1936 1 'JUNCO,ED ACTIVITNES DRESS-UP-DAY Immigration must be stopped. I demand that you bear witness. Scene: Junction City High School Assembly. Three cowboys from Argentina sit solemnly studying American History. Walk- ing down the aisle is a Chineman-gruesome fellow. Two of his countrymen sit in a far corner and glance about with sly and evil expression. Scene: The school grounds. The bright dress of Belgians, Germans and Scandinavians flash in and out of the group assembled. Is there a nation that isn't represented? Look! Two negroes and Alice the Goon are walking hand in hand. This looks like a peace conference. Now will you aid me in stopping immigration '? What's that the Scotsman is saying? DRESS- UP DAY? Oh, well I'm still in the spirit of things-I'm the April Fool. THE ORATORICAL CONTEST The annual oratorical contest was originated by the Dramatic Club of 1922.
