PARTIES On Friday night Octobr 29, the Sophomores and juniors entertained the Freshmen and Seniors at a Hallowe'en party held at the D. C. H. S. Gym. This was the first all class party of the school term and took the form of a gypsy conclave. Everyone came dressed as a hobo or gypsy. After many obstructions in entering the building, one first noticed the excellent decoration for the occasion. Many interesting games were played after which lunch was served. The second all High School party was held on February 11. The party was given by 'the Freshmen and Seniors. The only prize awarded was to Mr. Alleman for his art in sculpturing an animal out of a given wad of gum and a tooth pick. Many other interesting games were played after which lunch was served. The Freshmen will long remember this party as the heavy rains slightly bleached their green color. 1.l . SUMMER How beautiful is the rose, and how sweet The perfume it sheds as the summer breeze Gently lifts its petals. In green leafed trees Birds are twittering, safe from the sun's heat. They chatter gaily in their cool retreat. Through the bright sunshine the industrious bees Are carrying honey to their hives. The leaves Are whispering to downy clouds that fleet Across the sky. What a beautiful day Is to-day! Everything seems to be glad. I am happy, for who could be downcast When all of nature is so bright and gay? Come, join the tune of summer, don't be sad. Flying all cares to the wind! Let joy be fast! Evaline Vehmeier, '28 W tiggfifiege 9- 5tE754l t79+'i'i?fi+'5fsfe 1 9 2 7 95'-fi?i43ff?i?3Fte'-QQEEQ1 irietili-'fl Page seventeen
