There were 216 students graduated from Northwestern in the class of January, 1930. The june class will graduate 467 students. Of this number, approximately twofthirds have entered higher institutions of learning to further satisfy their quest for knowledge. During the month of October, Northwestern purchased 40 acres of land in the Detroit News Reforestation Plan. Northwestern's three publications, the Noawnsrss, Odds and Ends, and Colt brought new laurels to Northwestern when the Michigan Interfscholastic Press Association conf ferring at Ann Arbor, awarded Northwestern the Sweepstakes Cup. This award is made to the school gaining the greatest number of points through its publications. North- western having placed first, three times, permanently keeps the Chimes Cup. On November 15, 16 and 18 Northwestern's youthful talent submitted Vanity Fair. Thirtyfthree acts were given, seevn of which remained in the final contest. The entire mu- sical comedy was original, and was written for the occasion. Much of the music was composed and all of it was arranged by the artists. The graduation class of January completed its social functions with the commencement banquet held in the school lunch room, january 22. In February, The Romantic Age, written by A. A. Milne, was presented. The play, produced under the direction of Miss julia E. Gettemy, introduced a new feature, that of a matinee given in addition to the three regular evening performances. The year's debating was most successful, Northwestern winning city championship and being second in state, only to Clawson, by whom we were defeated in the debate finals held at Ann Arbor. In sports, Northwestern won more than half of all events entered into. Records set by us number more than all other city high schools together. llil
