P.H.S.ii FRESHMAN INITIATION The annual welcome to the Freshmen by the upper classmen, was held on September 15. The girls, fpoor thingslj came wearing football suits with undone hair bedecked with a few green ribbons. The boys, not quite so unfor- tunate, had the privilege of wearing a dress or a skirt and blouse, and as many green ribbons as they could put in their hair. Most of them had as much make-up on as their faces could hold. They were all very good sports in spite of the paddles used on them by their superiors, the seniors. The Kangaroo Court provided much merriment for the upper classmen and some of the others in the afternoon. ?LP.H.S. - ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS October 16-R. B. Stringfield gave us a very interesting talk and demonstration on Chem- istry Fancies . November 6-Dr. Gable explained cosmic rays and their importance. December 5-Howa, a magician, gave a very interetaining program. January 10-The ventriloquist, Alva Brow- er was thoroughly enjoyed by all and proved to be one of our best assembly programs. April 10-Art Hook, deep sea diver, who has made over 7,000 trips to the bottom of the ocean, showed us much of his equipment and told of his battle with an octopus. Students and adults attending these pro- grams found them very interesting and are looking forward to next year's programs. JUNIOR PLAY.

In addition to her regular college-boy roomers, their girls keep popping in and out, a few parents and an aunt show up, and the Prexy and Professor Bean find occa- sion to call several times. And things happen! Spring fever has hit Brookfield. -i--P.H.S.1--- SHOWS The students of Parma had the opportunity of seeing the best pictures that came to the theatre this year. Among these shows were: Young Mr. Lincoln : Man of Conquestug They Shall Have Music g Swanee River g Bala1aika g Northwest Passage , and Young Tom Edison . The highly educational value of these pro- grams can hardly be realized by many, but we appreciate them sincerely, and hope we may have more, and also wish that everyone might have access to them. --P.H.S.l-1 HIGH SCHOOL DANCES This year all of our dances have been held in the gymnasium with a nickelodion usually furnishing the music. An orchestra was hired once or twice but the nickelodion seemed to be favored because of the variety of music and orchestras it offered. A small admission was charged to help pay expenses. Most of the dances were successful with Hardtime and Leap Year dances adding variety and interest. P.H.S.ii STUDENT BODY OFFICERS The Parma High School Student Body has had a very successful year under the leadership of Robert Pritchard, president: Mary Castater, vice-president: Peggy Morris, secretary, and Eleanor Haworth, treasurer. These officers attended the conference at Weiser on February 3. The vice-president and secretary attended a meeting at Boise November 3 and 4.
