Hazel Panelt, as the representative high school girl, was chosen Nlay Queen in 1925. The maid-of-honor was Catherine Boyle. This was the first year in which a May Festival had ever been held in Kearney high school. It was sponsored by the Girls Club with the help of Miss Helen Cherny, Miss Jessie l-liett. Miss Marion Madigan, Miss Alta Kibler, and Miss Augusta Kibler. Two attendants from each were chosen. The attendants were: seniors, Ruby Fleharty and Elizabeth Clark: juniors, Ena Bowen and Avis Lam- bert: sophomores, Thelma Erwin and Louise West: freshmen, Orba Harris and Elise Peaker. The attendants and Ciirls Council were dressed in pastel shades which further en- hanced the color of the scene. One of the prettiest phases of the cere- niony was the Maypole Dance. The Nlaypole was decorated in blue, pink, green and yellow and the dancers were dressed in the same colors. The presentation of the pendant was made by Miss Augusta Kibler. A solo dance to the queen was given by Esther Drake. The order of processional was the senior girls followed by the underclass girls. Next. came the Ciirls Council which preceded the flower girls. Following these came the crown bearer followed by the Maid of Honor. Then came the Nlay Queen. The order of recessional was exactly cpposite to the processional. This May Festival was attended by numerous townspeople and all agreed that it was a beautiful scene.

'latlaui and Evaf, Adam and Eva was presented by the senior class at the opera house, April 16. The play was enjoyed by all. The play is that of an American business man who has a genius for making money but is unable to manage his family. Nathaniel Burke, as the American business man, did not leave a trace of doubt in the minds of the audience as to his ability for making money, but he showed how very hard it was to manage his family, who regarded him as being troublesome except when he was writing checks. His young business manager was Adam Smith, Guy Pierce. He offered advice and told Mr. King how a home should be managed so Mr. King made Adam Smith the household manager and left for a vacation. Troubles soon con- fronted Adam, so he led the family to be- lieve that their father had loit his money. The members of the family all went to work. Mr. King returned to find that his family had moved to the country and that they were all changed and everything was all right. The winning Eva.

All the vessels of a fleet are drawn together in the calm, tropical bay. Palms wave against a background of far-off hills. The ships are a mass of color. Pennants are flying, vivid streamers are twisting in the breeze, and on board the central ship, Neptune is holding court. No, I have never crossed the equator before, says a rather irate, and wonder- ing tourist, in reply to a question. Neptune speaks. Then 'trow' 'im overboard, m' lads, he says to a frowzy bunch of ludicrously dressed sailors. Vvhereupon the traveler is given a dip in an improvised pool of salt water. This is the experience of all the other travelers who have not crossed the equator before, and the rest of the clay and the follow- ing night are spent in abandoned revelry. And this, in a way, interprets Sup- erba, the high school fun carnival held January 22, in the high school audi- torium. Before the program began people were astounded by the amazing individual who sat in front of the partition curtains and knitted. The most amazing person! It wore a derby, checkered pants, spats- oh, what a haberdasher's wreck! And none other was he than Ben Nye. Prizes were given for the three best acts presented-each of which was the product of some organization. First prize was won by the Cilee Club, under the direction of Miss Helen Cher- ny, presenting, Sweethearts in Song, a romantic fantasy of a boy trying to choose the ideal sweetheart from those myriads of girls in our popular songs. As each type appeared in the large golden heart, Miss Maxine King, soprano, sang the song. Virginia O'Connor and Eva Bowen were the playmates. Mary Arthurs was the Ciirl of Long Ago. Thelma Bowersox was the Indian Maid. Helen Cruit was the Quaker Maid. Esther Drake was a Colonial Maid. Eleanor Bessie was a Spanish Maid. Thelma Hoover was the Scotch Maid. Zelda Bahr and Opal Shafto were the Irish Girls. Beulah Pearson was the Chinese: Ruth Yager the Japane:e Girl. Helen Loewenstein was the Dutch Crirl. Helen Ewald, Opal Shafto, and Thelma Irwin were the Hawaiian Girls. Crenevieve Turner was the American Ciirl. Miss Springtime. Juanita Bolin was the Red Cross Nurse. Arona Erickson was Katy. Helen Clark, Phyllis Johnson, Ruth Sitorius, Cynthia Easterling, Emily lVlil- ler, and Katherine Skinner were the bridesmaids. Second prize was won by the Girls' Sport Club with their tumbling act, The Pyramid Builders, coached by Miss Jessie Hiett. The act featured, Viola Marquis, Maurine Mclieynolds, Maxine Godfrey, Elise Peaker, Martha Foster. Edith Vvard, Edna McReynolds, Mil- dred Mitchell, Doris Boucher, Eleanor Bessie, Fern Ankney, and Helen john- SOD. Helen Ewald won third place with her convulsing costume reading, At the Theatre, the story of an elderly Dutch farmer lady attending a product of Romeo and Juliet.
