HIGH SCHOOL PLAQUE
AWARDED J. MONTGOMERY

The last high school party of thu
season, which was given Friday eve.
ming, April 2e, by the student body, ir
honor of the graduating seniors, was
unanimously voted the most sue
cessful of the year. A combination oi
pink and green shades was maintained
IN the decorations, which effectively
disguised the high, barren proportions
of the gymnasium. The walls were fes-
tooned with willow branches, from
the floor to the low ceiling of twisted
crepe paper. The punch table and the
orchestra were situated at either ends
of the room beneath canopies of pink
and green streamers.l Huge baskets of
apple blossoms divided the chairs
placed for the guests and patrons
from the dance floor, The hall was at
tractively lighted by low-swung rose
and green chandeliers.
During the interinissions of the
dance, each class gave stunt: The
Freshmen presented skit why We
Never Marry" The Sophomores gave
an original version Of the last days Of
school some twenty years ago. Eleanor
Allen as the teacher and Robert Rem
linger as the visiting director, brought
down many laughs from the audience.
The Junior Class gave stunt called
can Up-to-date Fliyver Ride" Altho
many flivvers are fnirth provoking,
probably none have called forth SO
many soul satisfying peals of laugh
ter as did this human Junior Ford.
The Seniors Class exhibited a Spipo-
Accelerator for the first time in
White Bluffs. The personal resemb-
lance of the figures, shown particu-
larly when they attained such extra
ordinary speed and motion, was
appreciated by the audience.
After the program, Elizabeth Angle,
Ecna Johnson and Robert Nitzche
were presented with their debate let
tiers. The letters are blocked on
a two-inch gold shield which is edged
with black. Edna Johnson, ;Bernice
Welch, Mrs. Martha Jackson, Sadie
Angle, Madeline Ferguson and Violet
Swanson were presented with basket
ball letters. Minor Slingsby, Jay
Montgomery, Carl Wagner, Robert
Remlinger, Russell Blair, and Donald
Heath were awarded basketball letters.
The basketball letters are similar to
the debate letters in design but are
four inches high. AS fitting climax
to the presentation Of letters, the ath-
letic plaque was awarded to Jay
Montgomery as the boy who, in the
Judgment of the coach, had done the
most to promote the interests of the
team thru self sacrifice and hearty
cooperation.

ley, Mr. Walter Mylsol, Mr.. Archie
