Those two classes each elected two members of the faculty to select the students. The Jun- iors chose Miss Lamb and Mr. York, and the Seniors chose Mr. Larson and Miss Reynolds. They served with a Student Council elected member, the Principal and Vice-Principal. Activity Ticket New Another new feature of the year is the activity ticket. The price of this ticket was 52.50. This ticket admits the owner to all school activities, including the new lyceum numbers. The first number of the lyceum course was a talk on Alaska. The second number was Corporal Bob Ingleston who gave a lecture on the horrors of war. The third number was the Misner Players, who presented a three-act play, and the fourth and last number, the Elias Tamboritza Serenaders who presented A Night in Yugo- slavia, featuring their tam- boritzas, a Yugoslavian string instrument. Of course, they were all the more enjoyable for the students, and perhaps the faculty should be includ- ed, because they had the sat- isfaction of escaping a few minutes of a dull class. Each Teacher Has Ulm rel I The chapel procedure has been changed this year in that instead of the principal preparing every program as was formerly the custom, each faculty member and each organization had charge of a chapel.

A chapel was pre- sented every Friday of the year. The first semester an hour was displaced every Friday for chap- el. The hours were displaced in their turn. Chapels were opened by the flag salute, and singing the first verse of America. Mr. Stevens thought it a good idea to have a school flag and salute it following the U. S. flag sa- lute, so a contest was held in which students were to write pledges and draw plans for a flag. The best were to be chosen for the official school flag and pledge. A prize of one dollar each was presented to the win- ners. The designer of the best flag was Bill Borland and the author of the flag salute was Orville Kretzmeier. The second semester a regu- lar activity period was set aside The new hobby clubs that were formed this semester met on Mondays and Wednesdays, some meeting every week, some every other week and one meeting once a month. On Tuesday Hi- Y and G. R. metg on Thursdays various permanent clubs, organi- zation staffs met, such as G. R. and I-Ii-Y cabinet meeting, class committees, annual staff, etc., and on Fridays, the regular weekly chapel. , -.
