BASKETBALL AND SOCIAL EVENTS MAKE ACTIVE WINTER SEASON The basketball games officially ushered in the winter season with its varied activities. As this sport becomes more popular, the attend- ance steadily increases. December brought the long-awaited Christmas vacation with its usual merriment. All the homerooms had parties and exchanged gifts the day before which helped to get everyone into the holiday spirit. Then, too, the annual Christmas program was presented, namely a play, The Mistletoe , which was enthusiastically received by the student body. They were assisted by the Glee Club, which sang a group of carols. Dur- ing the actual vacation, many parties were held outside of school. The class of 1937 had a reunion on December 27, at the Cumberland Hotel, which proved to be an overwhelming success. The senior class gave a party for the classes of '35, '36, '37, '38, and '39 during the holidays. This was the first time that the alumni had been invited to attend a dance at school, and it was a very successful venture. After this all too brief respite from school work, there loomed over us the terrible prospect of mid-years. This always seems an extra bur- den after the carefree vacation. However, even these blights on our school existence were worried through and life took on its former rosy hue. Then the yearbook campaign started in earnest. There were 900 subscribers, indicating a steadily increasing interest. The circulation manager and his helpers worked very hard on the arrangements. To promote the campaign, the various members of the staff spoke in the Junior High auditorium, while Mr. William Gallner spoke to the two senior assemblies. The art department framed the eleven prints which had been pre- viously purchased. These were hung in the various rooms of the school. Then the cast of The Charm School, the Dramatics Club's annual production, started rehearsing. Miss Helen Wilcox took charge of the Dramatics Club this year, replacing Mr. Hitchner. The senior class was Well represented in this play as a glance at the cast will show. I28l
