SENIOR CLASS
Entertained,
GARDEN PARTY


nished the background for the an
nual Junior-Senior reception held
at the high school, Friday even
ing. The school gymnasium had
been decorated to represent a
springtime garden in a rose and
silver color scheme, these being
the junior class colors. Graceful
columns supported lattice work
of crepe paper canopies below the
balcony and under these pergolas,
wicker furniture had been placed
Tn the center Of the dancing floor,
a fountain played and reflected the
rose and blue tinted lights over
head.
Many of the dresses worn by the
girl dancers were of rose or grey
shades and these added to the
harmony of the scene, which was
enjoyed by a crowd of parents and
friends which completely filled the
balcony overhead.
Program Presented
Dancing in the gymnasium was
preceded by program in the au-
ditorium. The opening number was
music by the Rolling Stones, high
Z school orchestra. A filtration
dance by Pearl Vethe and Roger
Vethe was amusing and gracefully
executed Miss Eleanore Meade
gave a clever darby monologue,
and q group of eight girls prettily
attired as bees and butterflies did
a song and dance number. There
was guitar music by Lester Bon
nell and Carl Gehrlti of North
i Freedom and a one act play closed
+ the program. IAN Economical
Boomerang" the play, gave Gerald
Taborsky an opportunity to drape
himself in the clothing of his wife,
Mary Elizabeth Reinking, to the
amusement of the audience. Call
ers arriving on the scene, Diehl
Snyder and Argyle Simons, further
added to the amusement by think
ing him insane and when he chas-
ed the doctor, Ormand Capener,
all about the room, his Irish maid,
Colleen Wilcox, became so certain
of his insanity that she decided to
leave, bag and baggage. The econ.
omical boomerang swinging around
thus and striking him, Mr.. Hus-
band decides that his wife need
not attempt to do her own dress
making since she has no form"
and the act closes with his de-
nouncement of ideas of false econ
omy.
Grand March
Music for the dancing was fur
nished by Phil Wagner's orches-
ira of Madison. About one hun
dred couples took part in the
grand march which was led by the
general chairman, Robert Under
kofler, and Miss Mae Mcmahon.

TO
FIGHT DUNDEE
in N. Y. TONIGHT
by United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, May 2S.-Every
time Johnny Dundee climbs through
fthe ropes into the. ring there is
growing chorus Of Interrogation as
to whether this is the time the old
master is going to "take it. -
And some 10 or so minutes later
the veteran Scotch Wop slips back
through the ropes with his two
crowns still firmly atop his black
thatehed head and his gold crown
ed grin undimmed.
The wise boys are trying to dope
out whether it will be Luis Nincen-
TIM, the hard hitting Chilean light
weight, who fights Dundee tonight,
who will put over the knockout
which the veteran, with one exeep-
ton, has danced away from so long
Vincentini will not get Dundee S
titles even if he succeeds in stop
ping the champion, for they are not
meeting ut the title weights. But
Vincentini would start on the road
to something more than the junior
lightweight title if he could climb
over Dundee's PROSTATE form. That
is a fight with Benny Leonard and
a share of the juicy purse such o
contest would produce.

GOT INTO GAME
JUST AT RIGHT
TIME FOR EAME
His Success Starts a
Vogue for S. A.
BY HENRY H. FARRELL,
(Unitad Pre- Sports Editorl

NEW YORK, May 2S.--No boxer
in the history of the ring ever had
such a sensational rise to promin-
once or made SO much money in such
short time as did Luis Angel Firpo.
1T is probable that no boxer ever
will find conditions so suitable as
Firpo did for lis. elevation from Il
ten dollar fighter to ono worth a
half million.
Boxers with more ability than
Firpo may lack the size and color
that the Angel romance and much
more ability may never find 'tho
opportunity that Firpo found when
he just stumbled into it.
Firpo was the first South Ameri-
can fighter to become famous. Since
he became famous he started Il vogue
for South American fighters and, in
II few years, there will be no novel
ty in watching or reading about
South American fights. 1t is very
possible that Brazilian or Argentine
fighters may earn a reputation for
being cheese fighters and will be
given no opportunity iii the United
States.
Firpo happencd. 70 Spring UP. At
a time when promoters, were looking
for another million-aiM -a-half.dollar
gate, like Tex Rickard pulled with
the Dempsey Carpenter fight.
There were no great foreign fight
ers available. until Firpo showed Vi
and Rickard with more foresight
than any other promoter, grabbed
him and rushed him along into a
great fortune.
Firpo wasn't Il natural fighter
He was much like jess Willara. IL,
saw in boxing chance to make
enough money to make. him indcpen
dent for life, and when he got the
money he was ready to quit. Willard
came back and put on the gloves
after he went broke, but there is {
scant chance that Firpo ever viii
go broke. r
