The Capitolian F. H. S. Wins Music Trophy On April 25, after all the musical contests were over, the Vniversity of Kentucky announced that Frankfort High School would be awarded a trophy t'or making the best record in Class B at the State Music Festival. This trophy is not given to any specific musical organization but to the school which has the highest rating, the highest number of points. The band, orchestra, instrumental solos, both glee clubs, vocal solos, and quartet-all were counted. So we are proud of our musical talent as units and as a whole. F Club The F Club is a new organization in the school, but we believe it is a very credible addition to its extra-curricular activities. It is composed of all the lettermen of the school, and its purpose is to promote a spirit of sportsmanship and good will among the players, and to increase the interest in athletics. The Club is new and as yet has done nothing outstanding, but will in the future we hope prove its desirability. Senior Carnival Get your fortunes told for only a nickle, folks! Only a nickel to learn your past, present and-Z Come in and see the Main Show! Two nickels, one dime. O'nly one dime to see-! Madame Floposky, great crystal gazer! Come in and-V' Come on in, ladies, and get the thrill of your life. 'For Men Only' only one nickel, one-half of a dime-! Buy a balloon, folks, buy a-! Confetti! Confetti! O'nly one nickel! Everybody go through the Hall of Horrors! See Bluebeard's wife and-Z Dancing in the gym, folks! A nickel a dance. Only one nickel-! Airplane rides! Five cents! Who does not remember the din and clatter all over the building on the night of the Senior Carnival? Everything in a hubbub. Everyone having a good time, confetti all over the floor, everyone with soot smeared on his face. The fortune-teller's booth was one of the most popular at the Carnival. Even S. NV. S. went in to have lter fortune told. Even in the face of much persuading and conjoling, Miss Smith stubbornly refused to tell what the great reader of the future revealed to her. However, it was noticed that her cheeks were very rosy when she emerged from the booth. The dance hall was very popular from about nine o'clock till twelve. Even the Duke and Duchess condescended to mingle with the high school students on the dance floor-not to speak of the other teachers who followed their principals example. Will you ever forget it? Bible Study Course 19590 boys and girls from 275 Kentucky High Schools were enrolled in the State- wide Bible Study Course which is sponsored by the State Y. XV. and Y. M. C. Afs. The course which was absolutely voluntary lasted eight weeks, studying the subject of Neighborhood Problems. Frankfort High School had an enrollment of 89 girls and 82 boys divided into four classes. The Freshman and Sophomore girls were taught by Mrs. I. C. XVise-the Junior and Senior girls by Mrs. VViley Marshall, the Freshman and Sophomore boys by Mr. Roy Stephens and the Junior a.nd Senior boys by Reverend Olof Anderson. At the close of the course an exam was given. Practically all the Frankfort students passed and were awarded certificates stating such. Page sixtysnine

llxc Calpllcllan Hi-Y Conference l+'rankfort undertook a tremendous task this year by sponsoring the annual Boys' Hi-Y Conference and entertaining the boys for three days. However, the people in Frank- fort cooperated wonderfully by offering their homes, and the undertaking came through with flying colors. The Conference la.sted from Friday, December 4, to Sunday, December 6, and during that time the town was full of boys from all over the state. They were royally entertained, the Girl Reserve Club doing its share by giving them a party Saturday night. Donald Riester was given the honor of being elected secretary of the Hi-Y Confer- ence for next year. Halloween Dance The Student Senate started off its first year with a bang by giving a Hallowe'en Dance in the gym of the high school, only those gracing these halls during the day being allowed to attend. Cowboys, shieks, clowns, gypsies, witches-all assembled for the com- mon cause of having a good time. The Capitolians furnished the music and following the grand march the judges awarded the prizes for the best costumes to Pat O'Rear, the Spanish lady, and to Owen Moore, dressed as Uncle Sam. Band Banquet Who in the band does not remember the spooky voice of Mr. Hall as he told the ghost story at the banquet that night in November and the spooky skeleton dance which followed it? Ah-h-h-h! We prefer our ghosts in broad daylight, thank you. The Ba.nd banquet was really one of the most interesting and entertaining features of the school year. All three of Mr. Hal1's bands-Frankfort, Georgetown, and Paris- were present. Talks were made by John A. Royce of Paris, Charles Penn of Georgetown, and Darsie Brady, F. H. S. Band Sponsor. Mr. Pruett Graham, honorary member of the Frankfort Band, expressed his appreciation for the honor given him and spoke on the beauty of music and its effect on one's life. The banquet was a big success. Football Banquet The annual Football Banquet was held at the Southern Hotel this year under thc auspices of the Senior Class. Little Doc Reomele was toastmaster, and a fine toastmaster he was, too. Mr. Ireland gave the invocation, R. T. Johnson, president, welcomed the Panthers on behalf of the Senior Class, and Dowling Nicol, captain of the team, responded. Toasts were given by Inez Lyon and Bill Yount, and Darsie Brady sang a group of songs. Coach Rupp, from the University of Kentucky, gave a splendid talk on Training the Athletef, Then Coach Rice took the floor. He introduced the sponsor of the team, Gladys Campbell, awarded the letters, and then closed by announcing the captain of the 1932-33 football team, Mike Montgomery. Basket Ball Banquet At the close of the Basketball season the Girl Reserve Club gave the squad a ban- quet in appreciation of the splendid showing made by the boys this year. Howard Kernen was elected captain of the 1932-33 team and six boys, Taylor, Jackson, Duvall, Kelly, Port- wood and Carl Moore, manager, received sweaters. Dorothy McDonald acted as toast- mistress, Nancy Gillham gave the welcome to the boys, to which John Duvall responded. A reading was given by Carolyn Rogers, a song by Darsie Brady and toasts were given by Mr. H. G. Jackson, Clara Louise Heenan, Inez Lyon, and George Taylor. The banquet ended as all good school banquets should with the Loyalty Song. Page scvcnty
