EDITOR.MARY HOOD CHAPMAN
January 8, 1937.
Last Wednesday afternoon at
3:00 o’clock the school building
rang with yells, which, emanat
ing from the gym testified to the
healthy lungs of the high school
cheering section. The enthusiasm
of Cheer-leaders Dunham and Cal
kins was apparently contageous,
and a serpentine on the gym
floor concluded the pep rally.
Next on the school social cal
endar is the Senior dance, sched
uled for January 15. Invitations
are already distributed, and nov
elty decorations, orchestra music,
specialty numbers, and refresh
ments promise a very enjoyable
affair.
The Sophomore Class states
that their ice cream sale at the
ball game Wednesday night was
very successful, and profits at
least equaled their expectations.
The Home-Making Class has
spent the week on a cooking unit,
concentrating on different ways
of preparing fresh and dried fruit
Some new projects have been
begun in the High School Man
ual Training Class, including a
writing desk, a chest of drawers,
a table lamp, and several maga
zine racks. One of the boys is
repairing a dog sled. The class
spent some time this week sharp
ening axes and knives.
Last Wednesday the Huskies
suffered a serious defeat from
the Hammons with a score of 1
to 11. However, the boys can
take it, and feeling that the past
is past, are practicing with a lot
of pep for their game with the
Commercials.
