HEQLQJITS THE FAVORITE CONTEST When the time came to elect candidates for the favorites for our annual, there was manifest a spirit of competition among the High School grades. Each grade elected their own candidates and they were to try to put these over. The Fresh- men combined with the Seniors the first day and were to help put over their can- didates. The Juniors heard of this and at once asked the Sophomores to help them elect their favorites. The Freshmen and Seniors had candy sales, and sold hamburgers on the streets, anything to raise money to buy votes. They raised more money to use than we had expected and thought that surely they would win without a doubt. But the Juniors and Sophomores did the same thing, but were not as good sales- men as the others and did not raise as much money. But when the last day came they had put over their candidates. We had not remembered the play they had put on and had received half of the proceeds. They had also sacriiced some of the little luxuries that they had been accustomed to and brought their pennies and nickles to school to buy votes for their favorites and they won, by electing three of their own candidates. The other side elected one of theirs. We know that the Seniors and Freshmen worked hard and earnestly, but the Juniors and Sophomores worked harder and went over the top. We must hand it to them for being workers and stickers. THE LITERARY WORK When school opened this year we were notified that we were to have a High School Literary Society. Each grade elected a president, secretary, and what other officers they needed, and started to work. This society met every Thurs- day afternoon and demonstrated to the school and public what they could do. Each class took its turn about conducting the meetings and we had some great times. We had debates, short plays and readings. Some of the plays were original and were full of comedy and laughs. They might be written about another class that was supposed to conduct the exercises the next time. Especially the Juniors and Seniors would hit at each other in every way possible. Another new organization is the Glee Club. It is made up of the best material from the High School and has furnished some wonderful music under the direc- tion of Miss Orrick. Page seventy ,
