OLD ROSE AIND GREEN Tage 23 CHAPTER IV Many of us meet the end of our high school career with sighs, some of relief and others of regret. XVe dislike to think of not taking part in the many activities of the coming years and yet we are anxious for a chance to prove ourselves. XVe feel that this year has been a successful one in many ways. Five of our members received football letters, two received basket ball letters and Lewis Nugent was a very good captain. Miss Main has been our sponsor this year and she deserves :1 great deal of credit for our success. Orvil Carrington and Blythe Robertson were re-elected to their respective offices and Clarence Rogers chosen Vice president. Lewis Nugenit was elected vice president of the Athletic Association and Mildred Garvin, Albert Tomek and Jack Hamlin class representatives. , W'e have had but two parties this year, the first was a picnic at the 01d Tally tVag Club. Several people found out that hamburger is very tempting sometimes. On December twelfth the Seniors entertained the foot hall letter- men at a dinner in the Domestic Science Room. Slouch Day came on Tuesday, March. thirteenth. Everybody looked ridiculous and some of them almost uncomfortable. A half day in ttattic attiren was enough for most everyone so we returned at noon looking much the same as usual. Practice on our play ttThe Tail-or-Made Manh has begun and promises to be an unusual success. e13. Y. E 3651 CLHSS WILL g , City of Central City, County of Merrick, State of Nebraska.
