The Junior Prom, was given at the A. F. S. C. Hall. This was a decided success and can well be said to have been the best ever given. The hall was decorated in the class colors of yellow chrysanthemums and greens were hung from each chandelier, giving a very pretty effect. Ferns were used profusely in decorating the Balcony and Punch Table. SENIOR YEAR. First Semester—President, William Sigurdson; Vice President, Jessie Garner; Secretary Myrtle Linville; Treasurer, Ruth Spande; Editor, Helen Dahlgren; Sergeant-at-Arms, Claudia Malarkey. Second Semester—President, William Sigurdson; Vice President. Dale Howard; Secretary, Martha Jackson; Treasurer, Ersie Mathews; Editor, Helen Dahlgren; Sergeant-at-Arms, Lorens Logan. The Senior class gave a very successful ‘‘Cafeteria - ’ during the first se¬ mester. Several ice cream sales were also given. We are proud to think that some of our class—Eva Bower, Ruth Spande, Sverre Halsan and William Sigurdson—won honors for the school in debate. The class have purchased rings and pins as a remembrance of our High School days. We are also planning to leave a momento to the High School which will be a lasting remembrance of the Class of ’15. And now, after four years, our High School career is drawing to a close. And though we anticipate with pleasure our graduation, yet it is with a feel¬ ing of regret, that we must leave behind us our many friends among the students and faculty. ADVICE Freshmen, Freshmen everywhere, There’s nary a place I roam, But I see a bit of dazzling green, Alone,—just fresh from home. These Freshmen are no earthly use, They’re all to small for the team, ’Tis best they should sit on the nice big lawn, And help to keep it green. 25 —

M„ the parade slowly wended its way through the crowd¬ ed streets and assembled at the Fair Building. Inside the Vaudeville claimed the most people and the Japanese Tea Garden, presided over by quaint [ap maids, also attracted many.
