Wednesday night. A large crowd of
friends and relatives was on hand to
enjoy the proceedings. The program
showed evidences of the fact that
great deal of time and labor had been
spent in preparation for it. Especially
were the freight scenes enjoyable and
the zest with which the class partici-
pated.
The program was opened with solo
by Laila Platou, "The Spring Has
Come" Then followed the class his
tory.
The seniors appeared on the scene
and lighted an almost realistic camp
fire and grouped themselves about it.
They then proceeded, one by one, to
recall incidents of the past four years
Of school, recalling with great delight
each event during their freshman,
sophomore and junior lives. They
lunched in true picnic fashion, while
talking. They concluded the camp
fire scene and the class history by
singing the school song, Were Loyal
to You, Valley High
Following came the class prophecy,
given by Marion Cole and Laila Bon
hus. Here was shown fireside scene,
with realistic fire place and andirons
and heatless fire. Marion Cole took
the part of herself as she would be
60 years hence. One by one she re-
called the classmates of her High
school days, relating the fate and for
tune of each in an amusing manner
After she had prophesied the destin-
les of the other members of the class,
little Laila Bonhus, representing her
granddaughter, came upon the scene
and asked her to tell a story. Where
upon the grandmother told the story
of her own life, and all was complete.
Following this scene, a sextette of
senior girls sang the Mother" song.
The presentation Of gifts which is
customary in such program then
took place.
Roy Weston, Rudolph Steidel, Ches-
ter Noyes, Amanda Wagle and Flor
ence Noltimier were the group who
had charge of the presentation. TAX
ing into consideration the present
status of affairs in Europe, the SEN
iors had cleverly set up a miniature
AZ centimeter gun through which to
shoot the gifts. Rudolf Steidel acted
as "the man behind the gun" and Roy
Weston as receiver. He performed
this duty with the aid of large
waste-basket. Amanda Wagle and
Florence Noltimier had charge of the
presenting itself and of the reading of
the poetic labels attached to each one.
Some of the presents were exceedingly
funny, particularly that which Prof.
Fitzgerald received.
After this portion of the program,
the senior president gave her final ad-
vice to the Junior class. Margaret
Mudgett, the president, appeared with
a large gilded key, which purported
to be that which would unlock the
door to wisdom and knowledge. With
a graceful speech the key was pre-
scented to the president of the junior
class, Esther Schroeder, who likewise
replied with a neat speech.
The class then presented to the
school the class picture ready to be
hung on the wall. Superintendent
Hanna received it in behalf of the
school. Everyone of the % graduates
was represented in the picture and it
will be worthy gift to hang beside
the many other class pictures in the
school.
The program was concluded by the
singing of the class song by the SEN
iors.
Since Wednesday was officially
Class Day other celebrations were
held. There are evidences of the &C.
tivities of various classes in the
bright colored bunting which hangs
on the lofty wires and poles in the
vicinity of the school.
