Gllazs Night Early in year the President of the United States issued a proclamation setting aside the year 1935 as the three-hundredth anniversary of the be- ginning of secondary education in our country. He requested that second- ary schools and others make suitable observation throughout the year. As part of the Tercentenary observation in Houghton High School this year, the Senior Class voted to forego the conventional type of class night exercises and present a play suggested by the National Education Associa- tlon. The title of the play was Modern Education on Trial. Under the cap- able direction of Miss Lees, the play proved to be very successful. The scene of the play was ln a court room. The so called fads and frills of education, impersonated by members of the class, were put on trial to de- termine their justifiability. Several of the witnesses presented exhibits of various phases of school work as evidence. The class night program was as follows: PROGRAM Processlonal-Tannhauser March ......... ...,,....

...igunur Amarh... ., ,v Tamrs Unhin - ii Qi -' G 2 ofa .YY The committee appointed to name the 1035 candidate for the honor award has chosen .lanies 'l'obin as the most outstanding senior, one who has by his conduct and activities best exemplified the ideals of Houghton High School, ' Scholarship James is an earnest student and an honest one. He Works up to the level of his abilities. Extra-Curricular Activities James has been a tireless worker in extra-curricular activities. He has held responsible class offices: he has been chairman for innumerable com- mittees: he has been prominent in Hi-Y and Home Room activities: he has served on the Amygdaloid stalf as business manager: he has taken part in school plays: he has been a. loyal teammate in football, basketball, and track. Leadership llis qualities for leadership are outstanding. He is an excellent busi- ness nianager: he is skilled in the art of persuasive speaking: he knows how to take jokes as well as give th,en1: he formulates original plans for social functions: he uses tact and zest in bringing those plans to fruition: and he has a smile that invites conlidence. Dependability He is dependable. Teachers and students have grown accustomed to saying, l.et's get 'Jinnny' 'l'obin to do this. W'e know it'11 be done then. And whether the responsibility is at t1'iva1 or a major one, Jir1nny Tobin is there to see that it's done. Modesty Jimmy is unusually modest. As his smile speaks for qualities of lcadership, his blushes speak for l1is undeniable modesty. Altruism .liminy gives his time and service generously without thought of re- ward. Ile seems to have made it a rule that his personal plans must take second place, that school, club, team and community come first. Loyalty His loyalty to lloughton High School is as unchallenged as his loyalty to his closest friends. Worthiness Because h,e is outstandinpfly honest, energetic, dependable, modest, al- truistic, and loyal, James Tobin has been chosen for the 1935 honor award.
