James Timbers won high honors in oratory, taking second place at La Crosse and fourth place at Madison. The Prom, which was given in honor of the Seniors of 1934, will long be remembered. The Banquet was held in the Presbyterian Church. Several of the students spoke on the subject 'All the lorld's A Stage.' James Timbers was our King, and Kathryn Doherty made a charming Queen. The gym was decorated to represent a Japanese garden. Cal Schultz's orchestra furnished the music for the dance. lach Junior was privileged to invite one guest.

It was a romantic comedy in which a young girl changes her old-fashioned habits and becomes a modern young woman. Our picnic was another event which we all enjoyed. On May 51, we graduated from high school and went out into the world as Ireshmen. Many were eager to see what was await- ing them and others regretted that their high school career was ended. to be as everyone wore clothes to fit the all who attended.
