At last the time came and We all met at the high school. When We arrived at cur destination, Buck's Timber, We found that our fire was already made, for several of the boys had gone out ahead, gathered Wood and built it. We played ball and gathered pawpaws. Finally it was time to eat, and although we had thirteen pounds of Wieners, five pounds or marshmallows and eleven dozen buns, there Wasn't a scrap left. After eating, or perhaps I should say stuffing, we played more games and sang. At about seven-thirty We climbed the hill and crossed a ditch. However, since it Was so dark, some fell in the ditch instead of crossing it. After a great deal of scrambling and stumbling We reached our cars and in half an hour most of us were home, much to the regret of a few Sophomores and Juniors Who had hoped to initiate us. Our Wiener roast is now a fond memory and all of us are looking forward to the time when We can have our Sophomore Wiener roast. -Mary Arrilla Deffenbaugh, '36. SOPHOMORE WIENER ROAST 4 The Sophomore class and the teachers met at the high school on September 21, after school to start for West Park, Where the class Some of the students Went out early to collect sticks they also got the Wcod for the fire.

ROAST The Juniors and Seniors held a gcod, old-fashioned Wiener roast at the LeRoy Golf Grounds on September 28. There Was almost a perfect attendance, and to get up a good appetite, some played ball, While others Went exploring in the Woods.. At length, the fire was ready to roast Wieners, but alas! Almost everyone had forgotten about sticks, so there was a grand rush for the tall timber. In a short time everyone Was back and could be seen fighting over the Wieners and buns. After all the eatables were gone, Mary Helen said she had been gypped because she only had eight Wieners and a dozen imarchmallows. Both classes spent an un- forgettable evening, and everyone started Wending his Way home about nine o'clock. - Paul McClanahan, '34. -1-r -H -1 ' T' A l ,lg 41 'mg-14 Q6

Z3 -T - wifi E FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE HOBO PARTY A funny-looking group of hoboes fF'reshmen and Sophomoresh assembled before the high school on the night of October 25. They were having lots of fun, despite their odd appearances. After a while they all went into the gym and played games. Every- one enjoyed the Virginia Reel and the games that were played. Later in the evening the Sophies served the little green Freshies hot chocolate and sandwiches. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing. Everyone departed for his home laughing as he went. -Mildred Weidner, '35. THE HALLOVVE'EN PARTY Instead of the regular Hallowe'en party, this year the Home Economics Club gave a carnival. The price of everything was a penny. There was every kind of booth, ranging from the beauty parlor to the fishing pond. The visit to the House of Horrors or Bluebeard's Castle, as it was called, was a blood-curdling experience. The girls screamed, the boys yelled and ran, for there on the table one of Bluebeard's wives lay dead. Shocks were felt and beheld at every turn. There were races in the hallfa penny to see, a penny to enter, and a prize if you won. And last but not least, there were coffee, cookies, and candy for sale+not the regular kind of carnival candy, but real fudge and divinity, made by the Home Eco- nomic Club Girls. Wilma Strain, '34. ST. PATRICK'S DANCE Friday evening, March 17, a St. Patrick's dance was held in the gymnasium of E. T. H. S. Invitations were extended to pupils and faculty only. Everyone was re- quested to wear something green. During the evening the crowd enjoyed two square dances and a circle fox trot. You should have heard Paul McClanahan and John Murdock, the callers. Our fathers and grandfathers couldn't have done better. Music was furnished by Al Legro and his orchestra from E. T. H. S., featuring Paul Buckles as crooner. Even though a few were caught in the rain while returning home, everyone had a good time. We hope St. Pat will let us celebrate again next year. -Barbara Barr, '35.
