We spent the first part of the evening showing what skill in games we had acquired in our wanderings. Then as the fires died down we gath- ered into a circle and heard Hitchhiker Bill Nishet play a hobo rhapsody and Hobo Patsy Jean Martin give two readings. Those famous before dinner speakers Tom Backus, Die Beste Prexy, Howard Fink, Alpha Headman. and Jack War- ren, just one of the Philos, gave im- promptu speeches on How I Became a Hobo. After those educational talks we called on Miss Grace Karr and her committee forahand ost ofsandwiches, cake and cokes. On the Hobo Honor Roll for the year. our President and Secretary have chosen the following: Lawrence Kline, Homer Cherry, Raymond Berry, Richard Rice, Melvil Hanna, Harold Kukuk, Wilber Wilson, Max Yonng, Eddie Duprez, Louis Ebert, Gene Grant, Clifford Sic- kles, Cecil Angel, Charles Jones and Maurell Bel in athleticsg Morton Green- leaf, Bill Nisbet, Patsy Jean Martin, Robert Merriam, John Yianakopulos, and Marjorie Brown for their work in the music contest 3 Robert Ora hood, Tom Myer for their forensic abilityg Jack Warren, Marciel Bolack, Milton Liv- ingston, Zella Cantrell, Marian Gariick, Leonard Brant, Maxine Foster, Cecil King and Curtis Kininmonth for their work in the playg Dorothy Nelson, Clemence Hopper, Maxine Dieterich and Dorothy Barker for always being ready to helpg and our sponsors Miss Helen Moffett, Miss Grace Karr, Miss Doris Peterson, Miss Carol Gardner, Miss Lulu Hiatt, Edward B. Stephenson, R. H. Roberts for their help. Our year was disrupted by the few weeks absence of our beloved head sponsor Miss Helen Moffett. She was forced by illness to enter the hospital and take a much nee-led rest. We really missed her leadership during that time as the music and forensic contests were just getting started. We are really proud of our head Hobo, Howard Porter,who took the throne in the middle of a crisis and headed us back toward normalcy. He was active in basketball, baseball, and tennis, and if we had track we know he'd be win- ning for us. His assistant was Clio Shirley who kept the books for us. The fires have died down, spring is here with summer right behind it so we'll separate to ride the rails-see you again next September. CA! GJ , CLMX! -, QC, 3 tj ' v - ,I , 4' I 1 I 1 x A. ' ' x Vaar Hallingfest Is Given Highest Praise Although the Vaar Hallingfest came so late in the year that we were unable to use pictures of this extraordinary event, we do want to record in printed form the appreciation of the school to the girls of the physical education de- partment and their director, Miss Doris Peterson,for their splendid work. There were many people who con- sidered the demonstration the very tops among the public enjertainrnents pro- vided by the school during the past year. Certainly few school programs in the past have drawn such a perponderance of praise as that which was so lavishly bestowed upon the Varr Hallingfest this spring. And it deserved every bit ofit. W. H. S. Future Farmers Show Good '37-'38 Record fContinued from Page 235 received second place in another di- vision of the contest. The boys meet every second Wednes- day in the month.

Forensics Groups Meet with Individual Success fContinued from Page 191 Ark Valley extemp contest at Newton. Ellsworth Sallee is another prospec- tive speaking sateilite for W.H.S. First place in theinter-society rxturp con- test was taken by Ellsworth. He won fourth in boys' division at the Ark Val- ley.

High Actors Present Tarkington's 'Seventeen' Keeping the audience in stitches throughout the entire performance the junior high play cast did an excellent job of portraying the idiosyncrasies of adolesence in Booth Tarkington's play Seventeen March 16, 17, 18 this year. William Baxter, played by Worral Clift, was a young man reaching what he thought was full maturity at the age of seventeen. When he falls in love with Lola Pratt, played by Marie Bell, a beautiful girl who is apt in the art of baby-talk and flirtation, the lack of a dress suit becomes a family crisis. Added to this decided lack of proper clothing was the additional problem of a younger sister, Jane, played by De- lores Blacket. Genesis, the negro handy man, played by Keith Blair, received his share of laughs with his witty remarks. Willy's parents, Bette Lou Rutledge and Jim McNeil, came through gallantly in the end with a dress suit and under- standing for their broken-hearted son. Other members of the cast were John- nie Watson, Ross Pettitg May Crooper, Ervin Brant: Ethel Boke, Mary Thur- berg Wallie Banks, Billy Hammg Mary Brooks, Roberta Dickinsong Fred Ben- nett, Jim Bowden, Frances Kirsted, Martha June Hudson. The play was ably directed by Miss Lucy Headrick. Speeders and Accuracy Club Organized this Year This year there was introduced into the school anew and different club, the Speeders and Accuracy club. As the club name implies it was organized for the purpose of creating speed and ac- curacy among the typing students. Qualifications for membership in the accuracy club are few, but they are not easy. 'l'he students have to have eight perfect test papers. In the Speeders club the beginners had to type 50 words a minute with a minimum of five errors, and the advanced students had to type 60 words a minute, also a minimum of five errors. The club meets once every six weeks and the membership varies. Officers of the Speeders club are president, Barbara Dunlapg vice president, Mar- ian McNabbg secretary, Nancy Jarvisg Sergeant-at-arms, Patsy Jean Martin. Officers of the Accuracy club are pre- sident, Niniach Duncang vice president, Dorthea Fulkg secretary, Richard Sav- age, Howland, affirmative: Bob Misak, Howard Fink and Bil'l Nisbet, negative. For the season Leah Highfill ranked highest consistently.
