The following Chapel Program was given in their honor: Instrumental Solo ........................Alta Young Recognition Address ........................Mr. Pate Vocal Solo..............................Marian Grebe Farewell Address.........................Ralph Joder The Seniors wore their caps and gowns to all classes the remainder of the day, and their new dignity gave them a very distinguished air, quite awe-inspiring to the Under-class mates. SENIOR CLASS DAY. Each year the Senior Class of the High School is given a day for the class picnic. Each year the class goes out for a good time and this year the class has decided to go in cars, into the river country and bluffs near Scottsbluff. The class will start early in the morning of May 15, and go to Scottsbluff, where they will make their first stop and get dinner. From here the class will go out into the bluffs, where the best part of the afternoon will be spent in climbing the bluffs of our neighboring city. Pictures will be taken for the many Graduate Books, and, of course, lunch will be eaten before the departure for the river country which furnishes so many pretty places. The late afternoon will be spent in preparing the eats, and then will come the final drive to Alliance. The class is looking forward to this day as a day of good fun, a day never-to-be-forgotten. The class will be accompanied by their sponsor, Miss Wilson. 19

ACT I. Story of the matrimonial experiences of Larry and Hetty Brice. ACT II. Sammy Fletcher, bachelor, boon companion of Larry, is invited to spend a few days in the country in order that he may also participate in the joys of the commuter. ACT III. A temporary disagreement between husband and wife follows. Sammy Fletcher tries to play the part of the gentle peacemaker, and in so doing, imperils everyone connected with the household in trouble. ACT IV. A mother-in-law, a telegram, Sammy. Needless to say, the play was well received, especially since the characters were portrayed with unusual ability—for 1917 has always stood on a pedestal of her own. JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION. The Juniors tendered the graduates an excellently appointed reception in the High School Gymnasium, May 4. Previous to this year, it has been customary to give a Junior-Senior Banquet. But owing to the present conditions of our Country and the President’s call for economy in the use of foodstuffs and elaborate social functions, the Junior Class dispensed with the formal banquet and made the occasion into a reception. The Seniors responded to the spirit of the change and the event will ever be a memorial. 18
