Response was made by Frank Ingram, Freshman President. The program continued with orchestra numbers, a group song, violin trio, and a solo. Senior Dress-up Day March 14 was Senior Dress-up Day. Nearly everyone appeared all dressed up in some amusing manner—from negroes to tramps, from sailors to Spanish senoritas, and from nursery-rhyme characters to a red devil. A luncheon was enjoyed at noon, consisting of sandwiches, salad, and cake. The remainder of the noon hour and activity period were spent in taking snap shots. After the regular assembly program, the group gathered back-stage and then each one was introduced to the student body by John Shaw. Senior Table Rock Hike The 21st annual Table Rock Hike was greatly enjoyed by the Senior class on May 17. They went in cars to the foot of the rock, climbed to the top for lunch, and many went on to Medford in the afternoon. Baccalaureate Reverend E. J. Dodson delivered the address at the Baccalaureate service, which was held at the Christian Church on May 21. The Seniors and members of the faculty marched in the processional as usual. Class Night Stunts representing the four years of the Senior activities were given very entertainingly on Class Night, May 23. The Class Will and Prophecy were read. Following the Seniors' program, letters and awards were presented to many members of the student body. P.-T. A. Banquet The P.-T. A. entertained the Seniors and Faculty at a banquet given at the Del Rogue Hotel May 24, with a program of toasts and musical numbers. The decorations were in blue and gold, the class colors. Commencement Although Commencement marks the end of the Seniors' High School careers, it does not mean the end. It is rather the beginning. It is a New Year's Day that ushers them from the old months of school activities into the new life of broader endeavor. The Commencement exercises were held in the High School Auditorium on May 25. As is the custom, the Senior procession marched through the flowered arches held by the Junior girls. The program presented by the graduates consisted of four musical numbers and the addresses given by the Valedictorian and Salutatorian. Mr. Irving Vining of Ashland delivered the main address of the evening. The usual medals and awards were presented to the outstanding class members, and the Class of “33” was formally dissolved.
