FRESHMEN INITIATION l During the second week of school, in the fall of 1941, the newly inducted fresh-l man initiates met their Waterloo. Of course, the Seniors, having lived for this moment, were in Utopia. From Monday throughout Friday the unfortunates were subjected to Senior juris- p diction. The culminating day of the week's festivities was Friday, and the initiates, in gayly decorated costumes, came suitably dressed for the occasion. The boys wriggled I through the doors in sarongs copied from the styles of Dorothy Lamour, with wreathes of garlic encircling their throats. Accompanying our sarongclad boys was a bit of escence from Hawaii. These native girls hula-hulaed from one class to another all day. At noon the entire student body joined them in a parade along the streets of Cave Function and Kerby. But the worst was yet to come. That evening they met in the gymnasium to receive their reward . Each initiate was given the hot-foot treatment, fed slime from the pools of destiny, rolled burnt corks across the floor with its nose, and took part in a mad shoe scramble. Finally, rugs were rolled back and all enjoyed dancing for the remainder of the evening. PAN-AMERICAN ESSAY The Inter-American Forum this year sponsored a Pan-American relations essay contest. It was of medium length and the title was What Inter-American Cooperation Means to My Country. This was a nation-wide contest and open to all high school students. Several students from our high school entered the contest, using materials for reference which had been obtained from the state library or from the National Contest committee. The essays were to be in by April 14. They were then judged in the schools and two best were sent on to compete in the state and national contest. Several valuable state prizes were offered and the national grand prize was a four year college scholarship. Two of these years must be taken in some South American college. The purpose of the contest was to help bring about better relations with our Close neighbors to the south, that we may cooperate with them in ever increasing ways. Barbara Byrne and jim Baldwin were the winners of the local contest. THE BUGLE The Bugle, the high school newspaper, was first started in 1959. Since then it has occupied a prominent place in the field of high school activities.
