Student W y Activities The bonfire which was seen by almost everyone in town was a sign that the sport season cf Union High School was about to start. The bonfire, which was made by the Freshman and Sophomore boys was one of the biggest that the people of Union have seen for a good many years- The second big event was the dedication of the new athletic field which was the result cf the hard efforts cf several business men and the school board. Mr. King, the past superintendent of this high school, gave the presentation speech. The annual pep contest was held this year, but as yet there are no definite results. One item which went on the pep contest was the presenting of skits for pep assemblies and the results were as follows: Freshmen — First Sophomores — Second Seniors — Third Juniors — Fourth. The National Assemblies that the pupils of the schools had the pleasure of witnessing this year were of great interest to those who attended. Prof. R. B. Stringfield, a well known chemist, and Art Hook a wcrld famous sea diver, put cn a wonderful program. The animal circus trainer with his trained animals entertained both young and old. Miss Stella Edvalson, a missionary who has just recently returned from Sweden, very interestingly related her travels to the student body and visitors. On December 1, the students were greatly honored by having the Whitman College Pep Band play several selections of real pep music. Just before the Christmas vacation the student body presented a party for the students as a Christmas present The majority of the time was spent in dancing and the experienced helped those who had the misfortune of not knowing how to dance. There have been three student body dances held in the Gym this year. The dance given on Thanksgiving was a real success and everyone had a good time. The main event of the year was the May Day Dance. Queen Cherry Davis and her attendants, Aileen Irons, Eileen Hall, Georgene Harn and Helen Kjos reigned during the evening after an impressive ceremony. The decorations, in pastel shades, were very effectively displayed. On May 6, a field day was held. This was the first time a party cf this kind was held here, but will undoubtedly not be the last, as a good time was had by all who participated. -10-
