Spice of School Life ■f-•£ i I 1 Q. E. Q. Initiation On April 30, 1936, a lively Class Day and graduation program, all in one, took place in the auditorium. The occasion ? The Q. E. Q. initiation with eighty-seven girls in make-shift caps and gowns. In keen competition, they vied with each other in the various skits. After the five o’clock dinner at which the Q. E. Q. girls were hostesses to the initiates, prizes were awarded for sportsmanship, best costumes, and best assembly skits. The serious initiation ended this never-to-be-forgotten day. Senior Distinction Day “History Through the Ages” was the theme of the Senior Distinction Day for the January and June classes of 1936. On May 15, famous persons, both B. C. and A. D., assembled for a six o’clock breakfast in the high school cafeteria. After the breakfast they gave a colorful parade through Sheridan’s Main Street. At the general assembly the class Will and Prophecy were read. Then the Seniors bade “Farewell” to S. H. S. and prepared to enter the wide, wide world. Junior-Senior Prom The Junior-Senior Prom was held in a “Southern Garden” May 22, 1936. In keeping with the theme, the auditorium was decorated with white lattices and millions of southern flowers. An old fashioned sundial and a wishing-well added to the scene. ’Neath a deep blue sky studded with silver stars, the Juniors and Seniors danced the hours away. Special Press Edition The Sunday Edition, May 24, 1936, of the Sheridan Press was published by the Ocksheperida staff. Students were responsible for the editorial and the business policies of the paper in that edition, including typing, proof-reading, headline writing, copy-reading, reporting, make-up of paper, Associated Press stories, advertising, and all minor details. The readers of the Press got a cross-section of high school life in this paper. Senior Banquet One hundred and sixty Seniors attended the Senior Banquet May 26, 1936, held in the high school cafeteria. The theme of the program, “Spring”, was carried out in the program and the table decorations. The following responses were given to the toastmistress, Louise Bailey: “April,” Henry Burgess; Girls’ Trio, Dorothy Waten-paugh, Nadine Martin, Nelda Markert; “May Flowers,” Dayton Scheide; String Trio, Marguerite Butterfield, Ruthe Wherry, Ruth Bull; “The Love of the Trail,” Gwenavere Newell; “Future Springs,” Mr. J. J. Early; Duet, Leland Burchett, Betty Wehr. Miss Leete and Miss Rees were the sponsors of the classes. ... Mixer Freshmen and all newly enrolled members of the Sheridan High School were guests of the seniors at the Freshman-Senior Mixer, an all high school party at Central Gym, September 25. A prize was awarded to a member of each class for the best costume. The Freshmen assumed the role of babies; the Sophomores, tramps; the Juniors, storybook characters; and the Seniors, pre-war personalities. Noon Committee Overcrowded halls during the noon hours was a problem for a committee of sixteen Juniors and Seniors chosen by their classmates. With the advice of Mr. Skinner, the committee provided dancing in the auditorium to the recordings of favorite swing bands two days a week, and movies the other three days. Twenty-six
