As Walter Winchell's lit- tle friend lien Iiernie says, We hope you like it. lt. isour regret that space and financial limitations have prevented our recording each and every activity ot' the students of Winfield high school, hut was there ever an animal so com- plete? Our theme is The School and De- mocracy. We have included in this issue a survey of the classroom activi- ties of Winfield high school in which we have undertaken io discover the part heing' played hy our school in the developmenf of the democratic ideal.

I8 It Happened This Year When we stop to think of events that have occurred in the past. year, so many flash on the screen that wecan't stop to descrihe them all, only the outstanding ones. 'l'liat is our prohlcin in recording this year's activities. l'erhaps it was because of the W. ll. S. Girls, l'ep cluh which was organized this year, anyway the enthusiasm displayed hy the students at the haslcethall games and in the torrid society ticket sale contest was something of which tohe proud. When trigger crowds attend liaskethall gaines it will prohahly heat an Ark t'it.v-Winfield struggle. Youshould have seen the moh that packed the Stewart gym for this year's game, even il' we were the losers. After grahhing third place in the Ark Valli-y, our team einerged from the state tournament, fourth place winners. Under the haton of Karl Krueger, the Kansas t'ity l'hilharmonic orchestra in its students' matinee and hrilliant, evening performanceon March 9, brought, a wealtllof heauti ful music which had not heen heard in Winfield for many years. 'l'he appearance of Judge tleorge 'l'. Mcllermott as speaker at the annual American Legion mass meeting held in N ivein wr in oh4ervan'e of American l'l'lucat,ion week made the affair an unequaled success. llpholding' what is almost a tradition in the depart- ment, the participants in the Southwestern music contest hrought home the hat-on in grand style. 'l'he orchestras and choruses received highly superior ratings asdid manyof the solo and enseinhle entries. llnstinted efforts on the part of sponsors and mem- hers of the junior and senior cluhs made the district, tlirl lteserve conference, held in Winfield in Novcmher, an ex- perience to he long rememhered hy tlieiiott girls who attendt-d. Ample opportunity was given to W. ll. S. dramatists to display their talent in the six plays presented this year. 'l'he Alphas, I'hilos, ltie licstes and the junior high each prof vided enjoyahle entertaininent with their annual productions. The juniors were a riot in t'harley's Aunt, and thi-seniors rated a near professional performance with 'l'he l.ate tlliristopher lla-an. Of course the most. important event of the year, lo the seniors, was the class hanquet in Nlay. lt, was reported to have heen all one could have wished for in the way of food, entertainment and decorations. Such a good time was had hy the seniors with their colored hallons at. the class luncheon lVlarch 2-I, and the picnics on senior day, that one could hardly have called them dignified. 'l'hc track team must have heen chasing' the pot, of gold at the end of the iainhow, judging' hy the way they ran this spring. Spaceisrapidy diminishing and we haven't mentioned nearly all we should. Nevertheless, hitting the high spots in a year so eventful as 19555-Sit? serves as a start for recalling all the happenings which the seniors and the remaining student hody are sorry to have to file as memories. rf.
