Hall Scene Looking Over New Books in Library In Conference with Mr. Pick ring Speech Class Making a Recording Juniors Looking Over Class Rings Ii-:formation Please ACTIVITIES HAVE PLAIIE IN SIIHIIIII. LIFE ulsearning without thought is labor lost and thought without learning is perilous, stated our new principal, E. R. Pickering on September 9, the first day of school. ':Remember, we arenit in school just to learn. Our extra curricular activities give the student an opportunity to express himself. They broaden him in social life and fit him for future living. I.et's do our best this year-start out with a new vim and vigor after our va- cation. May I have your attention, please? Where was that voice coming from? It sounds like it might be coming out of that little box up there, but it couldn't be. Oh, yes, it was coming from there- we have a new radio system in school this year through which announcements may be made to the entire student body or to the individual class rooms, gym or auditorium. This new radio system per- mitted another new feature which was the morning news presented by a Speech student every morning. 'lls that what my voice sounds likef' is a question many of the students asked as they listened to a repetition of their voice made by the recorder purchased this year. Not only has the Speech class made use of this new apparatus but recordings were also made of the high school band, organ music, and other selections. Here we have wondered to the library already and there is Miss Miller. It looks like a lot of new books have come in. Oh, there is Oliver Wiswell by Ken- neth Roberts. I,ve been wanting to read that for a long time. And now, for an explanation of the schedule set up for the half hour activi- ty period every afternoon. Each Monday the activity period has been devoted to a home room program. Every home room elected their own of- ficers and such programs were planned as: plays, contests, stories, discussions, debates, etc. Miss Mehrling's sophomore home room presented a play for the en- tire student body. During the activity period on Tuesday and Thursday, the students participated in activity clubs, such as, dancing, glee club, military, home arts, home planning, etc. The Photography Club purchased this year, with the help of the School Board, an enlarger, which enlarges snap- shots. The purpose of these club periods is to encourage the development of hob- bies. Radio programs were presented on Wednesday under the direction of Mr. Sindlinger. Students participated in giv- ing plays, stories, readings and poems. Records of both classical and popular music were presented. Several records of Cavalcade of America were purchased for this period. Say, this is Friday, isn't it? Fm sure glad, not only because it is the last day of school for this week but also because we have an assembly. Practically every Friday youill hear several students say- ing something similar to this. Everyone looks forward to the Friday assembly. Some of these programs are put on by the students, some are presented by Mr. Horn or his assistants, and at other times

outside talent is brought to our city for the students. Along the line of assemblies the school has had an extraordinary privilege this year in having access to several 'iMarch of Timel' movies. Where is that music from? Oh, yes, its the organ. I wish I could play it.', Probably Marguerite Dorian, Evelyn Adams or Jean Huy practicing. Did I hear you say, If that is practicing, lid like to hear them really playin Social Activities Reviewing some of the most important social events of the year, we find that the G. R. Wiener roast came first. This was successfully held at Heise Park on Sep- tember 23. On October first, the Hi-Y had their wiener roast, to which occasion the boys invited girls. The Girl Reserve Faculty Banquet also occurred in October. This banquet is given annually in the Senior High gym by the G. R. for the members of the faculty and their families to get students and faculty better acquainted. At the Girl Reserve-Hi-Y Joint Meet- ing on February third, Rev. David Mumford, of Bucyrus, led an interesting discussion on Boy-Girl Relationships after which a dance was held in the gym. Quill and Scroll members on February 24, presented the impressive candle-light service, which is an annual occasion. Fif- teen juniors were initiated at this time. The First Reformed Church formed the background for the G. R. Sweetheart Party on March eighth. The Church be- ing appropriately decorated, the mem- bers and their guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. An unusual Ides of March Dancew was given on March 14 by the Lantern Staff. Another novelty dance also spon- sored by the Lantern was the Sadie Hawkins Dancen which was held on April third. These were acclaimed great successes by all who attended them. For the first time in the history of our school, forty junior and senior high school students were excused from class- es for an excursion to Cleveland to at- tend the afternoon opera on April 18. For most of the students, this was a new experience in two ways because they went in a Greyhound bus. Jane Wagner, a sophomore, Misses Ricker, Mann and Slocum made arrangements for this trip. Rev. David Mumford was the speak- er at the Hi-Y Sweetheart Party at the Peace Lutheran Parish House on May third. Without this event the school year would seem incomplete to many of the students. An impressive occasion, especially to the seniors, occurred on the night of May 12, when the members of the G. R. bid farewell to the Seniors. Each Cabinet member presented a symbol of her office to the junior girl that succeeded her for next year. The highlight of the year for the sophomores was held on May 24. The event, of course, being the Sophomore Hop at which time the gym was decor- ated with flowers and crepe paper to rep- resent a spring garden. Using A South Sea Islandl' as a theme for the Reception, the Juniors en- tertained the Seniors to a banquet and dance on May 29. From this brief review of the year's activities, you can readily see that there is a lot more to school than study.
