Lyndus, a new member, may have gotten a late start but it surely does not show up on the work that he did. He was in charge of the write-ups in the opening section of the annual.

The losing of Miss Bleak- ley at the end of the first se- mester was a misfortune for the staff. Topeka High Sehool's gain is our loss. Miss Miller was elected sponsor to guide the annual staff the rest of the year. She had just got- ten a good start on this hard and rocky road when she left us and went to Salina, CTO teaeh.D Mr. York was doubtful as to whether or not he should take up the unfinished work of these two people, but he final- ly decided. in our favor. Not All Work The Annual Staff doesn't have all work. The new staff or the present staff was initi- ated on May 6, 1936, by the old staff. They went to Swenson's lake and there the new staff was duly initiated into their jobs for next year. On December 17, Miss Bleak- ley entertained the Annual Staff at her home. Lyndus Henry was initiated in prepar- ation :for his job. This was a farewell party for Miss Bleak- ley, too, and the staff present- ed her with a gift.

He has charge of the pictures in that section and they're pretty nifty pictures - Don't cha think? Elton and Ralph made the annual pay for itself by soliciting ads from the business men of our city.

Ural English Pioutine One would scarcely need to be told that it is oral something or other, if we were to judge by the sounds that issue from the Oral English room almost any fourth and sixth hours. If one had ventured in, early in the year, he might have thought there was something a bit screwy when he found a group oo-eeing, ah-ahing, walk- ing with books on their heads, stepping around the stage like a swing c h 0 ru s, or going through many laughable pan- tomimes. was only practicing exercises in preparation for later speech activities such as dramatics and debate. The first chapel on Tuesday, October 27, consisted of panto- mimes by individuals and groups and choral readings, Later ehapels were one-act plays, n am ely: i4Wl'Sd0lll Teeth on February 16, A Girl to Order in February. Three one-act plays The Alarm of Fire, The Purple Dre-im, and Dish Towels were presented in an evening performance during national drama week early in February.

A urn I-WWE It To You variety of speeches, interpreta- tive reading, and parliamen- tary law were other speech ac- tivities This group also stud- ies stage scenery and play pro- duction during the year. During the course, every pu- pil was required to do some de- bating and to be in at least one play. Pupils who wished to de- vote the major portion of their speech course to debate stud- ied the question of governmen- tal ownership of electric utili- ties, and represented our school in the league debate tourna- ment which was held at C. C. C. H. S. February 20. Because of their excellent work, Clay Center was able to tie With Junction City by winning eight out of their ten debates. But on resorting to individual rank- ings, it was found that Junc- tion City rated slightly higher than Clay Center. The boys who Won letters in debate are: Oliver Baeke, Lyndus Henry, Howard Johnson, Frederick Dietrich, Billy McIntosh, Har- vey Steffen, Ben T e m p e r -o, John Spellman. These boys were really hot on the de- bate question and they put it across in a big way. The Junior play, I'll Leave it to You, was presented in the high school auditorium Tuesday, November 24, at 8:00 p. m. The play was a three-act comedy written by Noel Cow- ard. The plot centered around Uncle Daniel Davis CJunior Adamsj, a delightful bachelor who entertains his unsuspect- ing relatives with tall tales.
