Senior Play In February the Seniors turned futuristic and tried to find a way for our young ladies to diet and still get all of their vitamins. Although they had a hard time finding a suitable dramatization of such a plot they finally succeeded. They chose a three act play entitled SOUP TO NUTS , a Samuel French production. The action of the play took place in the lounge of the Eatlight Sanitorium, on the desert at Palm Springs, California.

During the months of December and January the boys entered the county pest hunt, winning first prize. They scored 552 pigeons, 546 starlings, 347 rats, 2,223 sparrows, 145 mice, 8 crows, 1 woodchuck, 4 weasels and 1 mole. In reward they received a beautiful gold cup. In February the organization sent a team of three boys consisting of Junior S., Edward K., and Alvin R., to Columbus to participate in the apple and potato judging contests held their. The team held third place in the apple judging which was a jump of six places from last year. Junior came through with second in the state, individually. Although they didn't make such a remarkable record on potato judging, I must not neglect to state they occupied ninth place in the state. In April the boys gave a father and son banquet. This June the boys are sending delegates to participate in the livestock contest, which is to be held at Columbus. We want to wish the boys all sorts of good luck and we hope they come through on top. First row -Alvin Rozelle, Keith Scheele, Neil Curtiss, Junior Sharninghouse, Dwight Lu Rue, Gage Aukerman.
