He happens to be the teacher. It's Student Day, remember? April showers brought the showboat to town in the form of the Auroran Variety Show. As the students boarded the showboat to shove off, we all realized that there's no business like show business. Suddenly a change came over all of us. We slept in our favorite classes, our heads began to swim, and our thoughts turned away from school toward vacation. Yes, the little green gremlin, spring fever, had invaded our sanctuary. The seniors began to get a little nervous and sometimes even sad. On April 17 everyone had a big date for the senior dance. They felt a little more dignified on this occasion, as this was the last dance they were to sponsor. Class Day came. We read our Specs with en- thusiasm. Baccalaureate was greeted with a ser- iousness that was never felt before. The seniors brushed up on their etiquette for the banquet and danced 'til the wee hours at the prom. And then the whirl of events was over. Their happy dream had ended. They soon found themselves standing on the field in caps and gowns singing Alma Mater as they had never sung before. It had been a joyous year. It had been a hard working year. It had been one of the best years of their lives. L Victors of the individual speaking events in the Big Eight Debate tournament were V. Furnish and I.. Winimeirgren. 2. Running the school for a day seems to be an easy job for R. Shaw, D. Johnson, and J. Burkel, Student Day officers. 3. E. Miller, J. Millen, D, Leesley, and P. Meadal take each other's measurements for caps and gowns.
