Smith as toastmaster included: Welcome to the Seniors, Ethel Smith;  Response by Ula Green; Toads Snakes and Butterflies by Loren Brown; The Class Prophesy, Denise Wolford; Toast to the Faculty, Jean Elder; The Class Will, Bob Kirkpatrick and the Class Motto by Mr. Wilson.  A trio composed of Loretta Borgstadt, Madelyn and Lucille Oostendorp sang “An Old Fashioned Garden” and the High School Chorus sang “Dream Boat.”

SENIORS TO WEAR CAPS AND GOWNS

            The seniors of this year will break the precedence set by seniors of former years and wear caps and gowns for commencement.  The caps and gowns, to be rented, will be worn commencement night only, it was decided.  Of the three sample colors sent to pick from, blue was the almost unanimous choice of the class.

*  *  *  *  *

Speaker for Commencement

            Arthur G. Langholz will be the commencement speaker this year.  His topic, “The Successful Life,” is sure to prove very interesting and helpful.  Mr. Langholz is the Lutheran pastor at Preston, Iowa.  He comes to us very highly recommended and we hope that many will be able to hear his address.

KEEP  OFF  THE  GRASS

            The beauty of a school is increased or decreased by the condition of the lawn.

            During these warm spring days the ground is soft and the yard is in danger of being made very rough by the careless walking on the ground by students.  A beautiful school lawn this summer depends on the care by the students this spring.

“B”  AVERAGES

            One thing interesting to note about the “B” Average List this six weeks is that there are as many boys as girls.  Usually the girls take the lead but this time the boys are right with them.  Maybe next time they will pass them.

            For the fourth six weeks of school there were twelve students on the list or one-fourth of the school.  This time there are ten or about one-fifth of the pupils.  Somebody must be getting tired on the job.  We don’t want to let this good record to go down but to keep on increasing it.     Of course, we realize that there is a lot of activity towards the end of the year.  What with the Senior play, Junior and Senior Banquet, Baccalaureate and graduation, but that is no reason why we whould let our grades slump.

            Lt’s all work hard this last few remaining weeks and make a better mark than ever.

*  *  *  *  *

HITS  &  BITS

            Bob Kirk must have come to school one morning before he was awake.  Anyway when he walked in front of the assembly he fell over a seat that was out in plain sight, or maybe he hadn’t gone to bed yet.  Which was it, Bob?

            Bennie Mills must have the idea he’s a grown man by now.  The other night when Mr. Bruce told all the boys to wait a minute, Ben just stands up and nonchalantly walks out.  However, he found out very soon that he was still a boy and could wait with the rest of the bunch.

            We thought every one in high school would be able to sit up on a straight char now, but guess it’s our mistake as Jean E. seems unable to do so.  At operetta practice Tuesday afternoon, she just couldn’t manage to sit on the hard old chair so Denise obliging held Jean on her lap.

            According to Harley Kirk, a dynasty is one of those large prehistoric animals you read about.  Suppose a dinosaur is some kind of government they have.

            Virgil Vetter seems to be the farming exert of High School with raising corn his specialty.  When asked the other day what crows did to hurt corn that was just starting to grow.  Virgil replies, “Why they pick off the ears”  Must be a special kind of corn to grow ears so early, isn’t it Virg?”

            Afraid te high school will have to have some curtains before long if Denise tries to lower then very much.  Last Monday she started to pull down the shade and before you knew what happened the whole works came down, the rod, cord and everything.

            Harley was as absent minded as usual Wednesday that he took his English Lit book to Physics class.  Or it might be he’s so interested in English that he was just going to put extra time on it.

            A world series baseball game in miniature was played here Tuesday night during the hard rain storm.  Atalissa came down to play a baseball game so rather than postpone it, they played an indoor kittenball game.  The Atalissa boys had little trouble in sliding the bases as they played in their stocking feet. All enjoyed the game as much or more than if the regular game had of been played.

            The coconut which Joyce brought to use from Florida is ripening raidly and we are anxious to see what is inside.

Foreign Correspondence

            Louis Milder received a letter last week from his foreign friend that lives in Hammerfast, Norway.

            It was read before the English Literature class and proved to be very interesting.

            Some of the odd characteristics of the letter were he told of his schooling.  Ten years of school seven of which are grade school and three are grammar school or high school.

            He told us that nearly all the sports we played here were over there but baseball and basketball.  Skiing an ice skating are the most important sports over there.

            He was a very good letter writer and he had an excellent usage of the verb shall and will.

FEATURES

Tiny Tots Must Play

            Well, Senior Play practice has started.  Of course, eating candy, etc. and swinging when they should be inside is all a part of the seniors’ amusements.  Instead of dignified seniors they act more like freshman.  Talk about silly things, they always do the impossible.  Even down to giggling and just playing.  I wonder if they will ever grow up.  We all know our school days here at N. H. S. will soon be over.

*  *  *  *  *

Yum – Yum – Toast

            What a dreadful time they had with their toasts and not the simple bread and butter toasts either, but the after dinner speeches at the banquet.

            For weeks and weeks of so it seemed the Juniors and Seniors were trying to find material and something to talk about.  They had their topics, but they didn’t seem to help much.  They certainly had a terrible time and took suggestions from everyone.  One innocent senior girl said, “Oh, just take a piece of toast along.”  She knew better and they really weren’t so easy to prepare as that.

            At any rate the program was well done and relished by all in spite of their troubles.

*  *  *  *  *

Class Day

            After much arguing and discussion the seniors have finally decided on their class day trip.  At least some of the their plans have been arranged.    

            Des Moines is the place they have selected in  preference to the Maquoketa caves and such places around Dubuque.

            Visiting the capitol will probably be the chief interest of the class.  They are such history minded students you know.  Well anyway, lets hope they remember something about it, at least where it’s at.

How Funny These Songs Sound

            “The Girl in the Police Gazette” –is- “Too Marvelous For Words.”

            “Speaking of the Weather” – “There’s Frost On the Moon.”

            The splinter song – “I’ve Got You Under My Skin.”

            “May I Have the Next Romance with You” – “Sweet Leilani.”

            “Boo Hoo” – “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off.”
