A student council was introduced into our High School this term. The problems of the council were to make decisions as to what organi- zations should receive awards, and also to set up rules for the use of the ping pong room and many other problems too numerous to men- tion. The membership was made up of class representatives, elected by the students. Our representatives were Ione Heim and Bill Hasen- yager. We presented the Junior class play, Happy Birthday. It was a great success. Miss Lucille Marker directed the play. The cast was as follows: 1 Jerome Carter 1---.,-,-.-,-..,-..--.-,. Wilbur Bruhn Jerry, his friend and room mate -..A 1-..

SCHOOL DAYS The play was a farce centered around Aunt Sissy, who dropped in on her nephew for an unexpected visit. Jerry, who was behind on his rent, had told his landlady that his Wealthy aunt was coming, thinking she would let him stay, which she did. Marlena was dressed like the aunt, and introduced to the Robards when the real Aunt Sissy came. After the real Aunt Sissy arrived, Lola, the artist model, thought she would help Jerry out, and also came as an Aunt Sissy. It was really a predicament for Jerry, but all ended well. Ada, the maid, was a favor- ite with the audience. The crowd was kept in an uproar from begin- ning until the Very end! We are really glad that the people enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed putting it on! Next came our Banquet for the Seniors. We all journeyed to Old Mexico. This was the theme throughout the entire affair. Room II at the school house was Old Mexico to us. It was brightly decorated with bright crepe paper and lights. Wilbur Bruhn acted as toastmaster and the following program was presented: M-Muchachos Howdy .,.. ., ,... ,- .,.... ....-- .,,, -- Wilbur Bruhn E-El Gracias ,..---c,a-,. ,... ---.- .--H .... ---, N..- William Gibbs X- XD Tacy -.. ..,,., A ,,.l..... ---.-.----- Miss Lucille Marker Trio -. ..a..a.,i Maxine Kemist, Bette Riley, Marian Ulmer I-Inspiration M-, ,a.Y W .a,,.. -vw --.Wm Miss Marian Peterson C-Congratulations, Seniors ,,,.,,...r.. ........
