The Eighth Grade, Sophomores, and Seniors formed the Blue', team. In the exciting race that followed, the Blue team was victorious. A profit of 8101.89 was made on the contest. Initiation A visitor to the High School during the week of September 19-23 might have Won- dered at the deep thought that puckered the brows of the Sophomores. It was getting near the time for them to initiate Grade Seven into full high school membership. Donald MacKay was master of ceremonies on the fatal 23rd of September. Traditional stunts were performed by the thirty-five quaking new students, to the great delight of the onlookers. All were ready for the sandwiches and punch and the dancing which followed. Town Meeting Dinner Girls came hurrying with their neat and stiflly starched aprons. The Seniors were buzzing in and out with cakes, pies and many other things which they had solicited from the townspeople. Yes, this was Town Meeting Day and the Seniors and their helpers were getting ready for another annual dinner at the I. O. O. F. Hall. g, Eleven-thirty came quickly. The girls rushed to and from the tables getting orders over the noise of this discussing important town affairs.
