Climaxing the evening was the crown- ing of the Carnival Queen and King, Frances Earle Flesher and Bob Reeds, who were the senior representatives and winners of this contest. Then, to prove that seniors are not neces- sarily dignified all the time, they celebrated with a kid party at the Legion Hut, December 11. For the annual Christmas program, the seniors gave the play, Christmas Gift, be- fore the student body. Those who participated in this program were Lerae Richmond, La Veme Witt, Addie Lou Gecks, Barbara Macklin, Vida Cartmill, Martha Dean Harr, Pauline McPheeters, Jack Newman, Bob Van Antwerp, Melvin Rigdon, and Kenneth Aldrich. At the close of the program, the seniors spon- sored a Christmas tree at which time the pupils of Edmond high school exchanged gifts with Ralph Payne acting as Santa Claus. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Hallum and Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Jones, class parents, gave a New Year's eve masquerade dance and watch party honoring the graduating class. On March 17 this class presented its annual play., Tomboy, in which sixteen students participated. This three act comedy aff, Q A R X-i t W? T ' ' v' was the story of a successful lawyer who had always wanted a son but was blessed with three daughters. This resulted in his beringing up his youngest child to be a tomboy who soon became a state golf champion. The title role was taken by Addie Lou Gecks, On Friday, May 6, the seniors were enter- tained by the juniors with a party at the Legion hut followed by a preview, College Swing, at the Broncho theater.

A heated race among three girls, Mildred Otto, Pauline McPheeters, and Addie Lou Gecks, for honors of Valedictorian and Saluta- torian was one of most interest during the last six weeks of school.
