Their travels included the French Riviera, Paris, Rome, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the Scandinavian countries. While they were in Scotland, the Burns tamily traveled to Inverness and the Inverness country. The junior class play, I Remember Mama, was under the di- rection ot Mrs. Marion Powers while Robert Singelstad acted as the head debate coach, during a successful year. Miss Irene Mehlhouse's speech students introduced assembly speakers as extra credit work. For other speech activities the classes presented plays, interviewed businessmen, studied parliamentary procedure and the voice. Journalism students spent the year as amateur reporters. They published two editions oi the High News in the spring and also made booklets in which they carried out a year- book theme of their own choosing. 15
