Marjorie Wirth Everyone will remember Judy the negro cook, and also the horse race. The Community Orchestra furnished us with some excellent music. john Barnett entertained between acts. We had a large crowd, and the money will help us very much in our last year of school. CIRCUS We sold the papers published by the Curtis Publishing Company again this year. There were two sides, the Red and the Green. The Reds won. The symbols were a Lion and a Lamb. The losers had to give the winners a Circus. We had every kind of an animal: we even had bare back riders. Everyone certainly had a good time, but some had a few bruises when they got home. Refreshments were served. Besides the fun we received from it, we got some money with which to buy some new books for our library. As soon as the new books came, the students did a lot of reading, but not on their lessons. CHRISTMAS PARTY Mr. and Mrs. Forster entertained the faculty at a real Christmas dinner December nineteenth. After dinner Santa Claus came and the teachers re- ceived many gifts. Mrs. Troyer seemed to get the largest package. THE SENIOR BENEFIT PROGRAM On the evening of March fourth, the Christian Endeavor society of the St. IVIatthew's Lutheran church of Princeton, presented the play, Old Fash- ioned Mothern, in the auditorium. This play was sponsored by the Senior Class. The play was very good and was thoroughly enjoyed by those pres- ent. Igit

THE BEURO TEACHERS RECEPTION The Board of Education always holds a reception for the teachers the first week of school. This year it took the form of a weiner roast. After this there was a program in the auditorium. The new teachers were intro- duced and all old teachers told of the ways in which they spent the sum- mer. Teachers were greeted by members of each Board. SOPHOMORE CLASS PARTY Well! the Sophomores gave a party. It was supposed to be a Hallo- we'en Party and it sure was. lf you had been there you would still be scared. Those poor Freshmen. It almost scared a year's growth from them. And you should have seen those Seniors. l actually believe you would have lost two pounds and lots of old age laughing at them. Of course they thought it couldn't be done-but-well, it was anyway. After we had a little excitement, Mr. Prince had a few games that we played. We all had fun. Ask Oley how the boxing match came out. After the games we had a lunch. Sweet cider, sandwiches, pickles, and apples were served. Everyone had a good time and enjoyed themselves. A prize was given for the best costume. Who was it? just guess. Well, it was Mike . After getting into his sister's clothes he managed to make himself look like a flirt. lndeed he was. Mr. and Mrs. Litwiller from Buda were also at the party. Everyone was glad to see them. -john Eichmeier. THE 4-H CLUB Our 4-H Club has been organized for a number of years and it is in- creasing in profits every year. ln I927 there were sixty-six ribbons won and 5266.00 in prize money at the Bureau County Fair. Lawerence Wilson again attended the lnternational this year. Al- though Lawerence is not a Club Member at the present time he was one of the earliest members of our club. There are two Girls Clubs this year, the Booming Bakers and the Needles and Pins. With Mary johnson as leader of the Booming Bakers and Gertrude Chase, leader of the Needles and Pins, both clubs have made a good record. Mr. Forster is our Club Leader and has certainly done more than his share to make the Club a success. OFFICERS: President ....................,....,...... Harold Anderson Vice President ...... ,....
