DEBATE This yearls debate question was: Resolved that the Federal Gov- ernment should own and operate the railroads.H There was a wealth of material available and team-members gained valuable experience in the speech-construction. The teams made trips to Cheney and Rockford. The other two con- ference debates were at home. Those on the teams were: affirmative: Gordon Wegner Connie Brown and Harry Woodg negative: Jack Lange, Marjorie Mundt, Wayne'Stenson. Coach, Mr. Meyer. The most exciting event was with John Rogers High. The vote of the judges was a tie and the chairman had to ask for a second ballot to decide. We lost by one point.

MUSlC BAND AND MAJORETTES - Student Officers: 'Student Director.... ....Joseph Jaeger Librarian......... .....Jack Lange Uniform Manager..,... .....Eva Harris Head Drum Majorette...................Bonnie Yuili The High School Band, consisting of Bl members, and the newly or- ganized Majorette Corps of eleven, made their first trip to Pullman, October I4, to see the W:S.C.-U.W. football game and the bands. One of the high lights of this year's activities was marching in the parade at 'Spokane, November l8, preceeding the football game at Gonzaga stadium where the Band and Majorettes again performed. 4They UStoleH the shown with their colorful red and white uniformsandtheir snappy marching. Many movies were taken of the group, and their pic- tures appeared in the Spokane papers. The first home appearance of the Majorette Corps was between halves of the Merry-Go-Round Basketball game. Their white satin uni- forms, twirling batons, and fancy drills were greatly applauded by a capacity crowd. They later appeared with the Band at iseveral other games, and for the Grange and Eastern Star. Many music students attended the Lewis and Clark Band Concert, February l6. The next appearance of the Band and Majorettes was at the annual Spring Music Festival, which was given March 29. On April 20, they entertained at the Moran Grange. The Band was invited to perform at the music clinic held in Spo- kane during l,E.E.A. They were directed by Mr. Wheeler of the'State College. Everyone was very happy after the Band received a superior rating at the Eastern Washington Music Meet at Cheney. This entitles them to compete in the National Contest to be held in Spokane, May ll. JUNl0R BAND 'Student Officers: 'Student Director... .......Frank Keno Librarian..........................Betty'Stevenson A new Band was formed this year consisting of 26 members, mostly from the grade school. They gave two selections at the Music Festival which would be a credit to a much more experienced Band. One purpose of the organization is to give students an opportunity for preliminary training for the Senior Band. ANNUAL SPRlNG MUSIC FESTIVAL This year the Music Department, directed by Mr. Horsey, presented the most outstanding Music Festival Fairfield has ever had. The audi- torium was filled to capacity with an exceptionally enthusiastic audi- ence. The program consisted of numbers by the orchestra, which featured the NMarch from Tannhauserup a saxaphone solo, by Joseph Jaeger, the Junior Band, a trumpet solo, by Gordon Wegnerg the Girls Glee Club and Mixed Chorus, and a xylophone and accordion duet by Jane Schaar. Special mention should be given Walter, Walter and Mary who Tis a third student. He gave a performance more than worthy of his years. The Festival would not have been complete without the Band and Majorettes. The Band gave a concert of varied selections. As they broke into a lively march and the school song, the eleven Majorettes strutted down the aisle to spin their batons in front of the band platform. The climax of the entire evening came when the lights were dashed and Bonnie Yuill, twirllng, the illuminated baton, stepped onto the plat form with the band. The lighted baton formed beautiful arcs and cir- cles, while the audience watched in admiration. After marching out the Majorettes were encored, and again twirled and strutted while the crowd clapped approvingly in time with the music. MlXED CHORUS AND GIRLS GLEE CLUB Officers of Mixed Chorus: Officers of Girls Glee Club: 'Student Directcr...Gordon Wegner Student Director. .... Eva Harris Librarian .0qlnQ.u Lois Cunningham Librarian.......Lois Cunningham This year we are exceptionally proud of our fine Mixed Chorus and Girls Glee Club. At every appearance the audience responded with much applause. December 5, the two groups attended the concert given by the State College at Pullman, ln competition with other groups, our Mixed Chorus was the only one to win a superior rating at the Eastern Washington Music Meet in Cheney. They will have the honor of representing all Eastern Washing- ton at the National Contest to be held in Spokane. The Girls Glee Club rated excellent, which is the second highest rating given. When Open House was held April l6, both the Girls Glee Club and Mixed Chorus gave several selections. GRCHESTRA 'Student Officersr lStudent Director.,. ....Jack Lange Librarian,.,.... ,.Joscph Jaeger Although they took no part in the Cheney Music Meet, one of the outstanding organizations is the High'Schooi Orchestra, which is com- posed of sixteen students. Their first performance was at the All High Play, November 9. They performed at several other plays and were highly complimented. December l3, the group attended the Kryl Symphony Orchestra in Spokane. After their appearance in the Music Festival they began working on the dance music for the Vodvil, which was presented April 26. The Orchestra furnished the music for the different acts of the vodvil which was sponsored by the Girls Federation, the Camp Fire Girls, and the Music Department. As this was entirely different from any previ- ous entertainment, it was enjoyed very much. 'SAX TRIO and SOLOYSTS One of the enjoyable numbers of the Spring Music Festival was the Sax Trio, composed of Joseph Jaeger, Elsie Ostheller, and Leonard Zehm, accompanied by Lois Cunningham. The two soloists, Gordon wegner, trumpet, and Joseph Jaeger, saxaphone, who competed in the Music Meet at Cheney, March l6, per- formed many times at different programs. it is with regret we lose these two soloists with seven other seniors, from our music depart- ment. BOUQUETS Mr. Horsey has worked hard to make the Music Department one of the outstanding departments of the school. That he has 'succeeded is shown by the fact that few other schools of the same size have as many music organizations with as many achievements to their credit. A word of praise is due Miss'Schaefer and the Home Economics De- partment, too, for designing and making the Majorette costumes. At least two larger schools asked permission to copy them. imitation, they say, is the sincerest flattery. But the patent is still Fair- fieid's. We 1 7f5'Z51i' H r.

After much consideration, they selected NDrums of Death,U writ- ten by Howard Reed, which they presented March I5. This hair-raising thriller concerned the ,affairs of Sheldon Harley lRaIph Reinhardtl, a secret agent for.a certain foreign govern- ment, who foiled the plot of the villainous Thompson, alias Doctor Cameron lEllsworth Roecksl, who received just retribution for his evil deeds at the hands of the negro servant Jules lFranklin Stensonl, late of Haiti. The unexpected appearance of fPaula Bailey l0arleen Hendersonl fiancee of Mr. Harley, was foretold by Celeste lvera Marie Grewel, the octoroon servant from Martinique, in one of har trances. Three other ladies, relatives of Paulals vanished grandfather, were lured to the place by false telegrams. They were Mr. Baileyls sister, Mrs. Gil- lette lBetty Stevensonl, her grandaughter, Amelia lHelene Thormahlenl, and Eugenia Bowles lEva Harrisl, a distant relative. Mrs. Oakley lKathleen McAvoyl, the house-keeper who walked in her sleep, was unconsciously instrumental in finding the missing man. However, the highlight of the play was the remarkably methodical coun- ty sheriff, Newton Cooper lCharIes Collisonl and his unseen, but not unheard of, girl friend, Myrtle. All this was punctuated by the weird beating of drums, the sounds of.a swamp at night, the 'staccato screams of women, and dim, ghostly shapes flitting through doorways and lurking in shadows. , We are happy to say the finale was a favorable one, with the vil- lains being disposed of, the prize returned, the mystery solved, and last but not least, the sheriff ascertained the location of his badge.

Upon returning from his honeymoon and discovering the multitude of unpaid bllls Bradley went into the quietude of his llbrary to fin- ish writing a play. Here, with the aid of the four characters, Marian lDarleen Hen- dersonl, Jerry lCharles Collisonl, Larkin3lGene Thomasl, and Hebers lGordon Wegnerl, Bradley tried to write. The characters came to life ln the mind of Bradley and.acted out the play as lt was being written. But all was not rosy. Helen entered and so demanded the atten- tions of Bradley that he could not write, not realizing that, unless the play was William lJack noisy efforts Roderick so cross and the light of with the play completed, Bradley would become 'financially finished. Langel, the caretaker, also interrupted matters with his to mow the lawn. lgood old Roderickll explained to Helen why Bradley was why the play had to be written. Helen, at last seeing the 'sltuatlon, begged Bradley's forgiveness. And so, finished and all the problems solved llncluding Helenl, all was well that ended well. MYSTAKES AT THE BLAKES Presented by the Seniors, May ll Garlf lGordon wagnerl and Tom Blake, lCllnton, Rettkowskll,young authors, are just about to be turned out into the streets because they havenot paid their rent. But when Herman Carter lWayne'Stensonl, ln- forms them that Tom has lnherlted S50,000.and Garif has inherited NCharlle,H supposedly a dog, there is cause for rejoicing and sorrow.

He later persuades Garlf to sell his guardianship of Charlie for 55,000. To aid his plans, Tom tells Roberta and Mrs. Perkins that Garlf is demented. He even goes so far as to send for an attendant and to order a dog for him. i The dog is delivered by lke lMelvin 'Stecksl and Mike lEarnest Konshukl, but by the time Mrs. Pinkle lMarjorie Mundtl and a nurse lFrances Hanshewl arrive, it ls Tom who appears demented. and Mr. Carter as hide from the pur- Luckyn arrives and denies ever seeing her before.

Mr. Carter arrives hurriedly to suing Mrs. Carter lLaurel Lundstruml. When HDucky wishes to see Tom, he pretends to be Napoleon and INITIATION Nineteen UGreenhornsH were initiated into our F.H4S.A. on'Septem- ber 29. The 'Senior Class, never before having a chance to initiate, took lt upon themselves to make full-pledged high school students of the Freshmen. - The Freshmen boys had to wear dresses and make-up while the girls wore trousers minus the cosmetics. All this was enjoyed thoroughly by the upper-classmen, as Orland Ostheller gave the impression of a per- fect lady, and Nelly Feddy a hearty lad! To prevent a rebellion of the vlctlmlzed neophytes, paddles were carried by the seniors as a warning. A party in the evening finished the exciting day. ,FROSH RETURN PARTY The Freshmen Class gave their return party for the entire hlgh school on October 29. They entertained with a short program ln which the upper-classmen were asked to take a part, Refreshments were served, and everyone danced for the remainder of the evening.' 'H.'S. DANCES ' There was a series of All Hi dances given in the cafeteria. 'The flrst one was given on December 8. As more of the students have learned to dance, the turn-outs were better this year than ln previ- ous years. Muslc was furnished by UZipU and Delbert Stuart with their records and 'electric phonographs. Darleen Henderson and Bonnie Yulll acted as a permanent dance committee throughout the year. CHRYSTMAS PROGRAM According to established custom, the 'Freshmen were required to furnish the Christmas tree. The 'Student Body specified that it must reach from the floor to the celllng. 'Specifications were met by at- tachlng a small, but well-decorated, tree-to ,a pulley, so that it could be raised and lowered at wlll. Upper-classmen dld not appreci- ate this prank, and after much discussion, a 'really blg tree ,adorned the'Study Hall. - On Friday,.December 25, just before school was dismissed for the holidays, a lshort program was glven for F.HJS.A. and members of the 'faculty.
