 THE LATIN CLUB The Latin Club, sponsored by Miss Della Benson, has been well carried on this year. The members attended regularly and contributed gladly to the entertainment. The meetings have been held on the second Monday of every month. A short business meeting was always held followed by an interesting program, the purpose of which was to secure a better understanding of the Roman people. With understanding comes an appreciation for their manners and customs and adds interest and background to the work. For the programs, subjects were chosen which were not taken up in the regular class work or which needed further emphasis; such as Roman customs, Roman gods, Roman holidays, plays concerning Latin, and a debate on the question: Resolved, That Napoleon was greater than Caesar, as a man, as a general, and as a statesman. The social feature of the meeting consisted of Latin songs and games and refreshments. The officers were chosen for the half-year term and have done their work well. Kenneth McGooden......

 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

 ORCHESTRA The orchestra, while primarily a high school organization, includes several members from the grades. Probably it could best be called a “School Orchestra.” Most of the time has been spent in organizing and preparing for the future, when the orchestra will be a regular organization. Special emphasis has been placed upon instrumentation so that a well rounded group might be presented to the public. Only through good instrumentation can much be accomplished. We are slowly approaching that goal. The orchestra has made a number of public appearances during the year, being present at practically all school plays and appearing before P. T. A. Starting with 16 members it has increased to 30, at the present time, and we hope to enlarge the group. Since very few are graduating, next year appears as a year of promise. I. V.
