Despite all these benefits they would have been unable to have made the trip had not members of the faculty and outside in- dividuals put on a play for their benefit. The Suicide Specia- list proved at great success and made the trip possible. Much credit is due to the Hlhlllilt-6ll1',SH for their kindness in giving the play and for the fine acting shown at the time. The Juniors have held one Bake Sale during the year and have tried to make their Work easier next year by earning some money now. They gave a play in the form of a Vande-- ville the twenty-first of May. Miss Cowles coached the play which certainly proved a great success. The fourth of June they held the annual Junior Prom. The old custom of a grand promenade was revived and proved very interesting. A large crowd was present and the dancing was greatly enjoyed.
