Bean, H Crunk, M Boatright, I Anderson, M Brown, D. Courier, B. Brasel. An extremely important factor in our extra-curricular activities has been our noon-programs held in the gymnasium. Originally intended to provide some sort of entertainment for those people who do not return home for lunch, these programs have become so attractive that more and more people who have been going home at noon are bringing their lunches in order to attend the programs. One day a week is set aside for dancing and another, for basketball or volleyball. The remaining programs are taken care of by the various organizations in the school. Standing: D. May, R. Lentz, J. Lynch, W. Preusse, E. McGuire. Seated: D. Karcher, N. Magers, D. Mabuce, B. Moeller, A. Postman, E. Lindenberg, H. Meyer, R. Lampe. t 19

There has always been a great deal of rivalry between them, but, this year, with the influence of our noon programs and all-school parties, we have become a much more unified group. Members of the freshman class work hand in hand with seniors to plan and direct our very successful all-school parties. Class parties have almost entirely disappeared in favor of those in which the entire school may take part. Dancing has been the favorite recreation, but cards, bingo, and Chinese checkers have been equally important as forms of entertainment. Standing: P. Rheinecker, J. Stoiiel, L. Usher, W. McEuin, L.

The results of the noon-programs are far-reaching. The halls have almost become deserted. The study hall has become an excellent place for those who wish to study, since the noisemakers are expending their excess energy in the gym. The program, which consists of dancing, was established partly to help those boys and girls who did not dance to learn. Some of our former “wallflowers are now the most experienced “jitterbugs at our all-school parties. Another popular program this year was one in which Mr. Simmons gave talks on football and each member of the team showed exactly what he was to do in the game. Many who had not been acquainted with football before became enthusiastic fans. Back row: A. Hennrich, K. White, L. Wittenbrink, G. Harris. W. Green, A. Hoenig, L. Groene, W Hettesheimer.
