SCHOOL MEWS HE cake sales held spasmodically by the Junior 3-1 Class, during the past term, turned out successfully. As an average a profit of $2.50 was made on each sale. The class sincerely hopes that the sales will continue to be as profitable as they have been so far. Judging from the reports brought back by the Seniors of their trip to Washington, the Junior class anticipates with much pleasure the spending of its funds. The first important social affair of the school year was a Hallo- '■e en Dance held by the Senior-1 class. Both decorations and costumes were unique, and made a fitting prelude to the series of social activi- ties held by that class during the year. On the evening of January 15, the Class of February 1921 held their Junior Prom. The hall was prettily decorated for the occasion. Everyone who attended the affair pronounced the affair a great success. 1 he Senior l’s have been selling chocolate at school, and by so do- ing have made a large addition to the funds in their treasury. 1 he Senior 1 Class held an informal dance on the sixteenth of April. I he hall was decorated with balloons. A good time was enjoy- ed by all. A Strawberry Festival and Dance was held in Masonic Hall on f riday evening, June 4, by the Senior 1 class. During a half-hour inter- mission refreshments, consisting of cake, ice-cream and strawberries, were served. The evening proved a great success, both financially and socially. 1 he 4-2 Seniors held a bazaar on the evenings of February 19 and 20 in the High School rooms. The novelty booths attracted many pa- trons on both nights while dancing, too, was enjoyed. Nearly all those present visited the tea room where refreshments were served. Grab bags and a “funny-man” entertainment amused the children. Both teachers and pupils were much pleased with the results. A supper was served by the girls of the Senior 4-2 class in the Masonic Hall on March 19. The tables were prettily decorated with twenty-two

Place: Hotel Dewey, Washington, D. C. Oh-o-o-o-o, I’m a great deal worse off then Emil, if you girls would only believe it. Tough luck, Helen ! ! ! A certain group of 2-1 girls are thinking of chipping together to buy a bottle of 3 in 1 oil for a certain fellow in Spanish class. They have heard that this is a fine remedy for scratchy throats. Miss Jackson will have to get armed guards to guard the door from returning physical torture students. They will insist upon en- tering before the period is over. We might hint though, that the 2-1 inmates don’t object at all to this intrusion. Miss Hill is very busy in the social line. Many invitations are issued daily to come to tea parties in her room after school. P. S. You are kindly requested to bring your own refreshments. The Sophomore 2-1 class is trying hard to think up ways and means to increase their class funds. They will probably continue to think but that’s all. Miss Jackson’s star Latin 2-1 class will capture all honors in the final exams. Mr. Sella, star entertainer, helps very much to increase the knowledge of the class. Miss O’Neil and another senior were going down the hall. “Mj don’t those Freshmen go slow.” We were Sophomores not Freshmen and we demand an apology, Miss O’Neil. Mr. Stackpole, “Giesen, do any proposition in either Book I or Book II. Giesen (throwing himself about his seat and pushing his book aside) “Aw, I can’t.” One day last week Miss Haitinger took a nap and in English she seemed quite confused as one of her exclamations proves. She said, “I don’t like Silas Marner but it’s a good book.” tzi’cnly-onc

flowers and a most substantial supper was served. The credit for the latter belongs largely to the mothers who so willingly came to the aid of the class. The trip to Washington, the source of many day and night dreams on the part of the 4-2 Seniors has at last been realized. Accompanied by Mr. Collester and Miss Ruth Smith, through whose advice and un- tiring efforts this trip had been made possible, the senior class left for Washington on the 13th of May. Stopping at Philadelphia the party visited the Mint, Betsy Ross House, Independence and Congress Halls. In the afternoon the party left Philadelphia and proceeded on to the capitol city where they stopped at the Dewey Hotel. Many points of interest including the Capitol building, Washington Monument, and Congressional Library were visited. A sight seeing tour covering many of the remaining points of interest in Washington was also enjoyed. sail up the Potomac to Mt. Vernon and a complete survey of the estate was made. The party also drove through the National Cemetery at Arlington. After a three days’ stay at the capital, the seniors de- parted for home with a fuller and deeper appreciation of the capital of the Nation and with a firm determination to advance, uphold, and cherish American Ideals. The last enterprise held by the Seniors was in the form of an en- tertainment consisting of two plays followed by dancing, held on the May 25 and 26. “How A Woman Keeps A Secret” and “My Turn Next” were the two plays presented. Both plays were very well rend- ered by the members of the class. Several selections were rendered by the High School orchestra and Mr. H. Alyea gave a ’cello selection. Music for the dancing was furnished by the Hilton orchestra. The Sophomore 2-2 Class has held several successful events during the past school year. A dance which was held in the early part of the term, was a record occasion. It was probably the best attended of any of the afternoon dances of the season. An Orange Social, a novelty dance and reception, was also given by the Sophomore 2-2 Class. It consisted of a program followed by games and dancing. The admission was an orange and a cent for every seed in it. Later Orangeade was made from the oranges and served with cake. The Class tried to see that everyone was satisfied and the results indicated that they were. The Class concluded the season by a trip up the Hudson River to West Point on June 12. The first meeting of the Freshmen 1-1 was held Oct. 6, 1919, when they elected Mr. Brunning and Miss Bailey, President and Vice Presi- dent of the class. At a later meeting Mr. Rhinehart was made Histor- ian; Mr. Brown, Treasurer; Miss Sorblum, Secretary. twenty-three
