swim efau rqoliaifiei On the third of September 36 bright, intelligent boys and girls assembled at dear old GHS for their final year. Duly enrolled in prescribed courses, the Seniors assembled the ninth of September in their honorary seats near the front of the assembly hall in the first chapel program of the year. Class sponsors were appointed and class elections were held. Mrs. R. J. Herbel was appointed class sponsor, Bobby Joe Hayes, president, Anne Booker, vice presidentg Kay Evans, secretary, Dwight Davis, Neeta Dale, Eloise Timmons, and Helen Jo Glatthaar as re- porters. During the first of October a lull descended upon the Senior Class, so the Annual Senior picnic was planned. The bus, driven by R. J. Herbel, picked the Seniors up at GHS and drove to Shady Beach. Highlights of the outing included Henry Reust falling in the coffee and Belva Jean Lightner fighting Kenneth Wilson-who obligingly put ice down her back and sound- ly spanked her! After everyone had eaten to capacity and drank their fill of slightly warm strawberry pop, we returned to Teen Town at Guymon where the rest of the evening was spent dancing and playing games. The P. E. O. organization was hostess at a lovely afternoon tea given November 2 for the Senior girls. The program consisted of a letter from a girl from Cotty College being read to the group and two lovely selections sung by LaMoyne Rizley. Cottey College was discussed while tea, dainty sandwiches, and crackers were enjoyed. Mr. Perry from Perryton, Texas, made the Senior pictures in early November. They were supposed to arrive by Christmas but unavoidable delays at Perryton made them late. In fact, quite late, they didn't arrive till February 14. Several of the Senior boys have gone to the various branches of the armed forces this year. Included are: Kenneth Wilson, ground crew of Army Air Corpsg Marion Woods, Infantry, Bud Faris, Coast Guard, Blend Whittet, Navy. P..A. M. C. cordially invited us to attend a Senior Day Friday, April 6, at Goodwell, Oklahoma. Special events were planned for the guests. They included: a barbecue, tour of the college farm and museum, a program by the college choir, and a dance With music by the Liberal Air Base Liberators. It was a very enjoyable day. The next Friday, April 13, was Spring Festival.. Several Seniors par- ticipated in the various departments-piano, voice, and the speech contest the week before. The annual Senior play, Three Days of Gracie, was presented April 27 to a large and well pleased audience. Many compliments were heard on the play. -Page Twenty-four-
