Mr. Byers The Pow Wow has reached the second mile post in its career. This year witnessed several changes in the pages and construction of the paper. A separate sheet was dedicated to sports, another ot guest editorials and articles which dealt with the time and development of the school. During the second semes- ter, each class edited an issue, choosing their own editors and getting out the paper to suit themselves. Some clever Pow Wows were the result. 4ELANOR ALLEN. DEBATE Th debate season for the Oakville High School was not very successful from the standpoint of getting winning decisions, but it was successful in getting three veteran debaters for next year. This year's question was: Resolved: That All Electric Utilities Should Be Government Owned and Operated. Our affirmative team, composed of Dorothy Rohleder, Virgil Holloway, and Elzie Holderreed, met Olympia here in their first league debate. They lost by a two to one decision. Their other debate was with Morton, which they lost by a one-point margin. The negative team, Elzie Holderreed, Edward Brant and John Manire, first tangled with Onalaska here. The one judge gave the decision to Onalaska. The final debate was with Kelso there. Although Kelso won, the debate was very close and the decision of the judges again was split. The teams enjoyed the season very much and feel that they learned a great deal and are looking forward to another successful season with Mr. Johnson as adviser and coach. GIRLS' CLUB -JOHN MANIRE.

B ernice Williams As the school year once again comes to an end, the members of the Girls' Club feel that their efforts have not been devoid of merit. Under the leadership of Miss Nickerson, several projects have been suc- cessfully carried out. The first semester was devoted entirely to the remodeling of the girls' room. Window seats were built and upholstered, the big chair was covered, the woodwork was painted blue, to matchl the upholstery, a dressing table was draped with cretonne and gold draperies at the window added a touch of elegance. Funds for the undertaking were secured through sales of candy and popcorn. l In the spring two important events were held, a tea honoring the girls' mothers was held the Thursday before Mothers' Day, and a gay big and little sister party ended an interesting and eventful year. -ECHO BRAMER.

SENIOR PLAY Crashing Society was a hilarious and entertaining travesty on social climbers. Mr. and Mrs. Dunnigan and their three children have moved to the city Where Mrs. Dunnigan hopes to realize three cherished ambitions, namely: To marry her daughter to the son of a social leaderg have her picture on the society page of the newspaper, and to entertain the Van Witherspoolis at her home. Through the conmving and plotting of Mr. Dunnigan she contrives to attain the last two goals, but the first -is gained with- out any help from anyone, as the oldest daughter falls in love with Cyril Van Wither- spoon when she discovers he is a real fellow. The haughty butler, Scruples-Scruples, furnished many of the laughs of the play. JUNIOR PLAY Girl Shy was presented November 25. We feel that our success was due to Miss Nickersoifs excellent coaching and the cooperation and help of Mrs. Lauderdale. The play dealt with the love affairs of two young college men. It is brought about by Babs Sanford, who poses as a maid in the boysl apartment while the real maid tries to crash the movies. Miss Sanford is a wealthy young lady who is 'fgunningi' for' Tom. Tom becomes engaged to her to avoid marrying Sylvia NVebster, his father's choice for him. When he finds out who Miss Sanford really is, he decides to make the engage- ment real. In the end all of the characters except Mr. Arsdale, Tom's father, and Asma, the colored wash lady, are absorbed in the toils of romance. OPERETTA Polished Pebbles was presented December 17 when a crowded house packed the auditorium to witness the music departments first great undertaking of the year. The story deal with a young country girl, Rosalieg a Negro farm hand, who later turns out to be the wealthy uncle, and Mrs. O'lirien and her two spoiled daughters. The latter three have just returned from :1 trip to Europe, which was financed by the girls' uncle. They now consider themselves much too good for their surroundings and their old friends, who have come out to welcome them. But pride goeth before a fallf' and in the end they are glad to take their former places in the community. Comedy was fur- nished by Mr. and Mrs. Gabble and Martha and Nick, a red-headed freckle-faced boy. There were solos, duets and choruses by both glee clubs. A group of grade school pupils, under the direction of Miss Lily llargmyer, sang a number of choruses. -DOROTHY ROHLEDER. MINSTREL SHOW This year marks the birth of the Negro Minstrel show in our school. Under the direction of Mr. M. B. johnson and with the combined forces of the band and Boys' Glee Club, the show was a grand success. The leading parts were taken by the following: End men, john Manire, Bennett Wetherald, Robert Rosmond and Ray Simmonsg interlocutor, Virgil Holloway. A saxo- phone quartet, consisting of David Storey, Dana Conklin, Lester Gillis and Don Schlegel, played southern airs. A male quartet including Neil Theriault, Rat Theriault, Robert Rosmond and Ray Simmons, sang several comedy numbers. There were vocal solos by Neil Theriault, David Storey and Mr. johnsong a monologue by Ray Simmons, a trom- bone novelty, featuring Margaret Weilaiid and Neil Theriault, and ensemble numbers by the band and glee club. The end men kept everyone laughing with their continuous outburst of jokes shared with the interlocutor. -RAY SIMMONS. ONE-ACT PLAY CONTEST The contest opened with a bang! Darkness, gangsters, robbery, shooting-excite ment aplenty given by the eighth graders. A pause-the curtain rises on a Negro boarding house, black-faced mammy and everything, presented by the Freshmen. The Sophomore play shows how two old ladies overcame the depression. A rapid transfer of a maid's cap, an apron, a pearl necklace and an emerald ring, and the lady becomes the maid, and the maid a lady. A crisis comes when they both have guests at the same time. The Senior play held the romance of the evening. The supposedly wealthy uncle did die in the poor house, but the charming oldest daughter, financial supporter of the family, is at last happily married-with the cooperation of an affectionate family, of course. H These plays were good, but the judges decided there was one better-the Iuniors'. With their laugh-provoking comedy, Where's Elmer, they carried off the judges' votes and the 85.00 prize! -GENE PETTY. -ROSEMARY HOLD ERREED. Page Sixteen
