The ROCKET 1925 CTWWID Declamatory Contest On February l2, 1925, Green Mountain High School gave their annual Declamatory Contest. There were ten contestants and the contest showed much improvement over the previous ones. Perhaps this was due in some respects to the aid given by the High School Orchestra which gave several selections between the different classes of readings. The scores ran close but the Final results were: Alice Keedy first over all and Lucile john Graves first in the humorous class. The Juniors are especially glad to note that one of their number gained first place. In fact all did very well and we must not slight the two Freshmen in that their first attempts showed qualities that may lead them to the top. There were no oratorical readings given.

Senior Picnic ' Wednesday April 1, 1925, the Seniors of Green Mountain High School April fooled the faculty and under-classmen by taking a holiday. They reported for school but ten minutes before school called they as- sembled in the North recitation room and when the bell rang they had all disappeared. Transportation, eats, hot dogs n'everything were secured down town and they started for Riverview Park, Marshalltown. 2 They ate their lunch at noon along the river and sure devoured those hot dogs. The afternoon was spent pleasantly and they returned in time to take the usual bus ride home. Ah, those good old Senior Days! ' GWMVD Page 38

The ROCKET 1925 GWWKD Junior Class Play March 25 S The juniors and underclassmen of the Green Mountain High School pre- sented their play Backbone , before a large audience in the school gym- nasium. It was an unusually clever review of a boy who was head over heels in love, but failed to make anything of himself in business because he lacked the backbone. Charles Shelton, as the lover, proved to the young social group and also to his father and mother-in-law to be that he really did have a backbone. The parts of Mr. and Mrs. Easton, who furnished most of the comedy were successfully played by VVendell Estal and Florence Clar. Alice Keedy the sweetheart of XVillie, proved her ability for portraying a character of various moods. Cast of Characters Mr. Henry Easton, wealthy merchant . . . Mrs. Lucile Easton, his wife . . .
