HALLOWE’EN PARTY Two gLiastly-looking ghosts met the Seniors and th- Knutzens at the dJoor of wha,t we had formerly believed wis Virginia Broman’s home. We shook hands with these ghosts and were taken in'to the front room wher. we met our fellow class member. All of them were alive so w.. saw no reason for us to die of fright. Knu e was happy to see the candy dish just as full as it was last year. Playing nmes came next on the list and w.. started with “Truth and Consequences,” Bonnie and Donna being smart enough to answer their questions nad an enjoy- a,bl time watching us do our consequences. We then had a peanut race and several relay races. We girls were “IJhrilled” when we got the chance to play Winkum-Blinkitm.” A lovely lunch was served by Mrs. Broman and we started ior hem' . Thank you, Virginia, for a swell'time. VALENTINE DANCE Valentir.es was the theme for the Senior’s All-School Dance, February 14, 1949. These valentines hung from all possible places in the gymnasium and on them weTe wriJUten all the verses 'that are usually found on valentines. The high-point of th evening was the crowning of the King and Queen of Hearts—Keith Moul and Donna Avers. Two drummers—-Carol Moul and Billy Frazier—and two trumpeters—Kenny McClellan and Duane Lovegrove—heralded the approach of the King and queen and their attendants. The king and queen wer crowned by the junior attendants—Lois Lott and Duaine Roper. Other at- tendans were Donna Galusha, Darrell Avers, Billy Jacobsen and Corrine Demaree. After the crowning, the remainder of the evening was passed in dancing. Many dedications gave interest to the program. A valentine lunch was then served, aft r which we departed from the school house. SNEAK DAY 4:30—chilly (?) Yes, but who cares. We were Omaha- bound for -that day we had been looking for, ever since we can remember. Everyone was present, even Carolyn who almost forgot to get up. What a contrast to V rn who didn’t even go to bed. • ’r We stopped first at Boys Town, where we visited the ‘trade school, chapel and Father Flanagan’s tomb. The new field house proved1 interesting! In search for th indoor swimming pool, we ran up and down many flighits of Stairs, opened every possible door and turned on all workable light switches. After several false alarms, the swimming pool was found iby Deris, who almost fell in, in an air of excitement. Our bus swiftly carried us ‘to Joslyn Memorial. We enjoyed our tour fo.re very much. An empty billfold was found by Jerry and used to trick the class, when it was intentionally dropped.

SENIOR PICTURE DAY The Senicrs left at 12 o’clock, October 12. taking off for Crete. The occasion was to g t “shot” by Mac McGraw. Arriving there we signed in and were then allowed to do what we wished un- til tim for our pictures. Most of the girls spent their time in shopping, but the ..tys leit for destinations unltrxwn ?). Knute bought some new' shoes unu yrlene and Esta had an enlightening (?) conv rsaticn with old Bille Dind. Mac continued taking pictures until six o’clock, during which time Keith changed his order twic . Could that be because of Dixie. Mac took vs to h s apartment for a delicious buffet supper and gave us tickets lor “Gene With the Wind,” so eff we trek d to see the movie. After four hours of movie, we went back to the studio and received cur proofs. W then started for home, stopping at Friend where Knute thought twice be- fore trying Jerry’s specialty—ashes and drinking water. Finally, we reached Fairmont, tired but happy seniors.

After lunch at the union Elation, Bonnie and Arlene went through the process of taking and developing th ir own pictures. Jerry’s 'billfold fun was ended by a railroad official. WCW was next cn our schedule. Keith was disappointed when, upon inquiry, hie found that ihis favorite—Jessie Young—was not at the Studio. The television machines—which rec.ntly arrived—were on display. At the airpcrt, we loured a DC3, DC4 and the ccntrol tower. K ith, Bcb and Charlie wenit for an airplane ride. Bob did not like it for he returned air-sick. Back to Omaha for a period of free-time, 'then to the Hotel Hill for six o’clock dinner. Rodney was interested in visiting “The Cave” under (the Hill (and it wasn’t a cellar.) Everyone enjoyed Gene Krupa and Penny Edward’s stage performance and 'the movie which followed. We finally came to the conclusion that Esta and Charlie overly enjoyed the 3how, asitihey were not preseift when the bus was ready to leave We hadn't traveled far until—'With no help from Dale—his flash camera went off. Stopping at Lincoln for lunch, Floyd had some 'trouble in his approach to the cafe, as he tried to enter through 'the window instead of 'the door. About sev.n miles ea3t of Milford the bus suddenly stopped'—what happened? Virg.nia s.tpp d eff the bus and joined her sister, so we con.inued our journey with no fear of an accident. It was two o’clock and '[he wide-awake Seniors arrived home. Muriel and Donna were very pi ased that they had stayed aw’ake all day, never ending their conversation for a little sleep. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Knuhzen, for beir.-g such fine sponsors and for mak- ing our day complete.

An address of welcome was given by the president of Doane College. Dr. D. Crawford. Dr. Walter Beggs of the University of Nebraska gave the most outstanding sp ech of the day. A short 'tour of the campus was taken before we went .to our Occupational Interest Conferences. At th se conferences, we discussed our Kuder Tests. At lunch time, a group cf our Seniors were attracted by a new car sitting cut- side of the dining room window. Was it a Nash, a Ford, or two? W. H. Hauser, Superitencent of Scho;ls of Douglas Ccuni.y, gave an inspiring speech during ;he
