Christmas Party The Christmas party this year was held st the high school During the first part of the program, we enjoyed sound films presented by the Bicknell Studio of Portland. Following this was the exchange of presents and the afternoon closed with refreshments served by the faculty. Prize Speaking This year found it more difficult te determine the contestants for the annual prize speaking contest. For the past years, it has been required that each member of the student body make preparations for the try-outs from which a division of twelve is chosen. An improvement of particular notice is that considerable more effort was made and more interest taken by the individuals. -nun-3--- .A-1
