1 HTI f KFN ]R)(fTW X -njinAnnjXf3 OUR SCHOOL The enrollment this year showed very little variation from that of last year. In the fall of 1930 there were 290 enrolled, in 1931 there were 289, and 22 Post Graduates made a total of 311. Of the 289, 131 are boys and 158 are girls. The wide variety ot activities, both curricular and extra-curricular, which are offered, attracts a large number of non-resident students. At the beginning of the year there were 102 registered, but that number has decreased to 90. Some of the most distant towns represented are Purdum, Milburn, Dunning, Oconto, and Anselmo. Several new subjects have been added this year and have gained a permanent place on the curriculum since they have been interesting as well as instructive. The new subjects offered are Debate, which was taught by Mr. Rice; Commercial Law, taught by Mr. Lightbody, and Journalism, taught by Miss Sagl. The Junior-Senior banquet last year was held the evening of May 6th at the Public Service Club-rooms. The Dutch motif was carried out in the decorations which produced a very quaint effect. The President of the Junior class, Melvin Ayers, presided as Toastmaster and toasts were given by Mr. Benthack, Jean Kuns, Wesley Dunn, George McArthur, Walter Schnabel, Carlos Schaper, and Irene Nicodemus. The Baccalaureate service was held at the Methodist church the evening of May 17, 1931. Rev. E. L. George delivered the sermon and music was furnished by Mr. Stark, the Orchestra and the Chorus. Junior Recognition Day was May 19. On this occasion the Juniors formally recognize the Seniors by a special program followed by a reception for the Seniors and the guests. May 20th was Class Day, in charge of the Seniors. The Will, Prophecy and History were read and musical numbers were given by members of the class. The Commencement program was held at the Methodist Church, May 21. The address was given by Rev. Roy Smith, formerly of Simpson Church, Minneapolis. He was received so enthusiastically by the audience that the Administration has secured him for the address again this year. UOTLjnJTJTJ-mjnj UiKM

Thus every year there are two who retire and two newly elected to take their places. Mr. F. A. Bates is the President of the Board, and one of the prominent merchants of Broken Bow. He has served since 1925. Dr. G. E. Pennington, the Vice-President, is a physician. He has been a member twice—first from 1927-19JO, and was elected again in 1931. Mr. A. F. Mackie, the Secretary, is a merchant, whose term began in 1930. Mrs. D. R. Garton is one of the active and influential patronesses of the sch x l. She was elected in 1927. Rev. W. A. Baldwin, the Christian minister, is another member who has been on the Board twice, first from 1920-1923, and his present term began in 1931. Mrs. W. S. Schneringer is a charming Funeral Director and a capable leader of community affairs. She was elected in 1931. These six people have shown themselves to be judiciously liberal in policy and generously open to suggestions from others. Their interests are for the welfare of the pupils, and their decisions, sometimes very difficult because of unusual circumstances, are made as a result of careful study. They give their time and energy gratis to a task which demands much of both while offering too little gratitude in return U-UTJTJT-n-nJTTLJTJ jTJTjnjTJ iJTjnjTJTjHjn nji rLrij I'hkc Srvrn
