The Seniors went together and purchased a banner to be left in the School, and now as you enter Room One you can see their colors - Black, and White on the wall. 1 A H. H. S. A Short Story contest was conducted during the month of January in the interest of the iLterary Department of the Jack Of Lantern. The judges, Miss Weber, Mr. Howe and Rev. Hinkelman had a hard time deciding upon the best story, but finally their decision rested upon Helen Dickey's'story, A Triple Tragedy. Marcella Chap1in's story My Pretty Flapper Wife took second prize. A Literary Joust by Dorothy Pidgeon, was considered too fine to be overlooked, and al- though it did not contain all the rudiments of a short story, the Judges decided that it was to be published in the J ack O' Lantern Literary Department, with the short stories. . W H. H. s. . Many times during the term, pupils of the class of '25 visited us showing' that they have not forgotten the old school and still think of it.
