Not only is it the greatest in size and abundance of knowledge, but it has developed to the highest degree the art of diffusing the minimum of knowledge over a maximum of test paper. In the early autumn, finding it hard to maintain the dignity and stateliness ex- pected of them, the Seniors donned informal attire and stole away to a secluded spot on the Cottonwood. There they indulged in childish gaieties, roasting weinies, tossing stones into the stream, and singlng Sweet Adeline. But after several months of continued respect and admiration from the underclass- men they felt equal to the formality and solemnity of the Senior Banquet, which was the most successful event of the year. The sponsors of this illustrious class are: Miss Hancock, chairman, Miss Rodewald, Miss Sirpless, Miss Jackson, and Mr. Hurt. To them they offer their sincerest thanks and appreciation. Page 21

The December meeting' was a social meeting, a tea, held at the Junior high school. Faculty Wives Club The Faculty Wives Club of the Emporia High Schools had its origin in the fall of 1926, largely through the efforts of Mrs. T. S. Trigg, who became its first president. Its purpose was to furnish opportunities for closer acquaintanceship among the faculty families. The meetings are monthly during the school year with two or three guest days when husbands and children participate. Mrs. J. R. Willianis was president this year. ' A large family picnic at Dryer Park opened the present year's program. Fried chicken, watermelon and other picnic specialties, were furnished in abundance. At Christmas time the entire group was again bountifully served at the Mit-XVay amid beautifully decorated tables and surroundings. Following the dinner a Christmas party was held in the music room of the Lowther Junior High School. During the year a royal welcome has been extended to four husky new members of faculty families, jack South, Jimmie Huckstep, Bobbie Zajic, and Dean Edward Smith. Page 20
