Junior-Senior Banquet

Last Saturday evening occurred
the social event of the school year.
This was the date of the Junior
Senior banquet. For many years
past. it las been the custom of the
Junior dass to entertain the Senior
class at a banquet during the last
month of school, and this year the
Juniors under the supervision of
their class advisor, Mr.. N. L. Horn,
established a reputation that will
live in the annals of Plentywood
High School for being royal enter
tainers and genial hosts. The din
ing parlors of the Catholic church
were tastefully trimmed in the
Senior class colors, the tables decor
ated with cut flowers, artistic menus
and hand painted place cards, the
whole effect being most elaborate and
yet in perfect taste. The guests of
Honor were the Senior class, the
High School faculty, Mr.. Hauge and
Mrs. Opgrande.
The main part of the festivities
consisted of a five-cOurse dinner
which was served by the Altar So
ciety. They spared no pains and
were eminently successful in making
this banquet one to be long remem-
bered.
Between the second and third
courses a short but intensely inter
esting programme was given, which
placed everyone In that happy and
satisfied state that it is said is es-
sential to complete gastronic con-
tentment.
In the interval between the third
and fourth courses different members
of the two classes and the faculty
were called upon for tOasts by Royal
Greer Junior Class President, who
acted as toast master. They each
responded in happy manner with
tOasts which were not only highly
entertaining but also expressed the
ideal school spirit of team work, CO.
operation and advancement. The
fifth course was preceded by a solo
sung by Miss Croot after which the
Senior class will was read by Elm
or Palubicki. This was followed by
an intellectual treat, an address by
Mr.. Hauge, which was much enjoyed
by all. Winona Wankel, Senior class
President, responded in behalf of her
class.
This Banquet was the most beau
tiful and impressive of this years
activities.
The Juniors give the credit for
many pleasing and general effects of
the function and general success to
Mr.. n. L. Horn, their class advisor.

land of the midnight sun, making it
a daylight trip throughout.
After passing the pole the Norge,
which started with enough fuel for
5000 miles, headed for an unexplor-
ed area estimated at 100000 square
miles, One-third as large as contin-
entail United States, and the last I'M
visited by man. Explorers of the
past believe they have found evil
dences of land in this area.
The trip from Rome to Nome,
which began April 10, was laid out
in five jumps, totaling $3.50 miles.
The first was from Rome to Pelham,
England, 1,400 miles; thence to Oslo,
Norway, 700; thence to Trotsk, near
Leningrad, 600; thence to Kings
Bay, 1,4O0; thence to Nome 2,75O
miles.
Twenty-Five men have now seen the
North pole-six in the Peary expedi-
ton, Commander Byrd and his pilot,
Floyd Bennett, and II on the Norge.
The Norge reached the pole in Is
hours from Kings Bay.
The Norge is 348 feet long. It's
best speed is 81 miles an hour. It
was built in 1923 by the state air
ship factory at Rome as the NJ for
the Italian air service.

its pOrtent-fOr not for 500 years
has such a mOmentiOus program
been initiated by labor united-if
ever before.
FOr-be the result in direct pro-
portions not very great-be they
defeated at every turn in their de-
mands, their great victory has al
ready been won. They stand united
to the last man-wOnderful Organi
cation compared with American la
Dor achievements. Let's look for a
minute at the British miners: Aver
age monthly wage so to so dollars
of our money. That wont pay rent,
buy food and clothing for an Ordi-
nary family let alone education and
other needs of youth and age. Yes,
and consider the risk! About one
in ten miners is killed or manned
for life each year, and the kind mas
tiers say: ooh there are other means
of making a living or helping out
for the family" Yes, and what do
they mean? They mean, Mr.. Man,
that the young girls of the family
can 60 into prostitution to help the
family live. That's exactly what the
British OverlOrds mean and exactly
what they force many a young and
honest girl to do to help the family
get by. Great world isn't it?-that
many honest people, and many min
listers, and all the Lords and Dukes
and so forth of England want the
men to go back at the old terms.
And American Labor in the coal
mines of Pennsylvania and other
states is no better off.
And this is the condition the
miners are striking to abbreviate
and make the wages enough to
bring up a family decentIy.
And every organized labOrer in
Britain stands loyalty behind them.
More power to themI What a glOri-
Gus record for Labor of a great ma
ton"
