Senior Notes.
The Senior English class is giving a
series of lectures. We have just
finished studying Hamlet and our lee
lures are on topics concerning Hamlet,
such as "Hamlet's duty" Hamlet as
a child etc etc.-To say we find them
interesting is putting it mildly.
We Seniors have been looking for
ward eagerly to the arrival of our rings
and pins for several weeks, and at last
they're here. We are very we'll pleased
indeed. Some of the Seniors preferred
rings and some ordered pins. Both
are beautiful.
The first number of the lecture course
was given Friday night. Allwho heard
it could scarcely have been other than
delighted. The next number will be
Tuesday night.
The big event in the last three
weeks of the lives of the Seniors was
the Senior Halloween party at the home
of Ethel Coonrod last Saturday. The
house was beautifully decorated IN. au-
tumn leaves, witches and cats cut from
black paper, jack 0-lanterns, and black
and yellow crepe paper hangings. AS
the guests arrived they were met in
the darkened hall by clammy handed
ghost who solemnly shook hands and
pointed up the stairway here they
went to remove their wraps. Many in
teresting games were played. Perhaps
the most appropriate was the 'stunt"
game. The party was divided into
groups of six; each group being requir-
ed to do stunt. Mr. Coonrod and Miss
Snider held private interview with
witch, and later initiated US into the
mysteries Of underwriting. During the
course of the evening some other kind
ly disposed (?) witch drove up in run
about and dropped some little kitty
cats in the hall. 1t was certainly an
original Halloween prank.
A progressive luncheon of typical
Halloween refreshments were served,
after which more games were played.
Finally when the hands of the clock
pointed to ghost hour, we departed,
each declaring the evening to be one of
the most enjoyable in our experience.
We were indeed delighted when we
learned Miss CRUDE would be with US.
We knew Miss CRUDE thought great
deal of US, but We didn't think about
her coming all the way from Nevada to
attend our first Senior party.
The members Of the Observation class |
are planning to make an observation
Tuesday. 1t will be our first trip, and
we are looking forward to it with a |
great deal of enthusiasm.
Friday, teachers from all over the
county visited the High School. We
were very glad to have them come and
hope it will not be their last visit.
Sophmore Notes.
The agriculture classes took an ex-
citing trip to the country last week.
We all gathered at the school house
about $3.50 on Wednesday evening with
bags over our shoulders and departed
for mile and q quarter walk out to
Mr.. Rays farm west of town. When
we arrived there we were assigned to
. corn field about half Of a mile farth-
or on, where each of US was to take
four rows thru the field and select seed
corn We hope to test this corn in the
spring to see il it will grow
The Sophmores should not have been in
the least embarrassed in their classes
