 Spice of School Life ♦ - i Q. E. Q. Initiation Beautifully attired, mannequins sauntered out upon the stage of the High School auditorium on May 2, 1935, and caused a great stir in the fashion centers. Skits appropriate to their costumes were presented. Eighty-five Junior A and Senior B girls modeled faithfully all day in order to join the Q. E. Q. From bathing suits to prom dresses—they were the models for what the well-groomed young lady should wear. After the five o’clock dinner, at which the Q. E. Q. girls were hostesses to the initiates, prizes were awarded for sportsmanship, costumes, and best assembly skits. The serious initiation ended this perfect day. Senior Distinction Day The land of story book characters opened its magic portals on May 17, and the Senior class of 1935 glided through. Breakfast was served to the “immortals of fiction” and then a street parade by the members of story land was held on Main Street of Sheridan. At the general assembly the class will and prophecy were read and the Seniors bade farewell to S. H. S. and prepared to enter “the wide, wide world.” Junior-Senior Prom “Caravans” was the theme of the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet held May 24, 1935. The table decorations were of lavender and yellow, with silhouettes around the base of each candle-holder. The auditorium was an artistic array of blue, black and yellow. A large caravan in ideal setting was on the stage, a full moon overhanging the entire scene. Under the mellow beams of this moon, the Juniors and Seniors danced the hours away. Mixer A delightful get-together resulted at the annual Mixer held on September 14, when the Seniors were hosts to the Freshmen and new students of Sheridan High School. Prizes were awarded for the best costumes. Lunch was served at intermission. Q. E. Q. Mothers’ Day Tea One hundred and fifty guests were present at the annual Mothers’ Tea given by the Q. E. Q. on October 24, 1935. After a program and refreshments in the cafeteria, the guests were enter- Knitting was the theme of the initiation tained by the six initiates, program. F. F. A. Carnival Dance Twenty-six About one hundred and fifty couples spent a delightful evening dancing to the music of Duke Downey’s orchestra on November 15 at the annual F. F. A. Carnival Dance. Refreshments were served throughout the evening and confetti, serpentine and balloons were plentiful. Lunch was served by the P. T. A. Sophomore Supper On November 22 a supper was held in the high school cafeteria by the Sophomore A class. Each member brought a guest. The ■ ■ t ; •
