Seniafz lay The Panhandle A. and M. College, at Goodwell, Oklahoma, was host April 6 to 243 Highschool seniors from eighteen nearby Highschools at a Senior Day program which placed the college open to inspection by its visitors. The day's events were planned and supervised by the Student council and sponsor, Miss Helen Muller. The days program began at 10 a. m. when guests registered at Hughes Strong Auditorium. Plans were, to give each guest a booklet having items of interest in it, and also to have pictures of each senior group present, but the book was not off the press by the Senior Day. After registering, guests were taken on a campus tour. The Places visited at this time were the Library, Home economics department, History department, Book store, and the Panhandle Historical Society museum. While the guests were in the library, they were shown motion pictures taken on the campus and at the College Farm. Seniors and their sponsors were guests at the College Cafeteria, for the noon meal. After eating, everyone was taken on a tour of the College Farm. At 2:30 guests went to the auditorium for a program which included a talk by President Marvin McKee, numbers by the girl's Choir, which is directed by Chauncey B. King, and two piano solos by Blaise Montandon, of the Music Department. The Zeta Gamma Home Economics club held open house and all visitors signed the guest book, and were served punch, sandwiches, cookies and mints.. In all departments student guides explained courses and answered questions. After the evening meal, E. E. Bradley talked to the boys about the value of a college education. The climax of the day was a dance in the college Library, with the Liberal Liberators of the Liberal Army Air Base playing the dance tunes. Specialties of the evening were songs by the Girls trio of Guymon, and Ted Coons gave two specialty dances, accompanied by his mother, Mrs. E. E. Coons. Jennie Rose Brookhart gave a whistling number. Throughout the evening, delicacies were served in che Home Eco- nomics room.

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 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-

Qlau fbaff The senior class of '45 and their sponsor, Mrs. R. J. Herbel, presented their class day program during the chapel hour, Friday morning, May llth at the Guymon High School Auditorium. Bobby Joe Hays, master off ceremonies, led the flag salute. The class history, will and prophecy were delivered in the form of clever playlets, combined with pantomine, which was a pleasant departure from the usual method of presentation. It was noticed especially, that this class succeeded in including plenty of wit in their program, without the barbs which some- times mar an otherwise pleasant occasion. The class history was presented by Neeta Dale, assisted by Bob Reeder, Betty Jeanne Pauley, Mildred Johnson, Sam Craig, R. M. Moore, Eloise Timmons, Merril Dryden, Pete Bateman, Dwain Thrall and Joanna Durst. The class will was given by Louise Imler assisted by Lyla Delano, Lura Jean Calhoon and Dwight Davis. Miss Belva Jean Lightner disclosed the class prophecy to the anxiously waiting group. The class poem by Dwight Davis displayed originality and was well delivered. A vocal solo by Miss Joanna Durst and a piano solo by Belva Jean Lightner were pleasant interludes. - Miss Helen Jo Glatthaar and Miss Anne Booker had the honor of de- livering the valedictory and salutatory addresses, respectively, which were charmingly given. In both, a note of apppreciation to teachers, parents, school board and friends was expressed. The high school honor society awards, junior high and high school attendance awards and the junior high scholarship awards were presented by Supt. George W. Spenner. In recognition of an organization which is providing the right sort of entertainment for the youth of Guymon and the surrounding community, in behalf of the WCTU of Hitchland, Mrs..

This presentation was made to the president, Dwight Davis, who ex- pressed the appreciation of the young people of this group to the Hitchland WCTU. He tihen presented the incoming president, Paul Stanfield, who assured the ladies that their gift would be appreciated and put to good use in their hall.
