all the articles had to be prepared and typed off and sorted—all ready to be received at the office of the Wauneta Breeze on Monday morning. We surely appreciate the service of the Wauneta Breeze, for it was through their courtesy that we were able to put out our little paper. The name which was chosen for the paper was “High School Static.” There were several names suggested and submitted but this one was selected almost unanimously by the student body as a group. We had an exchange department with several schools in this part of the state (including Benkelman, Parks, and Harvard). The student body have responded to the privilege of helping out the staff by feeding the Static box in the assembly and their contributions are appreciated very much. Sixteen

 JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The dining room of the M. E. Church basement was the scene of the most elaborate banquet ever given in Wauneta, Thursday evening, when the Junior class entertained complimentary to the class of ’29, and members of the high school faculty. The Senior class colors were blue and white, and with these the attractive setting was staged in form of a circus tent. The entire dining room was given this appearance in alternating stripes of blue and white crepe paper. The tables were beautiful with various centerpieces consisting of a miniature tent, several rings where tiny animals of various types performed, also clever trapezes where tiny dolls were the acrobats, and huge popcorn balls with elephants mounted on top. Favors were clowns garbed in blue and white, carrying the place card in one hand. The place card was artistically decorated with blue roses, the senior class flower. Hand-tinted programs in shape of clowns and blue and white nut cups with miniature elephants mounted on the side added much to the attractive tables. A parade of various kinds of animals was arranged the length of the table. O. E. S. Kensington. The menu: Circus Lemonade, Chicken Trapeze, Barnum’s Brown Potatoes, Maize in Captivity, Tumblers, Redskins, Greased Poles, Quivers, Ringling’s Parade, Menagerie Ice, Clown’s Delight, Ringmaster’s Stimulant, Peanuts. Striped Candy was served by six ladies, attired in blue and white clown suits. Eighteen
