PASEO'S NEW' PAVING Enrollment for the second term began on December 5. Each student desiring to make a change turned in a list of the changes de- sired, together with his program for this semester. This was done at this date so that the office force would have time to ar- range the next semesterls schedule of classes and make new program cards. VVith the double assemblies held Novem- ber 23, Paseo ended its celebration of the Wasliington Bicentennial which began over a year ago. Talks were given by Dan Kelli- her, Jimmy Hazlett, and Pat Hillias. Patri- otic selections were sung by the music de- partment. Mr. Stigall gave a Thanksgiving talk at the Q Jening of the assembly. T hc? orches ra under the direction of Louis L Hansen and Bob Harris played the first in- tersociety mixer of the year. It was held in the boys' gym after sixth hour on Decem- ber 2. This intersociety mixer was sponsor- ed by the chartered clubs. The boys of the football squad were invited as guests of honor but because of the basketball practice many of them could not attend. The Student Council voted to buy and decorate a Christmas tree for the foyer in the front hall, following the annual custom of Paseo. As in former years the tree was financed by a one cent contribution from each student that was collected by the rep- resentatives. Miss Mabelle Miller was the faculty member in charge of the decorations. Jimmy Hazlett, president of the Council, ap- pointed different members of the Council to buy and decorate it. The fall play under the direction of Miss Anna McCoy Francis was presented the night of December 16. Phillipa Gets There concerned the adventures of one Phil Carter, a young actor, who was in love with Dora Brandon, daughter of Ira Brandon, a mil- lionaire art collector. The first order for senior rings and pins was taken January 18. An interesting fact was that the girls bought more rings than the boys and that few people ordered pins. The pins and rings were ordered from the Green Jewelry Company. The second assembly play by the expres- sion classes was given February 10. The play was entitled Back to Your Knitting. There were two casts.

There were one hundred and sixty students present but the attendance was cut down because many of the would-be hoofers were also on the football team and could not break training. The Red Cross drive was carried on from November 21 to November 23. ln those three days the school children of Kansas City were .asked to raise ten thousand dol- lars. This year there was no- advertising of one-hundred percent rooms or compari- son of contributions. The pupils were ask- ed to give for the cause, not to boost the room average. On December 9, the first assembly play was given by the expression classes. The theme of the one-act comedy dealt with VVomen suffrage in the 80's. The Mouse Trap was presented by two casts, one in each assembly, so that more students were able to display their ability on the stage.

cast were taken by Mary Caywood and Larry Pyle, those in the second cast were taken by Helen Hensley and john Holt. The first all school mixer of the second semester was held after sixth hour in the boys, gym on February 10. The music was furnished by the orchestra of Louis Hansen and Bob Harris. About one hundred and fifty tickets were sold at the office Window before school. A new type of piece, Lady of Spain, was tried by the orchestra as a specialty. Each year Paseo students distinguish themselves in a different field. Last year was a very outstanding year. But this year is not to be outdone, although the honors are of a different type. Elizabeth Searles, a junior, was recently announced as winner of the second place in the annual essay con- test sponsored by the Sons of the Revolu- tion. Her subject was T110 Eiglzfceizflz Ameizdmrlzf, the subject used by all com- petitors. This is the first time that a Paseo student has placed in this contest. The faculty committee chose four people as finalists for the school elimination con- test in the Kansas City Star's Oratorical Contest. They were D.an Kelliher, Pat Hil- lias. Hugh Bland, and Joe Krug. At an assembly March 17, Dan Kelliher was chos- en as the one to represent Paseo at Conven- tion Hall. Some of the events of a busy school year have been chronicled in the foregoing re- view.
