 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. Orchestra and Chorus A second treat for music patrons was given by one hundred and fifty members of the high school orchestra and chorus at the high school auditorium March 25. Assisting artists were Mrs. Grant MacLeod, soprano; Mrs. Ralph Fuhrmeister, soprano; Mr. Ralph Blackledge, baritone; and Mrs. John Hutton, accompanist. A violin solo by Jack Wehr, a solo dance by Connie Condit, and a short address, “Music in the Public Schools” by Mr. J. J. Early were other additions to this entertainment. Miss Brehmer and Mr. Becker directed. The High School P. T. A. and the Music Section of the Sheridan Woman’s Club had charge of the advertising and the ticket sale. S. P. Q. R. Open House The annual S. P. Q. R. Open House was held April 15 in the Sheridan High School Auditorium. The consuls, Winslow Taylor and Beverly Rhodes, presided. The program included an address of welcome, a talk on the benefits of the club, several musical selections and a play, “The Red Plume,” a story of Camella, the warrior queen. The cast included Shirley Beeson, Patricia Sullivan, Joan Engle, Irene Schlottsman, Fred Diener and Lloyd May. David Redle gave introductory remarks to the play. Projects of the Latin students were exhibited in the Home Economics rooms. A short play, “The Fountain of Venusia,” was presented at an assembly celebrating the Horace bimillennium. 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.

One guest number, a reading, “All American,” a football sketch, was given by Mrs. D. E. Gwinn. Miss Collier was sponsor of the supper. Q. E. Q. Top Hat Night Club A novel method of ticket selling was inaugurated on December 13, 1935, at the Q. E. Q. dance. Boys with dates were admitted for forty cents, while stags paid fifty. Hat-check booths were at the ends of the auditorium and tables decorated with top hats were arranged around the room. The high light of the decorations was a huge top hat and walking stick suspended in the middle of the stage behind the orchestra. Bruce Knight, Eileen Sopris and Jean Kettering gave specialty numbers during intermission. Freshman Mothers’ Tea Eighty mothers were entertained on December 15 by the Freshman B class under the sponsorship of Miss Augusta Eisenmann. Gifts were presented to the mothers.

Q. girls and nineteen initiates were entertained with a theater party on January 29 at the Lotus Theater. After the show the party went to the Western Coffee Shop for punch and dancing. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Early, Miss Jane Gordon, and Miss Louise Brehmer were the guests and chaperones of the party. Glee Club and Orchestra Concert The glee clubs and orchestra of Sheridan High School presented a concert in the auditorium on January 10. About one hundred and twenty-five participated in the concert. As it was near the anniversary of Stephen Foster’s birth, some of his songs were used in this varied program. Guest artists were Mr. James Blackledge and Mrs. Grant MacLeod. Junior A Cowtown Dance A real western affair, presented in rare old western manner, was the cowtown dance given by the Junior A class. The auditorium was appropriately decorated and prizes were awarded for the best costumes. Refreshments were served by the P. T. A. “S” Club Initiation Twelve heroes of the gridiron donned baby clothes on January 24 and presented themselves before a highly appreciative audience. The “babies,” after a thorough examination by Doctors Joe Kurtz and George Perry, were encouraged by Charles McCoy to present their talents. Football awards were presented after the initiation. Spanish Carnival This evening of fun, February 29, was begun with a grand parade, followed by a Spanish play, a vocal solo by Esther Albrecht, and the tango by a group of the club members. The booths were opened after the program, and chili was served. Dancing was the most popular feature of the evening. Twenty-seven
