Afternoon of December 20, soft music came from the cafeteria where Homemaking I girls were modeling clothes for their moth- ers-after the style show, tea was served from a table centered with Christmas greens and bouncing snowballs . . . At last, our all-school Christmas Party-a series of cartoons at the local theater put us in good spirits for the dayg a play, The Empty Gesture, by members of the speech class gave us the real meaning of Christmasg a hilarious skit by Messrs. Johnson, Adams, and Hauge left us laughingg and then the climax of the party-the exchange of gifts and treats with Cecil Susie Worthey coming out with the biggest package . . .

The team, coached by Mrs. Caroline Potter, was composed of twenty-one girls most of whom were underclass- men. Practice was held every Monday evening and an additional practice was given prior to a performance at the basketball games. The outfits worn by the team this year were yellow suits with cir- cular skirts. The season was climaxed at the Farmer City game, Febru- ary 24, when Mary Anne Graning, Wanda Harvey, Bertha Belle Poindexter, and Bertha Williamson added a comical note to the routines by being dress- ed in gym suits reminiscent of the gay 90's with middy blouses, black bloomers, floppy tennis shoes, and ribbons in their hair. Their antics brought many a laugh from the spectators. Two-year letters were received by Shirley Williams, Dorothy Var- boncoeur, Thelma Mears, Rosemary Billings, Lola Corry, Darlene Gran- ing, Alma June Brown, and Bertha Belle Poindexterg and three-year awards were given to Mary Anne Graning, Wanda Harvey, and Bertha Williamson. The agility of the members of the Tumbling Team has grown to be admired by all who have seen them- perform at the home basketball games. THE HOOP and a spontaneous cheer from the crowd indicated the Maroons had made another basket. After a sluggish start, the team came through with eight wins for the season, and several of the losses were by such close margins that the boys had a moral victory even in defeat. To give you the high points of the season, we shall relay a brief rundown of the games. twenty six
