It has not yet been decided where the Baccalaureate Service will take place, but the Graduation exercises are to be held in the Audi- torium, June 23. We are all looking forward to this occasion with an eagerness not untinged, however, with a feeling of regret at leaving the dear old school where we have passed so many happy days. After graduation we will all go on with our education, some in colleges and universities, and others directly in the school of life. But may we all go out into the world to live our own lives, armed with our Class Motto: BE SQUARE — Doing all the good we can. By all the means we can, In all the ways we can, At all the times we can, To all the people we can. As long as ever we can. ANN POWELL. ELLA MORGAN.

We decided to get our pins and rings immediately, that we might enjoy them the longer. Everybody agreed that this was a corking idea (maybe you think the Seniors weren ' t jealous when they saw our design !) This year a great many of the members of the Classical Club, Philomathic Society, Girls ' Club, Hi-Y., and the Mathematical Club were Juniors. So were five of the members of the debating teams — • Elma Bradford, Robert Allardyce, Elmo Wilkinson, Margaret Curtis, and Bessie Close. Five of us also were in the Oratorical Contest, and we were mighty proud when it was announced that one of our members, Russel Shep- herd, won the contest. In athletics we certainly got the shoes with Maurice Brown, Chick Kehren, Kid Roeser, Jack Ocksenkehl, and Ida Osterbeck as our representatives. Our Junior Hop, the best high school party ever given, could not be called anything but a success, even financially. We had eats, wicker furniture, colored lights, music, ' n everything. As to our Play, we chose The Lion and the Mouse, and were able to get together a record-breaking crowd. The financial returns from this were so great that we were able to give the Seniors a real banquet at the Canoe Club. Give unto others, you know. After the eating, there were speeches, dancing, and the presenting of the Horn — we got away with it too — -though not without trouble for some mem- bers of the class. We soon heard that the Seniors had cleared expenses, and that they were going to give a fine return down at Wenona Beach. With this happy event, our careers as merry Juniors ended, and we paused for a couple of months in our work and our play, to rest up for the final fray. IV. At last, after so many years of anticipation, 95 dignified Seniors presented themselves in the High School for inspection and initiation (mostly the latter). How burdened we felt with all the responsibilities of the world resting upon our shoulders! This feeling gradually wore away, and we were now able to participate, with much enthusiasm, in the exciting election of our officers. The returns were found to be: Bessie Close President Duane Chamberlain Vice-President Robert Allardyce Secretary Herbert Wettlaufer Treasurer In athletics these shining lights made us famous : Maurice Brown, Roscoe Hefron, Jack Ochsenkehl, Chick Kehren, Bishop Davis, Morgan Gile, Orville Gile, Kid Roeser, Jim Hay, Elmo Wilkinson, Ida Oster- beck, Pauline Smith, Dorothea Reichle, and Ha Marble. As before, we made up a large part of the membership in the various organizations. After Christmas, we gave a snappy party that everyone enjoyed. It consisted, not only of dancing, but also of stunts. The attendance was very select, but nevertheless, we didn ' t go in the hole. Finally, after much discussion, our Senior Play, The Man on the Box was chosen and presented at the Auditorium, May 19. This was a huge success, due to our fine cast and the excellent coaching of Mr. Rickerman. Some of the leading characters were: Olive Hymans, Margaret Curtis, Jack Ochsenkehl, Roscoe Hefron, and Morgan Gile. And now it is up to the Juniors to give us a banquet. We feel sure that they will do all in their power to bring this about, for they know how eagerly we are looking forward to emptying our treasury in their behalf — that is — for the Senior Return.
