'Twenty HARDSCRABBLE WE CONQUER We came back in the fall, monarchs of all we surveyed. We were now upperclassmen. As officers we elected Richard Dorsey, president, Bruce Jones, vice-president, Stanley Oakman, secretary, Helen Light- holder, treasurer, and Mr. Koenig, adviser. They served us admirably through the trying days of the Junior Carnival, our annual party, and lastly, the Prom. The Women's Club Hall was the scene of our annual dance held during the Christmas holidays. Christmas decorations invested the scene with the proper atmosphere. CARNIVAL-Our class sponsored a Carnival to which the whole school was given over. A Hungarian Cabaret with a fioor show, a Water Carnival, a Fun House, the Hot Dog Minstrels, the South Sea Islanders, a Comic Strip, the House of Terror, a snake charmer, a magician, various freaks, and side shows were the attractions offered. Throughout the corridors barkers shouted, urging the crowds to attend the side shows, while a German Band furnished more noise than music. The Carnival was held on April 17 and 18, and our efforts were well repaid in the form of great crowds that turned out to see this novel idea. PROM- On May 22, the climax of the year arrived in the form of the Prom. Our guests, the Seniors, were ushered through the gym doors into an undersea palace, where music for the dancing was furnished by Artie Collin's orchestra. Misty blue and green lights threw an opalescent glow over seaweed, rocks, sea shells, sunken ships, treasure chests, and grotesque monsters of the deep. All in all, we were well satisfied with the effect produced. WE REIGN Our return as Seniors was of great importance to us as it marked the beginning of the end. We chose as officers for this year, the following people: Helen Lightholder, president, Richard Dorsey, vice-president, Arlain Vance, secretary, Dorothy Donahie, treasurer, and Mrs. Dale adviser. ATHLETICS-This year, the members of our class who had been prominent in athletics all through high school days reached the peak of their success. They placed on basketball, football, baseball, track, and swimming teams. SOCIAL ACTIVITIES-As Seniors, we were accorded the honor of holding the first dance of the year. It was held on December 22 in the gym. Lights from decorated Christmas trees shone with brilliance upon the dancers and Zeke Price's orchestra furnished music in their usual gay manner. This was followed by the Hardscrabble dance on February 5, held to obtain funds for the publication of the annual. This was a hard times party with newspaper used for decorations and confetti. Expenses were thus reduced to a minimum and the returns were the first contribution to the Hardscrabble fund. Again the music was furnished by Zeke Price. On May 20, we were entertained by the Juniors who put forth every effort to make our last Prom a memorable one. ACHIEVEMENTS-Among the number of our achievements we count: the Hardscrabble, which was published under difficulties unencountered by previous classes, a splendid senior play, which displayed a surprising amount of dramatic talent, and lastly, commencement at which we received our coveted diplomas, this, we all agreed, was the supreme achievement.
