SENIOR PLAY You and I, a very interesting three-act comedy by Phillip Barry, was presented by the Senior class Thursday and Friday, Marcli 22 and 23. The play, under the direction of Miss Johnson and Miss Asman, was a huge success. The story is of a man who was unable to follow the profession which he wanted because he wanted to marry. He has lived very happily but the old longing often comes back. His son is then placed in the same dilemma, whether he should become a great architect or marry. The play takes one through three acts before it is discovered that the father, be- cause he quit business and went to painting, has lost his money. He sells his picture, how- ever, and goes back into business, sending his son and the girl he loves over to Europe where the son can study architecture. The play was a success not only because of the splendid manner of its presentation, but also because it was so different from any other play pre- sented by a class, since it had tragic significance.

' F. Atkinson. SENIOR-FRESI-IMAN RECEPTION About the second month of school the Freshies made their debut into the society of the high school. Another class likewise was feeling rather shaky at the thought and preparation of their First social function in their career as seniors. The auditorium was very softly lighted, being hung with lamps and crepe paper in pastel hues in the usual clever style this class has always been noted for. A short program consisting of a play taken from the story of Bluebea.rd and His Seven Wivesl' was presented under the direction of the sponsors. Each wife represented a frivolity that would attract a young person in high school. The rest of the evening's entertainment was spent in playing games and dancing. Popcorn, apples and sweet cider were served. I8

Eighty of us entered as Freshmen. All of us were excited and a big hubbub took place before we became settled. During the first few days it was rather hard to keep quiet, to keep in our own domain and to dodge the sophs,' but we managed. And now when we review the four years that we have spent in P. H. S., we are impressed with their rapid flight. Ir seems as though it were only yesterday that the sophs began ordering us about, and we began to wonder what was coming next. Our Freshman class officers were elected after the first month: President, Archie Crumm, Vice-President, Harold Norris, Secretary, Harold Hubert, Treasurer, Lawrence Rattenbury. Our first social activity was the Freshman reception given to us by the class of '25 who en- tertained us royally. At the close of the Freshman year all of us were completely adjusted and immune to the jibes of the Sophs', although we were just waiting for our chance at the Freshmen the next year. Our Sophomore year began with the election of the following officers: President, Frazer Carmichael, Vice-President, Franklin Atkinson, Secretary, Dorothy Hillman, Treasurer, Corinne Howell. We did have our fun with the Freshies too. And then finally the exams, and the end of the year. Next in line came the year when usually everyone begins to feel a degree of importance and absolute necessity-the Junior year. Our officers were: President, Lawrence Rattenbury, Vice-President, Joy McNabb, Secretary, Leona Beyer, Treasurer, Helen Carruthers. A great feature in our lives was that we were to give a J-Hop. This was a huge success, and the decorations were acclaimed as the most beautiful ever seen in P. H. S. And then on May 20th we gave our Junior-Senior Banquet and not long afterwards we were the Seniors to be. And now twelve years are gone. Our Senior year was most successful. At the first meeting we elected the following officers: President, Lawrence Rattenbury, Vice-President, Mac Donnelly, Secretary, Margaret Schaufele, Treasurer, Joy McNabb. To compensate for our reception by the class of '25 we gave the Freshman reception which was well attended. The Senior Play was presented on March 22-23, and was said to be the most successful play ever produced in P. H. S. The title was You and If' by Phillip Barry. Then came the Senior Prom, which was a beautiful affair and a money making proposi- tion. And now we come to an end with the juniors bidding us goodbye with a Junior-Senior Banquet. We wish to thank our patrons and patronesses, Mr. Holcomb, Mr. and Mrs. Dykehouse and Miss Asman, for the help they have given us in the past years. -F. Atkinson ?0
