The high school orchestra. Carleton
Wood, director. played several selec-
lions during the program. The or

The feature Of this class day was
the throng of pretty senior girls who
filled the streets in the vicinity of the
school. Each of these maidens had
an armful Of ANIMALS in their arms
and were selling, THE Num-Skulls
Their Book" with rapidity. They were
all dressed in white.

John Ripley, Charles Lyon, Archibald
Drier. Duane Van Horn, Miss Lola
Morrison, Miss Ruby Hoatson. Miss

This farce was full of laughable in
cidents and we'll acted. All Of the
parts were well taken and the seniors

The class prophecy was the second
number Of the program. The pro-

ser read the prophecy.
The Triumphal Procession of the
Seniors was the third number OF the
program. In this procession, Miss
Marguerite Gohlke led the class mas

sitting unconsciously with the rest Of
his class, was the object of a parody
on q late song.

Following this, the class will and
testament was read. This will was
drawn up in true legal style and was
written cleverly by the class presi-
dent, Duane Van Horn. =
The seniors then tried their hand
at vaudeville production, the pretty
girls and the handsome young men
warbling away on light songs. There
was plenty of harmony, the class
singing together well.
The class officers are Duane Van

of the sub Junior class, the dapper B.
f. A. U. x. of the sophomore class and
