Mrs. Wells took her domestic sci
ence classes on pleasant field triI
| last Wednesday. The girls pre-
pared the delicious luncheon at the
school building in accordance with
their usual class work. A car was
provided to take the eats to a suitable
picnic round. The other girls hiked
to the appointed place and after
resting and exploring, proceeded to
serve and eat their lunch, in true pic
mic fashion.
After playing numerous games we
cleared away the things and started
home.

Everyone at the high school is
getting ready for May Day. This
morning (Monday) Mr.. Walker, with
several of the Sophomores manual
training class, dug up the maypoles,
which had been planted on the base
ball diamond for practicing the
dance, and put them on the lawn. In
order to give the dancers plenty of
room, they placed a maypole in each
of the three sections of the lawn.

The basketball letter girls met in
Room 104 Friday night for the i'm
portant purpose of electing the Cap
tain for next year. After several nom
nations had been made, Helen Mus
grove was elected.
Helen has always put her shoulder
to the wheel, when the team needed
help either by playing outside sup
port or cheer. Though the squad
loses four Seniors this year who won
letters, If all the girls are as deter
mined for a good season as the
Captain is, they will certainly bring
home the bacon next year.
