The High School teachers acted as chaperones. s di The afternoon was spent rollerskating and joyriding. The last did not g I prove so enjoyable due to the fact that while two couples were joy-riding, E 5 they got stuck quite a ways from camp. Luckily they had part of the lunch s s with them, and they made good use of it. They returned in time to get in on 5 I the hot dogs and lemonade. The mosquitoes were thick, but the picnic proved f I a success and everyone left for home at seven. Q ' I I 4 at at an s I 4 I I I I I 1 JUNIOR PICNIC I . . . .

At that time he was given the opportunity to present to the Q g High School students the plans carried out by the publishing company, in I 1 promoting a subscription contest in high schools. Then the high school was E 5 given the opportunity to vote on the proposition, and voted it to be carried 3 I out. Mr. Donovan then proceeded to the election of officers. Carrie Akers Q g was elected Business Manager. Then he divided the school into three teams, I I the school electing a leader for each and each team represented by different E g colored buttons. Oma Ogden was chosen leader of the Orange , Evelyn g s Hoschler leader o fthe Greens g and Oather Cummins, leader of the Reds . I I These teams were to secure subscriptions in the locality and a party given by f g the losing teams to the team having secured the larger number of subscrip- Q : tions, the losers furnishing the feed and the winners the fun. E E The Financial end of this contest was promoted for the benefit of the 5 ' Athletic Association, which resulted in a sum of forty-eight dollars, twenty- Q s four dollars being taken in as the share of the school for that purpose. g f The Orange team was the winner of this contest and the party was held E I in the gym on November the fifth. The whole High School attended. They 5 I met in the Commercial room where each one was taken separately to the gym f g door and given a name of an animal which they were supposed to represent. 5 I They were then admitted into the room and made to cross the floor imitating i I the animal which they were representing, and to kneel at he foot of the I F throne on which was seated the Business Manager. Next came the peanut : l hunt in which the Greens were victorious. After this came many original g E and iptferesting games. A delightful lunch was served and everyone de- E g partec or iome except the dishwashers.. g I ' X I E O O 0 E . i I I I I I I f JUNIOR FALL FESTIVAL I E The Junior Fall Festival, on the evening of November the twenty-first, E g was the scene of a singing, chattering, swarm of people from eight o'clock until I 1 past the eleventh hour. I I The musical stunts by the Junior musicians, Chicago Orchestra, with E g the leader dressed in Paris costume, and the sparkling eyed black boys Q I thrilled all.
