Snowflakes suspended from the ceiling, snowmen we put on our Junior Prom. The Grand March guarded the balcony and with evergreen trees around the hall made a charming winter scene. Our last school year in the dear L.HsS. has finally come. Mr- Matheson is our guide, having Room 5 as our home room. A new addition has been made to our class--Belle Russell. The class officers are the same as in the two previous years. A Columbus Day program was given in assembly by the Senior Class. The hu orous life of Colu bus was written and acted by the class with Martha Harrington reading the poem. We are having something new in assembly--real movies such as you would see in a theater. The Seniors decorated the stage and hall for the Hallowe'en Party with corn stalks and pumpkins, with bats, stars, and moon in the background. Much time and effort was put into the Senior Class Play, 'The Mummy and the Mumpsn, which was presented to the public in the L.H.S. auditorium, April 10. Two Sir Hector Fishes, three Miss Agatha Laidlaws, plus a well-minded but stupid servant, Rocker, provided the laughs for the evening. open to Burrill, A Prize Speaking Contest was held April 29 the Junior and Senior Classes.

Many headaches have been caused in order to complete thc yearbook on time, but finally we have it almost finished. The yearbook is being dedicated to Miss May-Estabrook, who was a former teacher of this'school and is still remembered by all. With a much smaller band of explorers than we had when we first entered the nlittle red school housen, we now continue our exploring to Toy Town Tavern for Class Day and to the Methodist Church for Bac- calaureate Sunday. Then comes that big night when we are all handed our diplomas and take our final bows to the public as students, and finally, the Senior Prom--all things we have looked forward to since our first days in the high school. 3 1
