w'ho hit a triple.
The next game is with the Duration League’s

Every year we have a morning in commence­
ment week called "Jolly-up.” We assemble in the
auditorium and the surprises begin. Jolly-up this
year is April 27.
The school band, under direction of Mr. H.
Kunkel, will play for us. There will be singing:
the yell queens will lead us in school yells. Some
native Indian dances by “Chief Shawaway” and
his gang will add color to the occasion.
Then come the awardi! All sit on the edge of
the seats to see who are the honored ones: aca­
demic, vocations, dormitories, and athletics. We
are sorry not to print the winning names, but as
we go to press the “Jolly-up” is still in the future.
