SENIOR SOCIETY NEWS In January two of the Senior class, anna Forsberg and Wesley Grotjan, graduated. The rest of the class sug- gested a theater-party in their honor. The seniors were all enthusiastic, so tickets were purchased for the film, North of 56 which was showing in Everett, The two hon- ored ones were notified of the proceedings, and a lunch was arranged at the horae of Alma Anderson, to he enjoy- ed after the play. Miss Helen Riley, the class advisor, and Edward Meyers, shiek of the class, took the party to Everett in their cars, and brought them back to Alma’s afterwards. The memberssof the party all enjoyed them- selves immensely. Along about the second week in March, some of the Seniors happened to think that no one had, as yet, attemp- ted to climb the white and slippery sides of our home moun- tain BAJLohuck. So the class decided it was up to them to earn’recognition as the first party to scale its sides in 1925, Therefore, the next Sunday morning , the class met in front »f the town’s one and only drug store, and depart- ed for the distant mountain in three cars. The climb was hard and the snow was deep, but the pasty persevered, and finally reached the top where they were deeply disappointed to find that they had been preseded by another party. But they were glad that they had accomplished so difficult a feat as early as the last of March. The only sad results: were the sudden dislikes several of the members of the class seemed to suddenly entertain for anything that uosembled raisins or chocolate. But you couldn’t blame them—that’s all they had to eat on their trip. After their trip the class decided it was time to start work on a play, After looking around for a suitable one, they finally decided on TThe Adventures of Grandpa , Miss Riley, Miss Asp, and Miss Krogstad then set to the task of choosing the cast. The following ones were fin- ally decided upon: Otis Hammerhead from Ohio, (Grandpa)—Edward Meyers. Monte Ray, ‘ Grandpa’s grandson--------Eugene Ruthford.

The play dealt with the complications aris ing when Monte Hay borrows od Hunter's wife and passes her off to Grandpa as Mrs. Ray, in order to save his allowance of five thousand dollars annually. The cook is sent to the hospital, and Tod Hunter is pressed into service as a cook. A policeman enters and announces that the cook has the smallpox, and the house is quarantined Mrs. Hop- scothch adds some very funny notes to the acting, and Marie tries to teach the bashful cop to dance. KLoompy almost spills the beans, but is restrained by Five Dollarses which Monte Ray gives her to keep everything from Grandpa. Monte has an idea which wi 11 keep Grandpa in his room un- til the quarantine is lifted. This is to put smallpox spots on Grandpa's face, so that he will bn frightened into keeping in his room. But at the crucial moment the cop onters, sees the spots, and, instead of lifting tho quarantine, has the house surrounded by the policemen. Mrs. Hopscotch tries to escape, but is prevented by the small size of the window which she tries to get through. Kloompy finally spills the beans. Grandpa finds out the truth, and Monte mokes everything right with his sweetheart, Dorothy May, who had come along as Mrs. Hopscbch's compan- ion in ordor to forget Monte, with whom sho had quarreled. Grandpa raises Monte’s allowance to seven thousand dollars, and ogorything ends happily. Tho play was given April 17, in the afternoon and even- ing, and was well attended. On the next Sunday, the play cast went on a piciic trip to Snoqualmie Falls. Early in the Morning, they gath- ered in front of their old rendezvous, the drug store, and departed in the two class cars, MiS3 Riley's and Ed's. Tho group stopped at the Fish Hatchery to view the fish they planned on catching later on, took some pictures, and wont on to the Falls, where they spent the main part of the day. After eating lunch, they explored a bit, then started back, reaching home about 6:30.
