Seniors to Have Dance
At First Party of Year
The senior class is going to have a
dance! At a class meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 3, the seniors were given a
report by their entertainment committee. Arnold Nelson, chairman, announced that the dance, which is to be
a no-date affair, has been planned for
Saturday, Nov. 14 at 8:30.
A committee, consisting of Rachel
Lunde, chairman, Noel Jones, Florence Johnson, and Hughitt Hinderaker, was selected to provide entertainment for those persons who do not
dance. Refreshments will be taken
care of by another committee: Anna
Tonette Hegland, chairman, Earl Nelson, Verna Anderson, and Willard
Hunter.
A class picnic will be held sometime next spring. Besides having
these two functions to pay for with
dues, the class publishes a senior issue of the Periscope in the spring.
The dues have been set at one dollar.
JUNIOR CLASS SELECTS RINGS
For the purpose of appointing a
committee to select class rings, a
meeting of the Junior Class was called
in Room 18, October 26, by the president, Helen Johnson. After many
nominations, and much unnecessary
confusion, Phyllis Roster, Eleanor
Tripp, Lyle Drake, and John Scott won
the majority of the votes. A class
meeting was called on Nov. 4 and four
rings were presented to the class for
its approval. The rings were voted
upon, the chosen one being from, the
H. G. Hulberg stock.
All students interested in purchasing rings were obliged to order them
before Saturday, Nov. 7.
Let Us Give Thanks
We are thankful for the opportunity
of living and working in the present
age, the greatest age in the history of
the world. We are thankful for the
love and devotion of father and mother, for the love and respect of brothers and sisters and friends, and especially for the friends who are kind
enough to point out to us the errors
of our ways and, at the same time,
point out to us a better way. We are
thankful for all material things calculated for our benefit and for the
benefit of those about us.
We are thankful for our minds, for
schools and for all the myriad opportunities we have to develop and train
our minds. We are thankful for beauty in field and forest, in leaf or tree,
for music that soothes the tired body,
and for the music that inspires us to
better living. We are thankful for the
kindly word and the pleasant smile
that help us on our journey. For these
and all thy other blessings, we truly
thank thee, Lord.
