Although Warren was beaten by Stockton in the afternoon, the evening was never- theless a success. Students frcm Stockton. Gratiot, Scales Mound and South Wayne were welcomed into the brightly decorated gym. At the height of the evening’s gayety Donna Wolfram was crowned homecoming queen by Duane Wolfram, who substituted for James Gale, captain of the football team. The annual Junior-Senior hunt wi- : held a month later. As usual the seniors re- mained unbeaten, and as the unwritten rule states “the defeated have to throw a party for the victors. In December a meeting of the class officers was called by Mr. Austin. At this meeting it was decided that at the basketball games refreshments be sold, the re- turns from which were to go into the student fund. The class officers initiated the idea, and later on the individual class groups took their turns. Seventy-nine dollars and fifty-one cents was taken in all together. Later in the month the initiation of the freshmen was held. The upper class- men enjoyed immensely seeing th frosh come to school in their strange costumes The Fresh-Soph party in connection with this custom was held on the 3rd of March. The seniors enjoyed two trips during the term, the first of which was to Du- buque to see the screen production ol “Humlet.” This came at an opportune time, as the class was studying Shakespeare ju t then. The second trip was to Platteville, Ahere seniors heard a lecture by Jesse Stuart, the famed author. Mr. Stuart gave a very personal and entertaining talk whi.h most of the seniors took quite seriously. It made them think somewhat of Ameri;an youth’s great heritage and future. Dancing classes were started on the 2 7th of March, under the direction of vari- cus members of the faculty, assisted by the student council, the purpose of these being to prepare the students for the Jun.or and Senior prom. The Lions Club sponsored an athle:ic banquet on the 11th of April for all the lettermen and cheer leaders of the high school. The public was invited, and the bard members served. Dolph Stanley, coash at Beloit College, was guest speaker, and Mr. Austin was honored as toast master. May 11th and 12th were the dates for the Junior and Senior banquet and piom Gus Fuhrman and his. orchestra from Dubuque provided the music. The junior mothers prepared the lovely meal, and the under classmen served. Spring events climaxed by baccalaureate and commencement brought the school year to a close. .y-Trysrr.-srrsrr
