Uganfiafssi Axfliillg 572015 May Day, a raw, windy spring day, but the spectators forget chills and shivers as they watch the Ord relay team sprinting in to a winning finish which decides the meet in Ord's favor. Spring sports this year center almost entirely around track work. The first warming up event of the season is a triangular meet at Bur- well in which Taylor forces Ord to second place. The next is a quad- rangular meet at St. Paul where Ord places first with many points to spare. These two contests help prepare the boys for the big Loup Valley Championship meet at Burwell, but here again Taylor proves a little too good for Ord. The really big event of the 1936 track season is the first annual Mid- Six Conference meet held at Ord May lst. Hal J. Bowers is imported from Lincoln to serve as starterg an amplifying system is set upg and arrangements made for all spectators to occupy the grandstand seats from which all parts of the track and field can be easily seen, while an- nouncer Granby keeps all informed as to placings and points. It is a close and exciting meet with Arcadia pushing Ord, much of the time there being only one point's difference in the standing of the two schools, with Broken Bow coming in as a strong third party. The half-mile relay finishes the meet giving Ord a final total of 41 to Ar- cadia's 38 points, thus entitling Ord to the two handsome trophies which have been on display for weeks.

79 LOU! H61 Ru 'minutiae Ord High School auditorium, March 18th, 10:45 P. M.-a tense audience, expectant, fearful--a provokingly deliberate judge. At the close of a long day of readings, orations, and plays the schools entered in the Sub-District Declamatory Contest await the decision concerning the humorous and dramatic readings. Placings had been announced at the close of the morning and afternoon sessions, and now, the winner of sweepstakes is to be proclaimed. Taylor and Sargent tie for thirdg Bur- well, second, Ord, first. Applause, exclamations, congratulations! Who won that honor for Ord? Credit goes to: Evelyne Loft, who took first in the dramatic section with a cutting from 'fSmilin Through , Richard Burrows, who placed first in the extemporaneous divisiong Bar- bara Dale, who took a second with her original orationg and Mae Klein, who claimed another second with her humorous reading, Little Red Rid- ing Hood . Two more trophies for our case-for Ord not only took sweepstakes but also placed first in the one-act play contest with the drama Cloey in which Ruth Koupal plays the part of a domineering aunt, Barbara Dale, the niece whom she domineersg Kenneth Eglehoff, a would-be poet who loves the niece but must marry the auntg and Evelyne Loft, a lively young neighbor girl. This cast's successful presentation in the Sub-District entitled it to go to the District contest at Ansley where it placed second. Miss Servine then entered the play in the State contest at Lincoln where it failed to place, but made a creditable showing. Besides her successful work with plays and dramatics, Miss Servine has revived the school's interest in debate. Not for many years has Ord had a debate team, but this year several of the students in the speech classes became inteested in the question of State Medicine . Their first public appearance as debaters was before a small local audience and their next at a debate tournament in St. Paul. At this tourney Ord teams engaged in six debates and won favorable decisions in four At another time they spent an afternoon at Arcadia in a fiendly bout with Arcadia debaters. Considering the fact that none of them had ever taken part in, or even heard a debate, Barbara Dale, Lillian Kusek, Richard Burrows, Erwin Dodge, Dorothy Auble, and Norma Mae Snell made a fair beginning in one of the most useful of the speech arts. th Koulml Km-ullullx Eglelwff Barbara Dale XI S e livelvnv Loft

Miss SHAVER, Class Sponsor JoY AUBLE, General G. R Cabinet, Band, Glee Club. Mr. Reader,-The Senior Class of '36-but there really isn't any need to give you a formal introduction for you have already met the members of this class in every phase of Ord High Schoo1's activities. Nearly half of the Senior Class is represented in the various musical organizations, and of the men who lettered in athletics this year more than half are Seniors. Every club in the school has a large group of Seniors-and as to class work, the Seniors shine there, too. Not always, and not all of them, 'tis true, but enough that they needn't be ashamed of their record. Now don't get the idea the class is perfect. It is'nt, and who would want it to be? Besides, it wouldn't do us any good to say so-you all know us too well. We admit we have contributed our share to faculty wrinkles and gray hair. Now look through these pages and note the faces that will be missed when the school bell rings next September. Class Vice-President, G. R., Cabinet, Science Such looks, such manners, and such mind Class Treasurer, President of G. R,, Suenr-e Club, Glee Club.
