Although it was necessary to have meet- ings outside of school hours the staff and spon- sor willingly gave their time toward the com- pletion of this book, After a year of editing the Colby Hi-Life, this group now has a better idea of how a paper is published.

The paper is issued every two weeks and is distributed to the high school and junior high free of charge. A large circulation list has been continued including papers exchanged with 75 schools in ten different states and those sent to the many merchants buying advertising space. The Hi-Life staff has done a splendid job this year and the continued success of the paper is expected in future years.

The Colby Chapter of Future Homemakers of America was first organized in 1946. Since that date the girls in the organization have steadily increased their activities and projects. To be eligible for membership a student must be taking a home economics course or have com- pleted a semester of it. One of the main purposes of the F. H- A. is to further the interest in home economics which is accomplished by carrying out projects throughout the year and working on degrees. The degrees are Junior, Chapter, State, and National. When the girls complete their degrees they receive pins of gold or silver to wear. H. A. M X... v V Second row: fleft to rightj C.Swanlund, R. Lyons, C. Del- zeit, I. McKinney, M. Henry R.

The colors of the chapter are red and white which symbolize the courage and purity of youth. The rose is the chapter flower and is symbolic of vibrant health. Toward New Horizons is the motto and expresses the feeling and purpose of the organization, for its aim is to improve and to better our school in the years to come. This year the girls participated in the World Christmas Festival, National F, H, A, Week, State Conference and the District Conference. The Colby Chapter was host to the District Con- ference this year. Some of the projects in the school were the all-school Mardi Gras, the Christmas Chili Supper for the F.

The year was off to a suc- cessful start with a bonfire and snake dance on Franklin just before the first football game. The Eagle Meter, which received grand re- commendations from Washington, registered the volume of yells and winners of song and yell contests. Long will be remembered Sheila I-laller's speech on Ernest Eagle eagerly desiring that everyone would earnestly support the Eagles. Attic Buffalo, a famous dancer, was one of the first visitors of the year. Colby Grit washed the Norton team clean as a whistle. Shermie and Goodie 'entertained in a one ring circus. King Football reigned supreme at the end of the season, as did King Wrestling. Original skits were presented by each class which varied all the way from a wedding to an opera. These skits were equally beneficial to the support of each sport, and were enjoyed immensely.

Coach Thom- sen was an alternate on the Olympic wrestling team and was National A. A. U. champion in 1948. -I EAGLE MATMEN WIN STATE CHAMPIONSHIP call for muscle men brought forth 26 hopefuls. Of these, there were sixteen lettermen. The dual matches during the season furnished the matmen with valuable experience which was to carry them to success in following tourna- ments. The following is a brief resume of the in- dividual wrestling highlights. ln the upper left hand corner is Larry Henry, a senior, who battled through truly tough com- petition to become a League and Regional cham- pion in the l381b. class. He dropped only one dual meet and came in fourth at State. To his right is Gerald Smith. Gerald, a traditional winner on the Colby squad, swept through an undefeated dual meet and tournament season. Gerd strengthened his honor by going to l65 lb. for the League to take that title even though he normally wrestled at l-15 lb. A senior, Gerald copped his second State championship at the State meet. Dean Larsen spotted several pounds this year to wrestle in the 165 lb. bracket.

The title of the play was Cannibal Queen by Robert St. Clair. The three acts took place in the Craig House, a typical midwestern hotel. In the play Brenda Day had the great ambi- tion to have the lead in the local play. To get the part Brenda had to disguise herself well enough to fool her dramatic director, Eugenia Sherwood. Bruce Clark, Brenda's fiance, was to lose his job as reporter unless he wrote a good front page story. In the meantime Allen Kent was in trouble with his rich uncle because he had written that he was bringing a Cannibal Queen home with him from the islands and failed to do so. ln order to help Allan and for their own benefit, Bruce had Brenda pose as the Cannibal Queen with the help of Daisy Mae Comfort, lsucious, and Mrs. Craig. All goes well until Mary and Robert Fremont try to discredit Allen so they will inherit Prof. Kent's money. lnidoing this they revealed that Brenda was a fake and the arrival of Ju-Ju, the real Cannibal Queen, made it definite. However, in the end, Prof. Kent forgave Allen, Brenda got the lead in the play, Bruce did not lose his job and all was well. The student director and manager was Mary Schroeder and the promptor was Lucille Brem- enkamp. OLD DOC Old Doc was the title of the senior play which was presented April ZZ. This play was a comedy-drama given in three acts. SENIOR PLAY CAST .'l'lllRD ROW, left to right: Ni. Moritz, Dr. llrand: R. Horqcsoui, Mr. Hupplug V. Rzisniiiesi-ti, Paltrow-ti: l.
