HOME ECONOMICS
Well, our weekly visits are almost
over. Just one more 1 believe ;.
1t is hard to believe that we have
really wandered through those ire
mendous volumes called text books
isn't it? Sounds as though we
are off the subject does it not, since
the study of home economics is
comprised of personal application
and projects that require manual
labor.
In fact right now the home eco
nomic students are preparing for
two of the school years greatest
events-the Patrol Banquet and the
Prom. This year the banquet is
being eliminated from the Prom,
but refreshments will be served
later in the evening. The ninth
and tenth graders have so gracious
" consented to fulfill the latter
need. So long now, until the final

A new pupil was welcomed into

have done much to acknowledge

THIS N THAT ABOUT SENIOR
HIGH
AT last the hustle and hustle
TO get ready for the senior class
play is over. 1t was very success
full and no one is able to tell which
cast is the best. There was a very
good crowd at both performances.
The student sales amounted 20 SGT
and the sales at the door THURSDAY
amounted to SASS. The door sales
Friday night were $685..
Friday, at 200 the students were
heralded into the assembly for
some important information given
by Mr.. Kohl. One of the topics
was the Prom which will be held
in the sym Saturday, May Goth.
The question came up this year
(the same as every year, as to the
type of clothing to be worn. Mr..
Kohl answered the question by say
ing that it wasn't necessary to buy
a very expensive dress just to keep
up with the Jonses, because after
all what makes a person likeable,
Clothes or Personality? Also there
is the question of letting in an
audience to see the pretty girls and
"Beanu Brummels." Every year the
sides of the auditorium are packed
with people, and the question has
been raised, as to whether it would
be better to just have the proud
parents and relatives as an aud
fence instead of everyone. A solu-
ton to the problem was that each
Junior and Senior student going to
the prom could have as many in
vitations or admittance cards for
the friends they wanted to come.
People without an invitation would
not be admitted. The subject of
a school dance was also brought up,
but due to 30 many activities at
the present time, it did not mater
ialize.

the Alexandria team. In the high

Larson in the broad jump with 49,
