She had all the qualities a school secretary should have. We are sure the school wouldn’t have been the same without our cheerful and capable secretary.

An important job was the care of the Circle 51 which Mr. Nelson (Red) Smith did a very fine job. The good condition of our school attributes to the hard work that “Red” has done for many years. We appreciate the things he has done for us during the four years of our high school life. On October second, 1950, a man from Java came to school and presented an exhibition of things from Java, along with an explanatory talk. The Javanese spoke of the customs and dress in Java. While explaining the dress of the Javanese, he asked two boys and two girls to come up to the stage. He dressed Juanita Ridgeway in a rich family ' s wedding dress. Phyllis McCay became a shopper in a Java store. From a seemingly large piece of stripped cloth, and a short, long sleeved jacket, the man transformed Roy Caldwell into a common man, from Java. Dean Seely wore a long, blue garment and his dress was typical of a higher class man from Java. The scene was now complete, and with the youths dressed in Javanese clothing, the Javanese concluded his very interesting assembly.
