The Sophomore Party The Sophomore party, held on April 22, was a huge social, as well a. financial success. (This was due to the splendid turnout of the Freshmen who seemed anxious to attend.) The music was furnished by Art Boyer and his Californians. Each Freshman was given a bright green tie free of charge. Special ties were given to Mrs. Marsh and Mr. Kostrzak, Freshmen advisors. The lunch was served in an extremely different and successful manner. It consisted of potato salad, (we noted the Freshmen ate the salad with great relish), sandwiches, cookies, and coffee and was served at tables which were set up in classrooms. In all probability this method of serving will be used hereafter in the C. H. S. Dancing was also most unique. (Especially that of the Freshmen). Dances consisted of robber’s waltzes, ladies choice and tag dances. The dancing continued until twelve o’clock. Rumors tell the “Sophies” that theirs was the most successful dance of the season. With Boyer making music It was a great success, Why the Freshmen came at all We now leave you to guess. GIRL’S CLUB The Girl’s Club met November 10. 1937 to organize and elect officers. The following officers were elected: Hazel Harris, President; Marion Hed, Vice President; and Hazel Yocum, Secretary-Treasurer. The following week a pot luck supper and dance was given. Music was furnished by Mrs. Hazel Ferguson. The next meeting was planned for December 8, 1937. On December 3 the girls met and drew names for the exchanging of Christmas gifts. It was decided that a pot luck supper be held on December 8, and gifts exchanged at that time. The Girls’ Club ordered emblems with a red cardinal on a white background. These were sold in the High school and Grade school. Another “Pot Luck”, and dance was given May 11, 1938. A picnic was held with the money collected during the year. SENIOR CLASS PICNIC For the past few years it has been a custom for the Seniors to have an annual “Skip Day”. But instead of having a Skip Day and also taking another trip for a picnic, the Senior Class decided to combine the two into one, and on Monday, ‘May 16, the class went by truck to Vogel’s Park, at the picturesque Dells of the Eau Claire River. Ice cream and pop were furnished and each person brought his own lunch. SENIOR BANQUET AND SENIOR DANCE On Wednesday, May 13, the Senior Class will hold a farewell banquet at the Hotel Crandon. The faculty will be present at this affair. After the Ranquet, the class is holding a return dancing party for the Juniors in the High School Assembly. This is given in return for the Prom and takes the place of the banquet for the Juniors. A lunch, proceeds of which will be given to the Athletic or “C” club, will be served at intermission. The Sophomores and Freshman arc also invited to attend this party, since it is a school affair. At the dance the Seniors will wear their caps and gowns, making it a Senior Night, instead of the usual Senior Day.

Social News The Senior Carnival The- Senior Carnival, sponsored by the class of 1938, was quite a success. L ue to the cooperation of the school and the whole community, it went over with a ‘‘bang . ilhe main shows put on by the Juniors was an imitation of a Jack Benny Radio Broadcast. Dirfeient high -school students impersonated Frea Alien, Jack Benny, Don V?iison, Boo Burns, Tizzie Lish, Fibber McGee, Kenny baker, Mary Livingston, Henry Bosse, Martha Rae, Eleanor Poweil and others. The actors were equally as good, it not better than the real stars. The All Star Revue, tcatunng many local dancers, was as good as any Follies or floor show; trucking, shagging, the big apple, rhumba, and tapping were expertly done. The Troiessor Quizz show was interesting and educational and aroused quite a bit of interest. The House of Yvcnders, where frogs and snakes represented a variety of pickles, a trying pan, a .black spider and others drew the attention ox many. The bingo game and the dart game drew crowds in the game of chance room. Many expert pox.r piayers completely iaued at -playing ’‘dart-poker.” The dance was enjoyed by all. Gene Kocian and his 'Mimicking Musicians gave lortn iocs ox rcai All in all, the Carnival was a success because of the cooperation of the students, the donations, and cooperation of the -local merchants. Bigger and better carnivals may be held, but none will offer any better time tnan the one of 1938. lo all the helpful students, parents, merchants and friends we wish to extend thanks ana to Jimmie raulkner, the “push” behind the success of the carnival, our appreciation. The Junior Promenade The Junior Promenade of May sixth was well attended and it is believed that ail present enjoyed themselves. The High School students thrilled at being able to be lormai ac tne one ‘o.g” event. The outsiders as well as students were pleased with the music of Frank Corsi and his orchestra from Iron Mountain. The decorations were cause for much discussion. The theme, “Rainbow” was displayed in its best enect with pots of geld as a source of indirect lighting. rlne colored rays of light emerging from within the gold pots were reriected on the many colors combined in the rainbows along the walls. These numerous small rainbows contrasted w.th the huge ones which served as a canopy overhead. The rainbow that made a background for the orchestra was especially delightful due to the footlights on the stage. Two minor arches and a pot oi gold along the front cf the stage seemed to isolate the orchestra from the dancers. A delightful lunch was served on bridge tables in the rooms on the first floor, after which the guests resumed dancing until one o’clock and reluctantly left the gayly trimmed audiiorium. Thus ended the Junior Prom given in honor of the class of ’38. The Freshman Party The Freshman party of January 14, was perhaps the most lively frolic of the school year, with an exception of the Carnival, of course. It was the happy evening that Crandon defeated the White Lake basketball team by a score of twenty-five to eighteen so everyone, including Mr. Krumm, was in high spirits. There was a very large crowd present including quite a few out-of-town people. (No one was lorced to come either). Music was furnished by Gene Kocian and his wonderful Knights of Swing. Lunch was served in the Home Economics room during the intermission. It consisted of coffee, sandwiches, pickles, and cake. (Better than potato salad any time).

Address to the Class of '38 By Virginia Combs • • » • ' • • Up with the anchor and away, • • Patience was never youths mainstay, Upwith the sails, my comrades true, We'll set our bark asailing too.
