For several years it has been the custom for the Senior Class to write original essays in connec- tion with their course in English. About twenty boys and girls volunteer to mem- orize their essays and deliver them in assembly before the students. The members of the Senior High School fac- ulty, acting as judges, select five boys and five girls to compete in the Senior Essay Contest. The winners of this contest then rewrite their essays to fit into a theme suggested by the Senior Class Advisers. This preparation forms the basis for the devel- opment of the program for graduation. “The Am- erican Way” is the theme for this year's gradu- ating class. Page Eighteen
