SENIORS' AU REVOIR We are all puppets worked share in the huge performanc -life. Like little, puppets il stage, we go through ' l laughing, playing, w rki g combining joys and r vrows, learning to live lives of thought-W fulness for others.A 1' by invisible strings, doing our ' 0 U Foremost among those pres- ent are the seniors. They, are the time being take the center of the stage, Their play and work take on at different as- pect from the rest because they realize that their acting on the preliminary stage, is about to e completed.

X 0 These l'i e bobbling, dancing figuies, s serious in their do- ings, h e yet had many gaie- ti . ortunate were they to be led in these by a boy held in' highest esteem, Ernest Far' num. He was capably assisted by Phil Carpenter, Vice Presi- derrtg Acting Presi-dent, quarter fourg Eva Warner, Secretaryg Maude Louise Brown, Sergeant- at-Armsg Phyllis Cole, Song Leader and Rayrnon De Remer, Yell Leader. This fine group of officers has been a beacon to the rest of the seniors. No puppet show can be coin- plete Without experienced pup- peteers to put out helping hands to guide the little figures. Throughout their entire pro- gram the senior puppets ha.ve followed Miss Baker's and Mrs. Kostlan's guidance. Then dur- ing the last act, in the ab- sence of Miss Baker the first semester and Mrs. Kostlan, the second, Miss Brown came to lend her skill .as a producer. And as the curtains open' for the last time, these little pup- pets come out upon the stage to bid their audience au revoir. Page Twenty-seven

EW Block Cut by Viola Holloway-Designed by Jeanne Foote The greate-st honor which can come to any student is that of hol-ding the coveted position of either valedictoritan or salutatorian of his class. These places are so very desirable because they represent to the conununity all that is finest and idealistic in the class. Scholarship is the highest aim in school. Those seniors making fifteen recom- mended grades during their school years are given the worthy name of Honor Students. From these .are chosen the valedictorian and salutatorian. But scholarship is not the only factor in these selections. The Service of the stude.n'ts to the .school is also of great importance. Then. too, ranking equally with the rest, are the characters of the students themselves-their loyalty, good sportsmanship, high ideals, and the examples that they leave set for others to follow throughout their high school career. Frances Windes, as valedictorian, and Katherine O'dell, as salutatorian, excell in all of these requirements. They represent the best in scholastic Work, talent in activities, ability of self-expression, and individuality in ideas, They are well liked and admired by the rest of the school, and are exceptionally capable of represent- ing to the interested public, the Class of '31, .
