Qgpnnsure SENIOR A CLASS HISTORY Marching slowly and with a hesitant step, the midfyear order of Sophomores of 1931 trudged into the arena of Fargo high school. They were new to the rules of the threefyear tournament which they were just entering. In the beginning, the contestants suffered much chagrin at the hands of their competitors, but by the end of the first tilt, some of their confidence had been regained. Others, lost or dropped from the first tourney, made the Order of juniors smaller but not less in distinction. At the end of the second tilt, the rapidly rising Order of Juniors were hosts at a banquet and dance to the departing Senior knights. A Their theme, Prosperity, was prophetic in a sense, as since then everyone has predicted the world is emerging from the depths into which it has been plunged. In less signiiicent tourneys the junior Squires were victorious, conquering the fields of scholarf ship, athletics, and other school activities. Eagerly they faced the tourney which would culminate their three minor engagements--Seniorhoodl By the time they had joined the highest rank in the tournament, the Grand Order of Seniors, the group which had entered two years before as humble pages, were now school' ed in the field of competition and fair play. All too swiftly this last engagement passed and they had entered the final stage of the grand tournament. The last entertainment sponsored by the C. O. S. was the presentations of The Restless Jewel, a mysteryfcomedy in three acts, and Class Day exercises, centered around A Century of Promise. January 26 marked the end of the easiest and most enjoyable tournament that the class of 1934 will perhaps ever face, when eightyfiive pages mounted the stage to receive their last reward in Fargo high school.

It was presented in the auditorium Wednesday night, january 24, as part ofthe exercises given for graduation. Miss Adela Hanson, PublicfSpeaking instructor, directed the play. All action takes place in the railroad station during the first act. It changes to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Blank, recently married, in the second and third acts. Kay Millis, a detective, is employed by M1'. Tishury, the head of a New York jewelry firm, to guard the Blackpool diamond against theft until it can be delivered to its buyer, Mr. Gardner. ,lersey Jenny, a notorious crook, hears of the diamond and decides to try to gain possession of it. She plans to force her sister, Emma, who is the maid in the Blank home, to steal it from Bob Blank to whom the jewel has been entrusted until it can be delivered to its new owner in Chicago. Humor is added to the story by the newlyweds, Nan and Bob Blank, and by Rupert Schools, a college boy who is a magazine salesman. The climax centers about the discovery of the real jewel thief who proves to be Mr. Gardner, not Emma or Rupert Schools who were the main suspects. Twenty-il-wee
