fConcludedj In October our Senior Class went on a hayride to Mr. McElwee's home where we were entertained with a wiener roast and various games and con- tests.

' Social Activities During our Freshman year we were so studious that we did not have any class parties. However, in May, 1951, the entire high school had a pic- nic at Lake White. We were chaperoned by Mrs. McMahon and Mr. Glauner. As Sophomores we, together with the Freshmen in our biology class, went for a nature trip through Mr. McKenzie's upper woods. With assistance from our teacher, Mr. Wright, we collected various specimens, including a bat and a hornet's nest which the boys were determined to bring back to class. During the fall of our Junior year, delegates from all the high schools of Highland County participated in a series of conservation trips. Our Junior Class had two-delegates: Wilma Jean McKenzie and Glenna Williamson. A little later that fall, we took a hayride to Mr. McElwee's where we had a wiener roast and games. Following, we all climbed aboard McKenzie's truck and went to the theater, serenading Hillsboro with our country voices as we rode. On May 15, 1953 we gave our traditional Junior-Senior Banquet in honor of the Senior Class. u At 7:00 P. M. dinner was served in the school cafeteria to a group of thirty-four people. The toastmaster was Donald Walker. The Invocation was given by Mrs. Wisecup, Phyllis Leininger, President of the Senior Class, responded to a welcome given by Glenna Williamson of the Junior Class. Toasts were given by Mr. McElwee and Mr. Jenkins. The cafeteria was decorated with ferns and spring flowers corresponding to the class colors. Following the dinner we went to the gaily decorated gym for entertainment. Everyone had an enjoyable evening. We experienced our first real try at dramatics when we presented our Junior Class Play entitled Aunt Tillie Goes to Town , October 24, 1952. Under the direction of Mrs. Leone Wisecup, our efforts to perform this three- act comedy proved to be a success. The cast was as follows: Tillie Trask .....................
