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.

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.

highly successful, for the student body has co-operated with them to a great extent. No doubt the lunch periods would be the very picture of tumult, turbulence, conges- tion and all manner of disorder were it not for the efficient endeavors and exertions of these Hbobbiesf, Of course the efficiency is greatly augmented by the free lunches provided by Mrs. Gibson. Mr. Shepherd is the faculty adviser and Jess Allen is the di- rector-general this year. The other officers were: Dan Kelliher, Eugene Pirtle, Bob Barnes, john Howard, James Hazlett and Barney Hays. STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council of the first semes- ter continued carrying on the activities with which that group has been associated in pre- vious years, and did work of a special nature which deserves mention. The four standing committees: property, safety, courtesy, and school history, fulfilled their prescribed duties. The work of the property committee was of special importance. That group, headed by Forest Richardson. sent a petition con- taining the names of students, teachers and patrons to the city council, it resulted in the paving of Flora Avenue from Houston to Swope Parkway. The Student Council is proud to say that it had a part in making the great muddy way safe for travel. An innovation in the list of the councills regular activities was introduced to the stud- ent body in the form of an evenings free entertainment. Cn Friday, December 2, Dr. Richard L. Sutton, dermatologist and big- game hunter, lectured on the Arctic Safariy' which he took during the summer of 1932. MRS. NEVA CHRISTINE His two-hour lecture was illustrated by lan- tern slides. As in former years, the council conducted the sales of football and basketball season tickets and took charge of the Paseo Press and junior Red Cross subscriptions. The first semester group also helped to start the sale of Paseons. The Christmas tree which has become a tradition in the foyer during the Yule season was again sponsored by the representatives. One of the last acts of the organization was a revision of the activity point system. The members of the executive board were: presi- dent, jimmy Hazlettg vice-president, Dan Kelliherg secretary, Mary Lee Jones, treas- urer, Jeanne Mason, sergeant-at-arms. ulohn Howard, senior members: Ralph Sokoloff and Bruce Wfalkerg juniors: Nancy Mahin and Mary Caywoodg sophomores: Joe Hodge and Tom Mix, freshmen: Clara Mae Hanenkratt and Thalls Thrasher. The accomplishments attained by the Student Council during the second semester were chiefly the result of action taken by the four standing committees of the organ- ization. The work of the Safety committee resulted in the formation of a club to be known as the Paseo Automobile Club, the purpose of which is to promote a spirit of safety consciousness within the entire stud- ent body, and especially those students who drove regularly. A sticker for the rear window of the auto- mobile, issued only to students passing a test of driving ability. identified members with the school and made them more con- spicuous in any driving irregularity of which they might have been guility, and displayed to observers any creditable man- MISS FRANCES LARSON MISS MARIE FRIEND MISS VVIL HUTCHINSON -10-
