This year proved to be no exception to the rule, for they have shown the same class spirit in all events. Early last fall there was to have been a picnic, a record-breaking pic- nic, but oh! what luck! It rained on the very day the picnic was to be held. Phis did not dampen the spirits of the Senior class, however, for they knew that it did not rain every day in the year, so there were more picnics to ccme. The class gained much distinction through the untiring efforts of the girls. A winning basketball team was developed and after the tournament :;hey were presented with a beautiful engraved cup, the award of the champions. There was also another branch in which the girls excelled, and that was that for every game played there was always a candy sale. Two of these, conducted solely by Seniors, netted considerable profits to the class treasury. The Senior play, due to the untiring efforts of the coach and clever work of the students, was a decided success. The best play so far produced in La Grande High School, as it was termed by some prominent critics. The Seniors were also prominent in making the operetta the success that it was. The leading roles were filled by membrs of the Senior class:. It is worthy of note that all the members of the debating team werr Seniors, and it was through their energy and perseverance that the school entered the debating league. The Seniors planned another picnic for April 1, and this time it did not rain. At 6 o’clock there was a very enthusiastic and happy bunch of ftudents gathered at the high school, all were talking of the enjoyable evening they could spend at the park. The entire class sremed in a perfect rhapsody of contentment and good humor. Some were destined to be luckier than others, for those thaJ guarded the eats got to ride in a car to (he park, but the rest had to walk. The students quite forgot their dignity as Seniors that night and partook of all the novelties of amusement, as teeter-totters, swings, merry-go-rounds, chutes and so on, and found that these amusements could still bring forth that magic spell, that is the stimulator to every childish heart. When darkness grew more pronounced a fire was built in the fireplace and an attentive audience listened to the many jok s and interesting ghost stories that were circulated around in that happy gathering. This was by far the most enjoyable part of the evening, and one would never have thought that so much wit and humor could be gathered together on such short notice from the members of our class. When the fire had burned low, the supply of stories had been ex- hausted. the laughs became fewer, it wras decided to retrace our steps home- ward. It was a happy bunch that made its way through the park gate with their high school songs, their merry laughter and their loud che?rs fo the Senior class. Mabel Langley, ’21.
