Our band at Duke Stadium students are recognized at tapping ceremonies held in assembly. A member of this organization must stand in the upper third of his class. To be elected into the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y is another honor to be desired by a student. There is a limited membership and all members have to be elected. Each year the Hi-Y presents a minstrel for which it is famous. If you arenit afraid to stand before hundreds of people, then youlll be interested in the oratorical declamation contest, sponsored by the Lions, Club, which is an annual event looked forward to by many. The contest is divided into four groups: The freshmen and sophomore boys, and junior and senior girls. The speeches are also divided into humorous and serious. Awards are given to the four winners. Those who enter must have won out in the preliminaries, semi-finals, and finals. Another distinguished and useful department is the nursery school. During the war, the nursery school was supported by the government, but now it is supported by the State. Children from two to five are allowed to come. Games, working with the hands, and proper manners are taught. The chil- dren are fed two and sometimes three meals per day. They also take naps in the morning and after- noon. The children are also taught to play together in harmony. A great deal of equipment including see-saws, swings, a sliding board, and many other large recreational utensils has been acquired. In the spring, we have another long looked-for event. This is honor day. This is a day set aside on which the students receive recognition for perfect attendance, scholarship and honors bestowed upon them by school and civic organizations. Letters are presented to those boys and girls who have earned them in football, basketball, tennis, baseball, and rifling. The Foy Roe Trophy is presented to the most valuable football player, and the Johnny Schmidt Trophy and Placque to the most valuable baseball player. A new trophy, presented last year for the first time, is the Trask Trophy given to the football player with the highest scholastic record. The girl, elected by the sophomore class as being nearest like Martha Halligan, is presented the Martha Halligan Cup, which was first presented in 1943. The Helen Bridgers Cup is given by the girls' Hi-Y to the senior girl who most nearly lives up to the ideals exemplified by her life. The Joe Schrader Memorial Cup is presented to the most outstanding senior boy by the boys' Hi-Y. The Civitan Cup is given to the most outstanding senior. The Chemistry and Physics Awards are given to the students who are the most outstanding in these fields. Well, Class of '48, it looks like you had better get to work if you're going to live up to the good work of '47, but best of luck to you and may you always remember your senior year in high school as the best one.
