 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.

 t £ » i Gym Exhibition Tumbling, apparatus work, and two class basket ball games were the features of Gym Night, held on February 26, to raise funds to buy athletic sweaters. Both boys and girls participated in this event, which was under the direction of Miss Ruth Aldridge and Mr. W. L. Wright. Scandal Sheet of the Ocksheperida “Cupid Hits Faculty Four,” “No More Football In S. H. S.,” and other awe-inspiring headlines crowned the scandal sheet of the Ocksheperida, issued on March 11. This was the first scandal sheet for several years and “sold out” was the reply given to a number of belated inquirers.

Assisting artists were Mrs. Grant MacLeod, soprano; Mrs. Ralph Fuhrmeister, soprano; Mr. Ralph Blackledge, baritone; and Mrs. John Hutton, accompanist.

Ocksheperida The Ocksheperida (Camp Crier) is published bi-weekly. It was first published in 1908 in book form. At that time the publications were very irregular. Its ideal is to maintain a high standard of journalism and yet furnish pleasure to the members of Sheridan High School.
