dished out by Misses Cruise and Hoffman.

SENIOR NOTES
The seniors are becoming very active. Already we
have put over a very sucessful play and a Hallowee’n
dance.
The senior staff has held meetings during
the past few days for the purpose of planning for the
senior carnival, and have decided upon putting on a
carnival that will be out of the ordinary.
SENIOR PLAY
On October 27, the senior class presented a play en
titled “A Bunch of Fun.” There was a large crowd
and from the applause we trust they enjoyed “The
Bunch.”
Louis Orr made such a good doctor and Hazel Strom
a good maid that we wonder if they won’t change
their professions.
Laura Walters certainly displayed
fine dramatic abilities.
We wish to thank Mrs. Melovidoff, Mr. Kunkle and
Mr. Turner for helping us in presenting it, and also
Mr. Hall for helping us in furnishing the music as
part of the entertainment.
After the play the cast enjoyed refreshments served
at the practice house.
The proceeds of the play
amounted to $49.50 for the benefit of the annual.
BEAUTY PARLOR

We left for Portland at seven in the morning and on

Fred Rickard came after

with us.
On our return trip Miss Bedard brought her Spanish
Guitar and we all sang songs accompanied by Edna

tests but in the meanwhile we are hoping for the best.
