:XF 'Qs I 111' -1 N ' 'IA raw 'Elle School Activities TONAWANDA High School has not been in the least dormant during the past year. It has entered heartily into everything that has presented itself for participation, and, likewise, it has taken advantage of the many opportunities that have made their appearance for its amusement. First in the line of contests was the letter-writing contest sponsored by the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce. The subject was, The Development of the Niagara Area. A number of senior and junior students participated, and our school received the first place to schools of our rank-zoo to goo. The prize was a check for S45 and a certificate. The money will be used to purchase a picture of Old lronsides, framed in some of the wood of the original vessel. Grace Meyers represented our school very creditably in the National Oratorical Contest. Her subject was, The rights and duties of the citizen under the Constitution. The juniors entered the Flag contest sponsored by the Hearst newspapers. The winners were Dora Bylenock, Carmen Golde, Theresa Gromlovits, Charles Robinson, William Mosher, Oscar Boehnke, Harold Fitzimmons, Buford Bellinger, Carl Whit- ford, Ethel Covey, Arline Hein, and Norma Siefke. The last of the contests is the Declamation Contest to decide the best boy and girl speakers in the high school. The winners in the preliminary contests were: Senior- Lucille Schutt, Warren Gordon. Junior-Arline Hein. Sophomore-Mary Solomon, Kenneth Hein. Freshman-Violet Warner andjohn Sullivan. The finals will be held on May 16. We have had some very interesting Assemblies, among which are: the talk given by Mr. Morrison of the Buffalo Evening News, on the Byrd Expedition, the highly entertaining performance given by the Indian Princess, Nacumi, whose tales of Indian lore, and violin solos of the sweet and flowing Indian melody made the Indian seem more real to us, and Mr. Atwater of the Isaac Walton League, who gave a lecture illustrated with moving pictures of outdoor life. As we have our own Moving picture machine now, we have had our assemblies often enlivened with interesting films, and have had entertainments open to the public. For the special entertainment of the student body, several Friday afternoon dances were held in the gym, and each class has had at least one big party. Dramatics have been an important feature this year. Three highly successful performances have been given,- It Happened in June, the Senior play, Seventeen, and the operetta, Miss Cherry Blossom.
