Sumner School is not especially individual for her awards in athletics, scholarship, and oratorical ability, but she is outstanding for her awards in personality. Every year the Student Body chooses one girl and one boy from the Senior Class as possessing to the greatest degree those likeable qualities which make for a charming personality. The word, personality, is hard to explain and few of us could give adequate definition. However, we are conscious of those possessing such qualities. Perhaps it is the extra hand-shake, or the ever ready smile, or a clap on the shoulder which makes them our friend. Whatever it is, we know that after all, it is the little things that go toward making life worth while. This year Dorothy Sprouse and John Forehand were chosen to receive the Personality Award, although votes were cast for others as well. Dorothy Sprouse has taken an active part in high school activities. She took the lead in this year's operetta, Lelawala, represented the Spartans in the dramatic section of the Declamation Contest, was Girls' Basket Ball Manager, Editor of Tyee Wah Wa, this last semester, was Debate Manager, and a member of the Senior Play cast, besides an honor student. John Forehand is a prominent Spartan, being Business Manager of both the Tyee Wah Wa and the Annual. He is a three-year Debate letterman, and made the first team in Football this last year. He has also taken a prominent part in musical activities being a member of the Boys' Octette, in the Operetta Cast three years, and a member of the Glee Club. He has also taken part in both Junior and Senior plays. In former years this award has gone to the following: Lorena Huson and Spencer Purvis, '27, Joan Bailey and Harold Davis, '26, Dwight Taylor and Lucile Pyles, '25. Twenty-five

A great number of Juniors took part in activities of various sorts. They are as follows: Roger Edwards, Fred Gratzer, Lee Benton, Clyde Ward, Russell Frank, Harold Morgan, and James Spencer achieved honor in football. At the annual football banquet, Fred Gratzer was elected football captain for the next year. Jack Geiger and Clyde Ward are of basketball fame, while Marion Purvis and Phyllis Giefer played on the girls basketball team that narrowly missed the county championship. Vanessa Myers and Rex Weick had principal parts in the operetta Lelawala, while a great many other Juniors were in the chorus. Peggy Orton and Jayne Goodman took part in the tennis tournament. In the boys' band were Charles Clark, Paul McKenny, Julius Grimes, and Irvin Fowler, and in the saxophone band were Martha Somerville, Julius Grimes and Charles Clark. Marion Purvis represented Sumner in humorous declamation, taking second place in this event. Peggy Orton served as secretary of the Associated Student Body. Marion Purvis was secretary of the Girls' Club, while Genevieve Homer represented the class on the cabinet. Gladys Livesley was historian. The Class of ,29 sponsored the annual basketball dinner, which proved an en- joyable affair. Vernita Bounds was chairman of the decoration committee and Martha Somerville chairman of the dinner committee. The largest class project of the year was the Junior Prom, given April 13 in Spencer's Hall, under the guidance of Margaret Orton, general chairman. Fred Gratzer was chairman of the general committee, Vernita Bounds of the invitation committee, Ethel Storey, decorations chairman and Vanessa Myers, chairman of the refreshment committee. Featuring a Springtime motif, the committee used wisteria and fresh cherry blossoms to hide the ceiling. Twisted crepe paper and lattice-work entwined with flowers almost covered the walls. As the Juniors made a fair profit on the dance, the affair was a financial, as well as a social, success. Four Juniors cried their hands in high school journalism, working on Tyee Wah Wa. Jayne Goodman and Margaret Orton were advertising assistants the first semester, and Orville Danforth and Doris Williams were reporters. Margaret Orton was news editor, Jayne Goodman, circulation manager, and Orville Danforth, a reporter, the second semester. As associate editor of The Spartan, Margaret Orton managed the subscription campaign. Jayne Goodman had charge of the section on musical activities, while Irvin Fowler and Fred Weber were the assistant advertising managers. Judging from the achievements of the past year, the Class of '29 should prove an excellent Senior Class next year. Twenty-seven
