Chorus and girls. Last winter the chorus, orchestra and band gave a concert in the high school auditorium. There was a large attendance and all who came enjoyed it greatly. A double quartet of both boys and girls was chosen from the chorus and sang at several en- - C'ont'd tertainments. A boy's quartet sang for the Chamber of Commerce and at some other en- tertainments which helped to give them experi- ence. The chorus has accomplished much in the past year and hopes to achieve much more in the year to come. Orchestra NDER the able direction of Robert Woods, our high school orchestra has risen to new heights in the field of music.

May Exhibit News N THURSDAY, May 6, as part of the exhibit program, the crowning of the May Queen, Mary King, of L.H.S. took place in the high school auditorium and the enter- tainment proved to be a huge success. Eight other girls who had been nominated for the position of May Queen served as ladies-in- waiting. They were: Betty Pease, Marjorie Clahn, Elsie Kipp, Margaret Wackerle, Jean- nette Taylor, June Parks, Dorothy Crowell and Helen Heid. Besides the coronation a regular program was put on under the direction of Miss I-Ieid, dramatic coach. We hope that this feature of our high school life will be continued in the future. Our annual grade and high school exhibit was held May 7. Each year this exhibit attracts many people who come and see the work of the students. This not only provided parents and friends with an opportunity to view the student's work but also gives the class members a chance to display their ability in showing what they have learned in their classes. The gym in the high school was divided into many different booths each representing a cer- tain class such as English, Geometry, etc. Each booth was decorated entirely by the students of that class who spent many, long hours outside of school to do their part toward making the exhibit a success. The science, athletic and grade exhibits were placed along the sides of the gym and lent color to the room. Each exhibit required initiative, hard work and originality. Everything was planned with the utmost care in order to attract the interest of the visitors. The members of the orchestra offered their services for the evening and played many differ- ent selections. Some of the highlights of the exhibit were: the garden of books and original books dis- played by the English class, the scrap books and frieze made by the Speech class and the huge black and white poster exhibit of famous mathematicians which provided a very restful contrast to the other booths. This is only a few of the exhibits but it gives you a general idea of the work done by the students. Because of the co-operation and interest of the townspeople shown by the large attendance at this exhibit the students and faculty feel that their efforts were well worth the time put forth. American Legion Award EMI-ANNUALLY the American Legion awards a medal to a boy and a girl of the eight-two grade. The qualifications for the medal are scholarship, service, leadership, cour- age and honor. The candidates receiving the medal are chosen by their class mates at a general election and also approved by the junior High School teachers as being worthy. The medals for june, 1937 were awarded to Bernice Korthas and Carlton Wiegand. Because the Graphic came out last December before an election was held to decide who would receive the January 1937 awards no announce- ment was made in this book. However, we are going to make up for lost time by publishing their names now. Helen Milliken and Harry Norton are the two persons who qualified on all the points listed above. Congratulations to you all and may each one of you live up to the honor bestowed upon you by your class mates. ' Chorus HORUS in the high school is for both boys and girls and gives them a chance to display their vocal talents. One must take it at least two periods a week in order to get credit for this course. It is very interesting work and although the amount of credit allowed is small, only M unit for a year's work, the time spent on it is not wasted. Under Mrs. Wright's capable direction, the chorus has improved greatly in the last year. Chorus is taught four periods a week now, two periods for girls and two periods for both boys Page Seven
