Freshman Initiation At the beginning of the school year the Freshmen were initiated into the high school. This initiation was especially good as it was sponsored by the upper classmen instead of the usual Sophomores. The punishment during the day consisted of the boys wearing dresses, high heeled shoes, and ribbons; while the girls wore mens shoes, (if they could find any big enough) short dresses, and boys hats. The program afterwards consisted of a dance, games, and refreshments. As a whole everyone wa:-well pleased including the Frsshmen. School Parties There were a number of school parties given this year, all of them mr. h alike, with the exception of one, which wras the “Sadie Hawkins” narty. In the afternoon the girls chased the boys to see who took them to the party. Unlike the real “Sadie Hawkins” party the boys did not have to marry the girls who caught them. The students came dressed as characters from the comic strip, “Li’l Abner.” Some of the better impersonations were Li’l Abner, Daisy Mae, and Hairless Joe. Christmas Program For the first time in years the high school organized a chorus, consisting of about sixteen boy and girls equally divided. Their first appearance was at the Christmas play where they sang three songs as a group and a fourth number in which a mixed quartet took the lead with the chorus as a background. This seems to be an activity which will grow more and more popular as the years come and go, and as the students learn more ot “part” singing. Junior-Senior Party The Junior-Senior Class Advisor, Mr. Lundberg, gave these two classes a party on Friday, March 7. This was a very interesting party in that games were much different from those played at other parties. First the boys and girls were given two pie :es of crepe paper, three pins, and a piece of string. The bewildered students were then asked to make a hat. A prize was given for the best girls hat and also one for the best boys hat. Then we played “cootie” with a box of chocolates given to the high scorer. After this refreshments were served and everyone went home happy. Weiner Roast On March 13, 1941, a weiner roast was given to all the students of the High School. This was probably the happiest party of the whole year, in that everyone was there. Mr. and Mrs. Meagher, high school favorites and also the persons who gave the party, managed to keep all of the boys and girls interested in games, hiking, or in some way, the secret of which they will not reveal. About ten o°cl ock the weiners were roasted and -(46)-
