In the Frosh Mixer these entrants became full-fledged stu- dents of the Arlington High. To show their gratitude for the Mixer they entertained the Sophs at a party which was so successful that their social career for the future was assured. The Sophomore year was filled with diligent study to overcome the “flunks” made in the first year. The most important event of the Junior year was the Junior Prom. The beautiful decorations, lively music, color- ful gowns, to say nothing of the delicious punch, made it a memorable occasion. In the Campus Day competition they won first and were rewarded by an extra period at noon. Junior picnic was held at Deception Pass, a supposed advancement over Lake Stevens, the usual picnic grounds of the underclasses. In the fall of 1928 the Seniors started with “vim, vigor, and vitality” and made their last year a success. They again won Campus Day and were accordingly award- ed a period during school time which they spent at Terrace Park. In many activities such as Debate, Declamatory, Ath- letics, and Dramatics the Seniors took the lead. The Senior Play, “Second Childhood”, was one of their most successful achievements. As a reward for four years of hard work they enjoyed to the utmost that privilege of privileges, SENIOR SNEAK!

SENIOR CLASS OF 1929 By: Alma Hodges Louise Shannon Doris Dusk in Lewis Larson CLASS PROPHECY It has come to pass that the veil of the future hath been ren in twain. Lis- ten to the sayings from the lips of the great prophet! But listen! for even now he speaks. Hear no! Look! Listen, ye men, women and small children of Arlington, to the worlds of your prophet! Thus sayeth the prophet: “I can see our beloved class president. Yea. even as today. I can see him. principal of our high school, for his ambition has led him upward and onward so that his words are heeded by all. He is a great success.— “As I look again I can see among the motion picture celebrities a very great stage manager, one who as a High School student was always playing around the stage. I see him now telling Davy Lee how to improve his stage presence and per- sonality—Allen Spraggins. “What is this I see in he society circles of Oso? An exceedingly dignified lady. What! ho! She is president of the Ladies’ Circle and a very worthy one— Bessie Cyran. “Now I am looking into a large Cathedral in that thriving metropolis, Silvana, where a stately priest in his dignity pours forth words of inspired instruction. Verily it is John Heaton himself. “Oh! what a fine family have we here. As the door swings open there can be seen a contented household made happy by a mother whose greates ambition is that highest of all worldly vocations—the maker and keeper of a home—Grace Miller. “As the light of this happy home fades away I see a great university—at the large desk in the office of the head of the Latin department is a scholarly, dignified gentleman who appears to be a very strict dean—Harry Caesar Hanson. “Look here! What is this we see in the far distant country of Denmark? Lawrence Sessoms, first valet to King Perry! “A glimpse into the business world reveals a great many members of the class. First I see Americas foremost woman taxicab driver. Alma Hodges. Then ap- pears Joy Rutledge, general manager of the Rutledge, Reinseth Dress Borrowing and Loaning Company. “The professions are not being neglected. Lewis Larson is a successful doctor in W. Bowman’s “Elixir Baby Clinic.” “Yea! There stands an orator. He is Ted Mayers, chief radio announcer for KXA. Seattle. “Here is a great musician; he is now playing as a “feature” in Paul Bunyan’s “Hat Band' —Fred “Slidem Some” Kamm. What ho! A fair lady is running for May Queen at Pilchuck—she always did enjoy riding on a float—Louise Shannon. “And what is this? Our old friend Stanley States is strong man in Fingarson and Lang ’s one-ring circus. •There seems to be but one banker in the class. As I see him now he is refusing Mgr. Charles Rolling of the “Green Sox” a loan of $15,000 to buy Al. Lien from the Giants. “As the light grows dim I see Miss Marian Barclay coaching the play “Ninth Childhood” by the famous play wright, Don Lowe.” Ay. the veil is being drawn together before my eyes. The lights grows dimmer and dimmer. May goodness, truth, and propserity come to the talented members of the class of 1929. ■ Ctili acjuamisk Trail C- dB Jp %cl;ll 31- j a a uamis r Jlo v � vjugdt .' mmom Officers y President Vice-President Secret ary-Tt-easurer Yell Leader Coral ajid White Howard Mickelson Frank Arnot Anna Carlson Sydney Pautzke ill and Win - 'bx y rif f v Accomplishments 1.

WHITE MOUNTAIN RIDGE Associated Students President ------- Ted Meyers Vice-President.........................Alfred Lein Secretary ------ Caroline Perigo Treasurer ------ Frank Arnot Business Manager - - - Lawrence Sessoms It has always been the aim of the Associated Students to pro- mote better student government, believing that the more self gov- ernment the student body has the more it will be interested in it. The main purpose of the Associated Students is to carry out all school transactions in a more business-like manner. It also strengthens school spirit and cooperation among the students. Every person in the organization has an active part in the work of the student body, as selling tickets, advertising games and plays, and general work for the school. This participation results in every' individual taking pride in the success of the various activities spon- sored by the group. A new idea introduced during the latter part of the year was the organization of a Student Council. This is composed of repre- sentatives from each of the home rooms. The Student Council, cooperating with the Board of Control, work for the betterment of the school. We hope that this is a forward step in student govern- ment. The Associated Students this year has a larger membership than ever before. The plans of the organization were carried out ef- ficiently, and as a result the activities undertaken by the Associated Students were successful.

This was made possible through the money raised by a series of candy sales by the girls of the different classes. The purpose of the League is to promote more socialibilty among the girls, especially between the Seniors and Freshmen. All girls in the High School are members of this League, it be- ing the largest organization in school, with the exception of the Associated Students. We have endeavored to give an interesting program at each monthly meeting. A mixer is held annually in which each class puts on a stunt. The Senior girls won the prize for having the cleverest stunt this year. A great deal of the credit for our accomplishments is due to the faithful work of our adviser. Miss Harris. Much credit is also due to the officers and class representatives. —Hilda Wahl. Vocational Club President............................Alfred Lein Vice President - Lewis Larson Treasurer ----- Conrad Espe Membership in the Vocational Club of the Arlington High School is limited to those boys who have taken Manual Training or Agriculture.

This year the club won twenty dollars for the school by gaining first place in the American Legion Auxiliary vaudeville which was presented in the High School auditorium on the evening of March 8th. The club’s contribution to the program was a humorous panto- mime entitled “Captain Kidd and What He Did . New overhead lights for the stage were purchased as a result of this activity. To stimulate interest in science and literature, and to afford pleasure and entertainment to its members, are the purposes of the T. O. T. Club. Its meetings, which are scheduled for the last Wednes- day of each month, are divided into three parts: a literary and scientific program, usually presented in the auditorium and ar- ranged by the club officers assisted by three members appointed to serve for three meetings; an entertainment of music and dancing in the gym. planned by the same committee; and refreshments served in the Home Kc. rooms by a committee functioning for two meet- ings. A clean-up committee is appointed for each meeting. The Torch Society President Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Faculty Advisor Perry Johnson Rollen Speer Everett Bundt Ruth Susman The establishment of good fellowship among the students, and the encouragement of higher scholastic standards by recognition of merit, are the objects of the Torch Society, a national high school honor society. Points toward membership are based on scholarship and service to the school as shown by participation in various student activites. Awards consist of one-bar, two-bar, and torch pins, which are given to the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors respectively. When a grad- uating Senior has earned the required number of points he is al- lowed to keep his torch pin. All other pins are the property of the society. Since its establishment three years ago in the Arlington High school, this organization has made continued progress, until this year one-fifth of the Seniors earned torches and the school mem- bership totaled forty-two. The torch winners of the society are: Ward Bowman Fred Kamm Grace King Miller Martha Marxen Lawrence Sessoms Almeda Wrage Edena Kamm Perry Johnson Alfred Lein Violet Mason Caroline Perrigo Stanley States ■ RIFLE CLUB President ------ Ted Meyers Secretary ... - - - Lewis Larson Sergeant at Arms - Charles Wrage The Rifle Club was organized last fall for the purpose of pro- moting marksmanship and sportsmanship. Admission to the club was put on a competitive basis, and several interesting shoots were held to determine the club membership. The meetings have been held every Monday night in the base- ment of the Congregational Church where there is a good rifle range. The club is divided into two teams, and a contest between them is held at each meeting. One team is captained by Everett Bundt and the other by Adolf Oien. The time has been spent this year in learning the rudiments of marksmanship, but next year the club plans on entering some com- petitive shoots with other schools. A great deal of credit must be given Mr. M. F. Barnett, faculty adviser, for the progress the club has made.

Points are given for participa- tion in debate, oratory, and declamation. There are our de- grees given for earning points in this type of work. The first degree is the Degree of Merit, which is awarded to any person who has earned tw’o points. The second degree is the Degree of Honor. Any person who earns thirty points is eligible for this degree. Sixty points are necessary to win the Degree of Excellence, and one hun- dred points to win the Degree of Distinction. This is the highest de- gree, and very few persons rise this high in the National Forensic League. Twelve points toward membership in this organization are given to the captain of a debate for each debate they win, and eleven are given to each of the other members of the team. For debates that are lost five points are given to the team members and six points to the captain. Nine points are given to each person who wins an interscholastic declamation contest. The Arlington chapter is composed of Perry .Johnson, president; Hessie Cyran, Edena Kamm, Martin Bloxham, Ruth Lowe, and Miss Showed, the debate coach. —Ruth Lowe. Knights of the Paddle Everett Bundt - Captain M. F. Barnett ... Faculty Adviser The Knights of the Paddle is a new organization in the Arling- ton High School. It has taken the place of student vigilance com- mittee. This organization performs many duties during the year, most of them in connection with athletic contests. During football and basketball games they maintain order, seat crowds, etc. They lime the athletic field for football games and track meets. Much other useful work is done by the Knights of the Paddle which establishes them as one of the most useful organizations in the high school. Much credit for the success of this organization is due to M. P. Barnett, Faculty Adviser. —Stanley Robinson. Usher Staff Another service organization of much benefit to our school is the Girls’ Usher Staff. Their work is mainly accommodating large crowds at the School Plays, Programs, etc. These girls are distinguished by their special costumes they wear at different plays and programs. The members of this staff are: Eunice Plymale Mary Campbell Monica Krauskoff Agnes Jorgenson Edena Kamm Virginia La Stina Kamm Laura Engerseth Marcella Meyer Nora Botten Helen Verd Marie States Lee Reinseth Joy Rutledge Margaret Johnston Gwen Cannacher Flamboy Marie Anderson mm FOOTBALL-1928 RLINGTON football underwent a revolution in style this year, Harold Shidler replacing Coach J. H. Hallock as mentor for our famous Arlington Club. Considerable interest was taken in our new coach before the season had started, and no less so when it did start, for some sev- enty-five aspiring youths answered his initial call. A few were curious or dreamed of an easy road to first-team ball, but this did not go with our new mentor. The result was a squad-cut which left only the earnest, or naturally capable men on the gridiron. The season started out with a bang. Strict training orders were issued to the players and skull practices held in the mornings for the purpose of learning the rudiments of the game, Shidler’s plays, and his gridiron tactics in general. Shidler was seriously handicapped in the backfield, having only one man of previous experience. Furthermore, when the fight for positions was temporarily over and the fog cleared, he found that his backfield was formed entirely of light men, none of any height, and that passers were very scarce. In the line no incompetency of any consequence appeared. This part of the team did fine work and earned the approbation of the fans. The outlook for the year 1929 is pleasant. About twenty letter- men, all trained by Shidler, are expected. From this group a power- ful line may be picked. The backfield, on the other hand, shows all indications of championship caliber. It should be benefited by the appearance of Bill Winsor, a new Eagle on the campus. Bill plays half, and will in all probabilities round out the backfield perfectly, with the excep- tion of quarter for which we have no star, but have two or three good prospects.

There were Larson and Borseth. and Borseth be- came ineligible at mid-year, leaving only Larson as a team nucleus. Despite this, our team developed into a fast, close checking combination by the end of the season. What the squad lacked in experience they made up in fight and spirit. This was demonstrated in the Monroe game when Arlington came from behind to win an unexpected victory. Several lower classmen had worked into first team rank by the end of the season, and many more played second team ball. These will provide real material for the future Arlington teams.

However, good track men began to show up one by one, due to the efforts of Coach Shidler, and on April 9th Arlington reigned supreme in a triangular meet with Sno- homish and Monroe. Arlington won the meet with a total of 69 5-6 points, Snohomish being second with 48 5-6 points, and Monroe last with only 2 1-3 points. A dual meet with Mount Vernon was called off on account of rain. The next event was a quadrangular meet at Flverett on April 20th. The contestants were Everett, Arlington, Burlington, and Sedro-Woolley. Everett came out in the lead with a total of 671 points, Arlington second with 26$, Burlington third with 18, and Sedro-Woolley fourth with 14. With Windsor and Snelson out of the meet, and St. Aubin weak from the flu, the good work of the remaining men can be easily understood. In the county meet at Everett on April 27th, Everett triumphed with 48 points, Snohomish taking 30 points and Arlington 28. Arlington took three first places. Windsor, running the high hurdles in 16 3-5 seconds, broke the county record formerly held by Lingo, also from Arlington. With practically all of our men returning, and with many Everett and Snohomish stars graduating, Arlington’s chance for the county championship next year seems bright. C ti 11 acjuamisk Trail TENNIS Only a limited number of boys turned out for tennis this so the prospects for a winning season were not as bright as usua Only one letterman, Earl McQuesten, was available, the remainder of the squad being freshmen and sophomores. However, the boys determined to do their best this year, playing as many tournaments as possible, and build for a winning team next year. The first three weeks of the season were spent in rolling the courts and getting things in suitable conditon for playing. In spite of the steady rain, which made it difficult to accomplish much, the courts are now in frst class condition. The boys turning out for tennis were: Earl McQuestion, Hill Murphy, Amel Tveit, James Hauschildt, Ralph Fraliek. Gilmore Reese, Charles Rolling, and John Hanson.

The year was divided into four quarters. The first quarter was spent playing speed ball, a combination of soccer and football. Sports day was held on our own field on October 20. The girls on the first squad were: Laura Engerseth. Edena Kamm. Gud- run Maurstad. Dorothy Thorsen, Almeda Wrage. Helen Verd, Peggy Shudshift. Evelyn Olson, Anna MangLs. Margaret Johnston, and Marie Anderson. Volley ball w'as the next sport. Sports day was held at Stan wood, January 12. and many of the Arlington girls were on the star team. Those on the first squad were Laura Engerseth, Nora Botten, Vivian Dooley, Margaret Johnston. Evelyn Ol- son. Dorothy Thorsen. Edena Kamm. Helen Verd, and Almeda Wrage. Basketball class was divided into two teams, the blue, and the gold. At the end of the season the winning team in each class w'as given a party by the losers. The girls chosen for the first squad were: Edena Kamm. Almeda Wrage. Thelma Evans, Laura Engerseth, Gwen Connacher, Peggy Shudshift. Margaret Johnston, and Gudrun Maurstad. Baseball, track and tennis were the last events of the season. The girls made a success of each of these activities. Organized hikes have been a new feature, this year, which have made girls’ athletics more popular. After school the girls hiked to various places and ate their lunch around a glowing camp fire. The girls also earned points toward their letters by going on these hikes. There are more girls receiving awards this year than at any other time. The fourth award has been changed to a small pin instead of a letter. Miss Harris is an expert coach, and this organization owes much of its success to her wrork and interest. The business of the organization was earned on by a Big A Club. The offi- cers of this club were: president. Alma Hodges; vice president, Laura Engerseth; business manager. Alyce Dunn; secretary.

The Junior girls won the tournament by defeating the Seniors in the final game. The game was close and exciting throughout, the score being 8 to 11. t uamis Interclass Athletics FOOTBALL Something new in the way of interclass athletics this year was the Senior football game, so called because the Senior were contesting the rest of the school. The Seniors won the game by a single touchdown. This was scored on a pass, via the Meyers to Sessoms route. Both teams were fairly equal in all de- partments of the game except in passing, where the Seniors excelled. The game was intensely interesting and certainly showed the prowess of the Senior players, many of whom we are going to miss badly next year. TRACK The Juniors won the interclass track meet, by a narrow margin, with a total of 40 points. The Sophomores scored 30 points and the Freshmen 14. The Juniors and Sophomores had well balanced teams, taking a place in nearly every event. The Seniors specialized in field events, while the Freshmen placed first in the distanc runs. Windsor. Junior, and Borseth, Senior, were tied for high point honors with 16 V points each The most surprising and gratilying thing about the meet was the prowess of the Freshmen. This augurs well for the prospects of next year’s track team. BASKETBALL Interclass basketball is becoming more important ever year. This year the Seniors won the tournament by winning all three of their games. The Sopho- mores were second, the Juniors third, and the Freshmen last. The first two games played were between the Juniors and Freshmen, and the Seniors and Sophomores; the Seniors and Juniors taking the honors. The second day the games were between the Juniors and Sophomores, and the Seniors and Freshmen. The Seniors and Sophomores both won their games. The final games were between the Frosh and Sophs, and the Juniors and Seniors. The Sophomores won a decisive victory over the Freshmen. The Junior- Senior game was the best of the tournament, the score being close throughout. The Seniors, by a fourth quarter rally, emerged victorious from the struggle with a 15 to 11 score, thereby winning the tournament. rnmni' aquamis 3 k Trail 1928-1929 SCHEDULE Arlington, negative; Marysville, affirmative.

The question for debate this year was. “Resolved, that installment buying as a means of exchange is economically desirable, provided that the term does not include the purchase of homes, investment securities, or insurance.” Arlington was represented by two teams, a negative and an affirmative, which were well coached by Miss Showell. The affirmative team was composed of Bessie Cyran. Edena Kamm, and Perry Johnson. The negative was upheld by Ruth Lowe. Perry Johnson, and Martin Bloxham. Arlington had a very successful debating season this year; in fact the most successful in the history of our school. The teams went through the season unde- feated. bringing to the High School, for the first time, the district championship. The two negative debates were held at Marysville and Lake Stevens. The af- firmative debates with Anacortes and Edison were held in Arlington. In these de- bates Arlington earned ten out of a possible twelve judges’ decisions. The standard se this year is so high that it will act as a perpetual urge to on- coming Arlington debate teams. —Ruth Lowe. COUNTY DECLAMATORY CONTEST The county declamatory contest this year was divided into three groups: ora- torical, dramatic, and humorous. Arlington was represented by Perry Johnson and Martha Shudshift, who won in the oratorical and humorous divisions respectively. Arlington had no representative in the dramatic division.

We soon found that such a thing was impossible, and the book that we hereby present is much the same as its predecessors. We have the hope, however, that this annual will serve, in a degree, to more closely unite the students of the high school, the faculty, and the community. We have the hope that this annual may be a review of the year’s work,—a re- view as complete and representative as possible in this small book. Here we wish to thank those who have made this Annual pos- sible: Mr. Boyer, for his untiring efforts; Miss Susman, for her as- sistance to the business manager; those who have contributed material, to the great assistance of the editorial staff; and the mem- bers of the student body. aquaims 3 k Trail THE BAND This year, considering the size of our high school, the work of the band has been of fairly high merit. The band has helped the school and the community more this year than in any year preceding. They played at the football games, and at a number of assembles. They also rendered considerable community service by playing at the Stillaguamish Valley Fair last fall. With everyone in the band increasing his knowledge of music, and with very few members graduating, the outlook for next year is very favorable. To Miss Ayers, the instructor, is due much of the credit for the good work of the band.

As most of the members were be- ginners. the task of molding a good organization was a difficult one. In this work Miss Ayers has given much time and is deserving of much credit. The orchestra has played for several school assemblies, for the Lion's club, for school plays, and for an entertainment at Trafton. Only one member of the orchestra is lost by graduation this year. Thus, as the organization will be intact for next year, some wonderful work is expected. PERSONNEL OF THE ORCHESTRA Violins - - June Marxen. Helen Cyran. Emmet Thompson Saxophone - Donald Leach.

This organization is made up of the more advanced members of the regular orches- tra, and is selected to give a grouping of instruments suitable for jazz melody. The members of the jazz orchestra have had to spend a great deal of time, outside of school hours, in practice. Those playing in the jazz orchestra are: Ward Bowman. Warren Bowman. Hoyt Ross, Kate Hart, Clarence Fowler, and Dorothy Skillingstad. Girls’ Glee Club The Girls’ Glee Club has made a great deal of progress this year under the efficient leadership of Miss Ethel Ayers. The number of members has greatly increased, at present total- ling twenty-three. One new feature this year has been the special attention given to classical music. The Glee Club has made several public appearances during the year. The first was at the Christmas assembly, where several Christ- mas carols were sung. The second was at the school exhibition, on May 3rd. where the Glee Club helped demonstrate the work of the music department. The Glee Club also provided music for the an- nual Mothers’ and Daughters’ banquet at the Congregational Church on May 21st.

The All-School Play The All-School Flay, “The (loose Hangs High”, given January 18-19th, under the direction of Miss Marian Barclay was a great success. The play was of the deeper type, and was written by the well known author, Lewis Beech. In the story of the play, Mr. Ingals, who was employed at the city hall was having a hard time to supply his two children, Lois and Bradford, with enough money to finish college. He lost all of his money and quit his job because of ill treatment at the city hall. Hugh, the oldest son, coming home for Christmas, hears of the situ- ation and pleads with his father to take the money which he has saved for his marriage with Dagmar Carroll. When Lois and Brad heard of their dad’s fate they decided to work. Beside that they got their grandmother into a notion which worked out splendidly. They had quite a time straightening things out, but it finally ended very happily. The stage force, advised by Miss Showed, and managed by Ivan Larson, consisted of Allan Spraggins, Donald Lowe, and Warren Bowman. cast of characters Mr. Ingals ------ Clarence Fowler Mrs. Ingals ------ Louise Shannon Lois Ingals ----- Phyllis Underwood Bradford Ingals - - - - - - Ward Bowman Hugh Ingals ------ Payton Reid Dagmar Carroll - Dorothy Skillingstad Granny ------ Kathleen Hart Noel Derby ------ Milton Morris Elliott Kimberly ----- Stanley States Leo Day ------- Ivan Larson Maid ------- Almeda Wrage Aunt ------- Bessie Cyran Cousin ------- Douglas Crowder - % c4 l; 11 aquamis 5 k Trail ‘‘Second Childhood.” a farce comedy, was presented April 19 and 20, under the direction ol Miss Marion Barclay. In the story, Prof. Relyea has discovered a new liquid called the “Elixir of Youth. He hos experimented of jack rabbits, cats, etc., turning them back to a younger age. He is very much enthused about the results, and so determines to experiment on a human being. General Burbeck, an old rich man. is in love with Sylvia, the Professor’s daughter. He wishes to marry her. but she does not want him because he is so old, and because she loves Philip Stanton, the Profes- sor’s assistant. The Professor is in some financial trouble and wishes the General to lend him ten thousand dollars. The General decides to give it to him if he guarantees the “Elixir. The Professor is called from the room, leaving the General to think it over. When he returns he finds that the General has taken the whole bottle and changed into a baby. Complications arise, but. after all difficulties have been solved, it ends very abruptly and happily. This was one of the best plays ever put on in Arlington by a high school cast. The stage force, under the management of Allan Spraggins, advised by Miss Showell, consisted of Don Lcwe and Carl Lang.

Infants die of painters colic! Heavy mortality in the A. H. S! If the Arlington Eagle had been in existence last September these start- ling headlines would have appeared, perchance. After a week of preparation, with the Freshies appearing in short pants and green ribbons, the final act of the tragedy, or comedy, was staged. The luckless Freshies were blindfolded at the foot of the stairs, and then treated to a delicious mess of onions, cascara. and vinegar. Then barefooted, and still blindfolded, they began their pilgrimage down the fir needled trail that leads back of the gym balcony. Incidentally, all of the needles did not stay on the floor. A blast of gas and the shriek of a siren then revived the rapidly sinking Freshies. and they passed down to the foot of the stairs where they were again rendered hors de combat by contact with the business end of a spark coil. The painters unions next put in an appear- ance, with great enthusiasm, but little regard to color harmony. The blindfolds were then removed from all but the class officers and they were treated to an egg sham- poo, calculated to improve their brains and beauty. The rest of the evening was spent in games and dancing until the Juniors got generous and put out a feed of ice cream and wafers. This finished off the tottering Freshies, so every one called it a day and went home. Freshman-Sophomore Party On the evening of the Frosh-Soph party there were gathered in the gym shy little Freshies and Sophomores. Curtsies and sweeping bows were the usual mode of salutation. Blushes weren’t uncommon, or winks either. The gym was decorated by the Sophs, and a pretty sight it was. Gay strands of green and white were strung across the hall, and the gym was a jolly place indeed. The program consisted of various stunts put on by the two classes, and was heartily enjoyed by all. This was good training for those new heroes and heroines of the future school plays. The next amusement was dancing. Not only the new dances, but circle two steps and schottish of our grandmothers’ day were danced. Every one danced whether they knew how or not. The refresnments were given by the Freshman class and consisted of ice cream and wafers. They were served in the cafeteria, and how those underclassmen did eat. Every one had a good time and got acquainted, thus making the school year more pleasant and less lonely. —Jeanette Cushen. The Junior Prom The annual Junior Prom was held in the American Legion pavilion on the evening of April 5th. The decorations were very beautiful. Alternate green and white strips were draped across the building, giving the effect of a low- arched ceiling. The end walls were decorated in much the same manner, and the side walls with vertical hangings of green and white. The punch booth and the orchestra stand were decorated alike with narrow strip drapes as curtains and arched across the front. The committee in charge was Gilmore Reese. Jeanette Cushen, and Bill Windsor. The music was furnished by the Washington Ramblers, the very popular jazz orchestra. The music was excellent and the floor was in very good condition. The programs were in green and white, with the cover printed in gold. They were very attractive, and many are being saved as momentos of the occasion. The committee in charge of music and programs was Syd Pautzke, Dorothy Skillingstad and Aileen Sampson. The punch was served from the artistic punch booth by the following com- mittee: Luke Tyrell. Erma Tyler, Anna Tyler, and Ruth Lowe. Bright frocks made the hall vivid with color, the floor was good, the music was good, and the crowd was just right for dancing. The 1929 prom may be voted a success in all particulars. —Jeanette Cushen. Football Banquet The annual county football banquet was held at Monroe cn December 4th. The toastmaster was A. F. Mahaffey, principal of the Monroe High School.
