The play Oakville selected was Jazz and Minuetf' Eleanor Van Hayden, angry because Richard Townsend, is obliged to break an engagement to take her to a dance, invited Phil as a substitute partner, a young man noted for his doubtful reputation. She ignores her mother's protests and better judgment. While she waits for him, She reads a diary written by her great-great-aunt, and experiences in a dream the tragedy that resulted from unrestrained impulse and impatience. The dream is enacted so vividedly that she awakes terrified, and it is amuch softened young woman who decides that she will make peace with her lover. The latter appears unexpectedly and the play ends with their reunion. Eleanor Van Hayden, the daughter ............ Grace Bjorkgren Prudence Van Hayden, great-great-aunt ........

f'- 'N-4N- ECL 2 g C 'J G9UR DEBATE SEASON commenced with four members: Ruth Norgard, Georgia Irvin, Rosa Dahl, Gracie Bjorkgren, and Mrs. Pearl H. Vaughan as coach. Ruth Norgard, Rosa Dahl, and Gracie Bjorkgren composed the affirma- tive team with Georgia lrvin taking the second position on the negative team. The question debated upon this year was: Resolved: That Inter-scholastic and Inter-Collegiate Athletics are Detrimental, the term detrimental to mean more harmful than beneficial. Our first debate was at Hoquiam on November 1, 1929 on the negative side of the question. Our second was at Oakville on November 22, we upholding the affirmative this time. Our third was at Adna on December 13, Oakville again taking the affirmative side of the question. Our fourth and last League Debate was held in Oakville, on January 13, 1930, this time with the negative side of the question. We had four practice debates during the season, one with Elma, Hoquiam, and two with Rochester. We had no 1-ettermen back from last year so that although we lost all our debates our debaters are to be highly commended for their good work. 40157 QL! 5 Wi xXxXXXv.1i' .,..,. A,-A Page Twenty-five

f' 'J Yeninr :mixer QBUR SOCIAL ACTIVITIES of this school year were ushered in by the annual Senior Mixer held on September 27, 1929. This event not only proved to be an enjoyable occasion but it gave the students an opportunity to become acquainted with their new school mates and teachers. The Seniors wanted to make their party a success so they decided to punish each class and the faculty by making them contribute some stunt to the program. Many laughs were derived from each stunt, but, much to the envy of the classes, it was decided that the honor of having the best stunt should go to the faculty who certainly strutted their stuff in the March of the Wooden Soldiers? The bold, bad Highwayman's appearance on the scene was provided by the Juniors. The Sophomores in, i'Needed-a Wife made us all feel sorry for them. As for thrills, they were furnished in the Spanish Bull Fighti' presented by the Freshmen. A mirth provoking characterization of the wedding of John Coolidge and Florence Trumbell was given by our baby class, the Junior High. At the conclusion of this delightful program, we all adjourned to the gymnasium where dancing and the playing of games proved to be a diversion of the evening. The refreshments served by the Seniors, consisted of cider and doughnuts. After this, everyone left voicing the one thought-that ri good time was had by all. 7 reslimen Qfieneptinn EHE FRESHMAN were given a reception by the Sophomores instead of the usual initiation. The effect of this kindly treatment has been refiected in the students all year. They are such models of behavior we think this pre- cedent should be followed. Our class colors, purple and gold, brightened the gymnasium in which the jolly company of Freshmen were entertained. Refreshments of cake and ice cream were servedg after which the guests departed with many expressions of a happy time. -E. E. P. '32 Page Twenty-seven
