JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION.
On Saturday evening. May 12, the
juniors entertained the seniors with
a reception at the school building.
Inunediately upon entering, the
guests found the tally cards suspend
ed on string^ from the ceiling and
each one was told to find his or her
card. In the main hall, too, was the
punch bowl with Mesdames. Eckard
and Bennett presiding during the
entire evening.
'Sfifben the first bell rang, every
one assembled in the auditorium and
as Miss Lyon called the class rolls,
each member of the junior and senior
classes introduced his or her guest.
There were eight proms, each
lasting eight minutes. When the bell
for the end of the last prom rang,
everyone was invited upstairs to the
agriculture room which was used as
a banquet hall. It was converted
into a kind of fairy land by decora
tions i n the colors of both the jun
ior and senior classes—blue, gold
and white. Vases of yellow and
white roses, the class flowers, were
used on the two long tables. There
was a single place card for each
couple. Yellow paper napkins were
used. White block cream with a pink
“28” in it was served with cake and
mints of the same colors. Mesdames.
Ryan and Bussey looked after the
cutting of the cream, etc, and the
ninth grade girls served as wait
resses.
During the evening the following
toasts were given:
Watcs Keller, president of the
junidr class, welcomed the guests
with these words:
“Greetings and a most hearty wel
come to you all! Especially do we
greet our honored guests, the seniors
of 28. We are glad to have you here
tonight though the event prompts
the memory that your happy days
with us are numbered. We shall
miss you greatly because each and
everyone of you have been an exam
ple, a guiding light which we have
striven to follow. We know Wash
ington will miss you from her fav
ored number but that the world will
be greater and better when you shall
have begun your pilgrimage along
her highways. May ycu as you pass
each milestone leave something that
will make someone happier and bet
ter as you have done during your
short stay with us.
We, the seniors of 29, are going to
work harder and more conscientious
ly ttf carry onward and upward the
standard which you have set before
us and pray God that We may not let
it fall. So here’s to you, seniors,
may a boundless success be yours,
and may we say to you all again,
welcome!”
To this Helen Harvley, president
of the senior class respdnded:
“Juniors, it is you who have made
this pleasant occasion possible and
it is to you we extend our hearty
thanks and appreciation. Though the
occasion brings the thoughts that
our sojourn with you along the high
way in search of knowledge is rap
idly coming to a close we feel that
we love you more and are closer to
you than ever before. We know that
you will carry the standard higher
and better than we have, though we
have tried to do our best.
Juniors, now the seniors of 29, in
behalf of the parting class, I thank
you and bid you Bon voyage i n yout
last long search of that boundless
and never ending gift called knowl
edge.”
Addie Lee Cartledge gave the fol
ic wing toast to the school:
“School! what a thrill of joy, what
a chill of fear that word carries with
it. There are times in the life of
every' student whe n he feels that
school is the most dreadful term ir
his whole vocabulary—times when
he feels that even ditching would be
a more desirable occupation than go
ing to school; times when he would
give half his kingdom to cast his
detested school books into the flames
and turn his back forever upon all
that smacks Cf study.
But this mood, we are proud to
say, does not prevail so generally as
does the opposite mood—the feeling
of love and gratitude for all that per
tains to schck)! life. To get the full
significance of this latter attitude
we must fully understand the mean
ing of the word “school.”
The greatest aim of our school is
to develop the highest possible moral
character i n the youth of today. It
is a training school that teaches us
to be clean in thought, word and
deed; that teaches us to be able to
judge right from wrong and to stand
firmly for the right; that teaches us
how to get the biggest kick out cf
living because it teaches us how to
work willingly and efficiently and
how to spend our leisure hours in
wholesome recreation. In short, a
real schocfl develops us physically,
spiritually and morally as well as
mentally and Washington High
is a real school. Within its doors and
on its campus we have experienced
many triumphs and perhaps a few
knocks that individually we felt were
disasters. But here we have lived
and here we have learned; and now
we, especially those of us who are
soon to> bid” farewell to Washington,
realize that we owe much to our
school and to those who have made
it possible. And so, dear old Wash
ington, to thee we give praise, hon
or and glory and pledge our undying
love and loyalty. May you continue
to grow and to mold the plastic clay
of young minds into Christian char
acters whose influence will be a liv
ing monument to Washington Con
solidated High School.”
Ethel McDaniel toasted the faculty
with these words:
“It isn’t often that we pupils feel
free to tell the faculty just what we
think of them—just hdw much or
how little we appreciate their effort"
to make us work. But this is one of
thosfc few times and I have the priv
ilege to speak for all those prese. t
Yes, we want to toast our faculty.
Sometimes we feel as though we
would l.ke to “toast” em and “roast”
em in an oven over a good hot fire
until they’re parched godd and
brown. But we are not always in this
mood and in our saner moments we
sec life from the right angle and
then we see our faculty from a dif
ferent light. We recognize our
teachers as friends who know what
is best for us and who are always
trying to lead us away from that in
tellectual darkness in which ignor
ance is bliss.
And s 0 dear teachers, here’s to
you! May we forget the bitter
thoughts that we had when you gave
us “D’s” instead of “A’s” and may
we somehow prove that deep down in
our hearts we love you and sincerely
appreciate your efforts in our behalf.
May we live lives that are worthy
testimonies of your character and
your teaching.”
Mr. Mayer responded to this in
his own individual manner closing
with an Original poem expressing his
devotion to Washington High.
During the entire evening there
was music on the piano and on the

At the close of the evening the
juniors sang their farewell song
to the tune of “Love’s Old Sweet
Song,” and the words were:
“High School Days are soon beyond
recall,
And on your path the shadows swift
ly fall;
Out of our dreams that rise in
mystic throng
Sad in our hearts we weave a fare
well song.
Though the time has come when our
pathways part,
Even will hold your memory in our
heart
Chorus
Here’s a song, dear seniors,
As we say goodbye,
And our hearts grow sadder
As the time draws nigh;
As the years roll onward
V. d ycu reach your aim,
Don’t forget, dear seniors,
Our love’s the same,
Our love’s still the same.”
In response the seniors sang tc
the tune of “The Sweetest Story
Ever Told”:
“Tell us you’ll remember,
Tell us softly that you love us yet.
As we, sco n to leave you
Promise you we won’t forget,
Juniors, we will cherish
This mystic magic memory in our
heart;
Juniors, we’ll love you always,
Though soon the time must come
When we must part.”

Tableau Scene _ A Bachelor’s Dream
The Music Pupils
Miss Bobo and her piano students
are to be congratulated upon the
success with which they gave the
above program last Friday evening.
The skill in interpretation of selec
tions and the mastery of technique
shown by each pupil was clearly the
result of careful training and pat
ient practice. Even the tiny tots had
the appearance of “budding musi
cians.” Most of these pupils have
studied piano only one session, or
less, and none longer than two ses
sions.
The tableau scene was wry pretty.
Just before the curtain was drawn,
the music pupils sang “Love’s Old
Sweet Song”. Miss Robinson ap
peared dn the stage first and recited

Are you through as.a
manufacturer- or,were
you fully protected?
WHEN fire sweeps
through a factory
destroying material, equip
ment and buildings, there is
always that all-important
question, “was it fully insur
ed?” No insurance or partial
insurance may mean that the
owner’s career as a manufac
turer is finished.
With this agency to plan
with you to examine your
property and cover your
fire risk with the sound
protection sold by the
Hartford Fire Insurance
Company you will have
ample finances to con
tinue business.
