all year, — D. H. S. — The junior high party will be held tomorrow night in the high school gym, beginning at 7:80. There will be a talent program by the class members at 8. Following the program will be a dance and plenty of refreshments. Have fun! — D. H. S. — “Howdy, Pardner,” drawls a cowpoke. “How!” says the Injun. And so on will be the conversation at the senior banquet, scheduled for May the 22nd. The theme of this annual event is “Cowboys and Indians” (as if you hadn’t already guessed). This mehns that the members of the senior class must come dressed as a cowbby or an Indian and the decorations for the gym will follow this theme. "Cowboys and Indians” should prove to be very Interesting, don’t you think? — D. H. S. — Congratulations. Shirley! Decatur high school is proud of Shirley Wass, a senior, who keeently received word that she has been awarded a state scholarship. The scholarship was awarded to Shirley for being outstanding in scholastic achievement, personal qualities, and promise for the future. She plans to go into the nursing profession. — D. H.

amusing happenings on the trip, so . . . shall we bring back some gay memories? — M. H. S. — It all started Sunday evening on the train. All was calm and still! Nearly everyone was sound asleep. Then it happened! Out of the darkness of a far corner came the ear piercing cry—FIRE! That did it! Only the soundest slepeers (we doubt that there were any) managed to stay in dreamland after this rousing cry. Everyone coined this word for the remainder of the trip, and it was used whenever some poor, exhausted soul tried to catch "forty winks”. As a tribute to all the weary seniors. Mr. Jones scheduled a fire drill early Friday morning, and the brisk morning air helped shake off a terrible siege of drowsiness. — M. H. S. — However, the train trip going and coming home did have its good points. Out of paper and shoe littered aisles, and suitcase filled corners, came the haunting strains of a harmonica and the lively sounds of a slightly off key ukulele. And good old “Rock and Roll” music, Monmouth fashion, had several members of the class dancing in the aisles. Fortunately for the rest of the passengers we had a coach all our own. — M. H. 8. — , Our very jovial and quite likable guide, a representative of the Carroll Coach Line, showed us many of the sights in and around Washington before he finally revealed his identity to us on Monday afternoon. He was Johnny Seymour, the 500 mile race driver of 1927, who probably would have won the race that year had it not been for an unfortunate crash in the latter part of {he contest. Learning these facts about the guide made us respect him even more than when we first met him. and- he received quite a few requests to pose for pictures. — M. H. S. —’' While the class was visiting a .

huge memorial to George Washington in Alexandria, Virginia, the president of the class was asked to come forward, and he was given the privilege and the honor of sitting in the chair which George had used for many years. Once more the flash bulbs (popped. — M. H. S. — Michael Edwards, a rising young comedian; Lillian Briggs, an EPIC recording star; and the Mandarins, a Chinese tumbling group; provided the entertainment for the class when they visited the Casino Royal Supper Club in downtown Washington. Hmm! Soft lights, music, and good food, too! . — M. H. 8. — The S. 8. Mount Vernon, a four deck excursion liner, took the class on a moonlight cruise of the Potomac River on the second evening of its stay in the capital city. The boat stopped for nearly an hour at Marshall Hall amusement park, and quite a few of the students braved the perils of a creaking roller coaster. On the open decks of the ship, summer breezes of 30 miles per hour, and tropical temperatures of 4CF degrees (brrr) sent everyone shivering to the enclosed decks, but it still was a lot of fun and a new experience for many of us. — M. H- S. — Shopping and swimming may soifnd like a strange combination but they were the popular forms of entertainment chosen by the class during their free hours on Wednesday afternoon. Everyone dashed madly arpund for something to bring home to Mom or to that certain someone. Several of the boys enjoyed an afternoon of swimming in an indoor* pool at an uptown hotel. Oh, how our feet hurt by then, but we were happy! — M. H 8. — Alas! And it was time to depart! But not quite. It seemed that we had four long hours to fill before our train left for home. What did we do? Well, w« worked crossword puzzles, we ate, we bought souvenirs, we ate, we played with the toys we were taking home for our small fry friends, and we ate. And we also enjoyed the antics of a combination of George Gobel and Pinky Lee. Fantastic? No! it was our lively chaperon, Paul Herderhorst! Thanks, Paul, for all the laughs. ' — M H. 8. — ’ And now it’s all over. The money is spent, the fun is over, but the memories remain! No doubt we will often recall the four days of bedlam in our lives—our senior ■ trip.

S. — During the school term which will start this fall. Monmouth will again take part in the section of the Democrat called the “School Reporter.” In preparation for thia fall, all the juniors who were planning to take fourth year English and who were interested in being the school reporter were asked to write a short theme entitled, “Why I Would Like to be the School Reporter.” These themes were judged by a committee at M.H.S. and Grace Fuhrman was chosen as the new reporter. Grace has been an active member of the band, has held various offices in this organization, and was a member of the pep club and the high school choc-
