Many people were guests of the
members of the Junior class at the
annual Prom held Friday, May 10,
in the auditorium. In keeping with
the theme, "In A Winter Wonder
land" the hall was beautifully deco
rated In blue and silver. White snow
drifts were topped with blue sky
which melted into huge snowballs
represented by shaded lights. Snow-
flakes hung from streamers that hid
the ceiling. Small fir trees were
tucked away in shadowy corners to
add effect to the scene.
Punch was served to the guests at
an attractive counter.
Miss Margaret Elliott, who is class
adviser, directed the committees in
arranging for the Prom.
The orchestra known as Branstet
ters, furnished the music.
Semester tests will be given on
Monday and Tuesday of next
week. High school students who are
exempt will not be required to at
tend school these two days.
Students will not be required to be

ity to complete their reports.
George L. Baker, former Mayor of
Portland and now manager of the
Oregon Manufacturers Association,
paid a visit to Hermiston last Satur
day in the interest of the National
Housing Show which will be held
in Portland, May 25 to June 2.
“A committee of 100, headed by
Aaron M. Frank, are doing a real
job of putting on this housing show
for the Federal Houclng Administra
tion," said his honor. “We have the
word of the directors from Washing
ton. D. C., thaat the Portland show
will be the largest and most compre
hensive of the 287 they have pre
sented to date. The committee has
taken over the public auditorium
and the four blocks adjacent for an
exposition center. In this space will
be offered the greatest show Port
land has ever produced. From the
Chicago Exposition of Progress they
have signed the most spectacular and
mystifying phenomenal of the elec
trical age—the "House of Magic”.
Ie drew capacity crowds for two
years in Chicago and thousands of
people were unable to see it.
"Tommy Luke and his entertain
ment committee will have the best
of stage and screen stars on hand to
attract thousands, and the Governor
of this state has asked him to select
a “Miss Oregon” to represent the
state at the Fan Diego Exposition.
Here’s opportunity for some of the
beauties of Hermiston to hold a con
test and send their own representa
tive to Portland to compete for this
distinguished honor.
"The exhibits in the exposition
center will be of unusual education
al value as every means of building
will be represented. The model
house is going to be a modest dwel
ling typical of Oregon. In that, I
mean it will be built entirely of Ore
gon products, inside and out. It is
also an innovation in style of archi
tecture and is already attracting the
architectural genius of the country.
"It is my pleasure to invite Her
miston, all of its citizens to the Na
tional Housing Show, Portland, Ore
