This came off after mid-year exams and was of course a joyous one because-well, who does not know that grand and glorious feeling which comes after the last exam has been taken? The big event of the junior year was the junior reception. For this occasion the gym was very prettily decorated in Japanese effect. One feature of the evening was the japanese play, O joy Sanf, which was well presented and enjoyed by all. Wasnyt Helen Perry a cunning little wife and didn't Ben Schmidt play the part of the gallant husband well? Everyone pronounced the play a great sucess. The end of the year brought final exams, but they were optional- thanks to the smallpox scare which required that everyone be vaccinated. We were a mighty sorry bunch and declared that we'd rather take ten examinations than one vaccination. Everyone was nursing a stiff arm and yelling at anyone who came near, f'Watch out for my arm l VVe were mighty glad for more than one reason when school closed. Alas! the last year of our High School life has come. 'We find ourselves i11 that long hoped for and anticipated place, Senior section in the Assembly Room. We are both happy and sad and we feel just as we did when we were Juniors. However, the other classes look to us-the high and mighty Seniors-for guid- ance. We have but one desire-to graduate. The mid-year exams have passed with a few of our number troubled. However, they have a chance of making up the work and going on with us. At last the Senior girls have come into their own and have a basketball team. Of course we can't expect it to be a winning team because we haven't had much practice. Sorry to say we have had some fights over class colors. The fact that there were a few bloody noses and some black eyes was not the worst of it, a few of the boys are minus the round sum of ten dollars and costs. The Oratorical Contest was held March 18th in which Emma Dixon carried off first prize, Claude Hines second, and VVilson Clark third. VVe are hoping that Emma will bring back the honors when she represents us at Lafayette. Because this must go to the press, I must forecast some of the events. The big thing in the Senior year is the class play, which as you may expect, when presented by such talent, will be a huge success with a full house both evenings. Our last parties will be numerous and gay since they will be the last we shall enjoy together. Last, but not least, will be the Junior Prom, which will be a lovely occasion we know, for when it comes to parties, you'll have to Uhand itll to the Juniors. As Seniors we have spent four happy and useful years together, We owe much to the teachers who have so ably trained us and fitted us for the mastery of the problems which we shall meet in the great world of industry and business. VVe take this opportunity to give them our thanks and appreciation for what they have done for us. RUBY FRICK. 12
