STEAK FRIES One hundred and fifty-one persons attended steak fries sponsored by the student council, Thursday, October 3. The boys, numbering eighty-seven, had their steak fry at the country club. The group played baseball and football and pitched horseshoes. At five o’clock two lines of hungry people attacked vehemently the two dish-pans full of steaks and an equal amount of potato salad. The girls had a steak fry at the Aqua club. While the committee broiled the steaks for seventy-eight people, there was a circle of three deep, dodge ball, and a baseball game in progress. After the main course, all the girls crossed the log which served as a bridge and gathered around a camp fire for ice cream and songs. FARMERS' FROLIC Hallowe en is farmers time. When the farmers and farmerettes arrived on the evening of October 29, they found their gym entirely transformed with corn fodder and pumpkins. Marie Fisher proved to be the best farmerette, and Professor' Burbage the best-dressed farmer. There were a number of farmers and farmerettes who squirmed decidedly while Phil Tibbetts and Harriette Robertson discussed school secrets (secrets?). The farmers amused themselves for some time with dancing, bingo, and ping pong. And then—oh, that cider and those old fashioned doughnuts! BINGO PARTY It s a strange party when a duck is the guest of honor, but that is what happened at the high school bingo party November- 21. Goo-Goo, as a prize for winning the most bingo games, went home with Evelyn Read. Before the games started eight students gave an exhibition dance of the Virginia Reel. Betty Jean Shierling, Betty Booth Fitzgerald, and Dr. R. S. Turner furnished music for the American folk dance. CHRISTMAS PARTY Christmas spirit and even Santa Claus himself pervaded the Christmas party given by the Mothers club on December 17. The gym was beautifully decorated with white streamers, large silver pennants, white candles and real Christmas trees. Marion Davis sang and tap danced and the boys octet led the group in a number of carols. An orchestra under the direction of Mr. Shierling furnished music for dancing. Santa, the grand old man of the season, conducted the gift exchange. Every package was a real surprise for it was apt to contain anything from safety pins to swords. Boyd Mangus was the benignant Santa Claus. The high school certainly owes the Mothers' club a big vote of thanks for such a lovely party. FRESHMAN INITIATION The freshmen were duly initiated January 27. In the social hour after school, each freshman had the opportunity to show his ability to pantomime. The loving cup for the best charade was awarded to the sophomore A class which represented Alone. Refreshments of cocoa and wafers followed the charades. Many students stayed to enjoy the dancing after the refreshments. VALENTINE PARTY Even the Queen of Hearts and her attendants came to the freshman-sophomore party on February 17. Her majesty was Betty Jean Shierling attended by Jane Jellison and Harriette Robertson, who were royally amused by the court jester, Wendell Riffle. Stunts, in which the I0A class carried off first prize, rook, and dancing filled the rest of the evening. A small orchestra of students provided the music. Of course no valentine party would be complete without ice cream and heart-shaped cookies. SENIOR-JUNIOR SPRING PARTY One of the outstanding social events of the entire year was the Senior-Junior Spring party which was held in the gymnasium on March 24. The gym was attractively decorated, carrying out the idea of spring. Contests, games, and dancing provided the entertainment before the supper-lunch was served. During the supper, John Jacobs, senior class president, gave the welcome to the juniors, and in turn, their president, Jean Parent, responded. Following this, a floor show entertained the guests hilariously with the capable Mary Elizabeth Barr as master of ceremonies. The junior class colors were effectively carried out with the prizes and place cards in black and white. Dancing and the singing of the school song brought the delightful evening to a close. 27

PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS PROGRAMS The public speaking class, under the able direction of Miss Ward, the instructor, presented two programs during the past year. Both the Thanksgiving program given in the high school auditorium November 26 and the Patriotic program presented March 2 are annual affairs. Though inexperienced, the students displayed excellent speaking ability. The popular approval which these programs have gained proves the value of the department. In the Thanksgiving program the class was assisted by the Union City band. Betty Booth Fitzgerald gave the introductory talk; James Dunn, a history of Thanksgiving. Mary Alice Fitzgerald sang the popular vocal solo, Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life. Eugene Bruss read the Thanksgiving Proclamations and Virginia Sowers talked on Patriotism. During the latter part of the program, a Yale Chronicle film, The Declaration of Independence, was shown. The outstanding feature of the Patriotic program was the one-act play, Crinoline and Candlelight, which depicted George Washington returning to life at a modern masquerade. The students in the play were: Betty Booth Fitzgerald, Virginia Sowers, Ann Throp, Betty Whitesel, Marcile Tritt, Earl Brooks, Mary E. Barr, William Sweeney, Harold Brotherton, Paul Caupp, Junior Loy, Richard Flory, Eugene Bruss, Marguerite Thomas, and Harry Porter. The material bought by the school was made into colonial costumes by Georgia Hines, Betty Schoenfeld, Winifred Barth, Mary Alice Boggs, and Freida Read. These costumes, which can be used only by local students appearing in school programs, can be worn for many years to come. Music was furnished by the high school orchestra, a boys' quartet, and a brass quartet, and Mary Alice Fitzgerald sang The Sweetest Story Ever Told. John Jacobs gave an introductory talk, James Dunn presented A Tribute to Lincoln, and Stuart Riffle, who also sang a solo, read Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address. Shirley Ann Schoenfeld and Patricia Kyle presented an Uncle Sam tap dance. RELIGIOUS CHAPELS The series of religious chapels, conducted by the Ministerial association in co-operation with the school, have been a source of great spiritual and intellectual value to the students of the junior and senior high schools. The ministers who spoke represented five different denominations. The music department assisted in many of the chapels. The Rev. L. G. Ludwick of the United Brethren church spoke in the first chapel on November 20. The Reverend A. C. Wischmeier of the Methodist church talked on December I I and urged the students to attend some church regularly. The Rev. C. G. McCallister, former pastor of the Christian church, talked on Christianity as the Universal Religion, on January 24. Speaking on Christianity, the Superior Religion, the Rev. Forbes Robertson of the Presbyterian church addressed the student body February 5. The Rev. Fr. Hammes, priest of the Catholic church, answered the question, Why Attend Church Services? in the chapel on March 24. The Rev. Ben Holroyd of the Christian church spoke on April 8. In the last chapel of the year on May 6, the Rev. H. A. Barth of the Lutheran church was the speaker. SPECIAL ASSEMBLIES Special assemblies have proved very interesting and vitally instructive. Included in the group of assemblies were talks on automobile accident and fire prevention, inspirational guidance, and the foreign situation. In connection with the state-wide safety program, Robert Morgan, state director of the American Automobile Association, and Carl W. Rothert, of the Ft. Wayne Motor club, addressed the upper six grades on October 10. Emmett Cox, chief of the education division of the office of the state fire marshall, spoke at a fire prevention program in the auditorium on November 7. Other officials at the meeting were Lloyd Morgan, local fire chief, and John J. O Brien, chief instructor from the state fire marshall's office. The Rev. Frank B. Pauley, postmaster at Middletown, O., presented an inspirational message in an assembly on November 5. An interesting discussion on Ethiopia was given on December 3 by Mrs. C. B. Douglas of Versailles, O. John K. Keller, a steel specialist from Purdue university, spoke April 17.
