The most enjoyable social event given last year was the junior- senior banquet in compliment to the graduating class of 1936. They read- ily admitted that we surprised them in the excellence of our entertainment, and that we did them, as well as ourselves, honor A kindred spirit had grown up between the two classes since our rivalry as sophomores and freshmen, and it was with downcast spirits that wo watched them depart at the commencement season and leave us behind to step into their places as leaders of the school «. And now we have come to the portal leading out into life. This last year in our high school has been one of combined study and pleasure. We have grown somewhat beyond the grind of the junior year into the larger freedom of the senior. We have had many good times in our last year. The senior play was a great success. The an- nual, which we are proud to offer as the first attempt of its kind at Wallace, is among our best achievements.

We el- ected Ernestine Hawthorne president and Hazel Simcox Secretary .
