SENIORS HOLD
ANNUAL PICNIC
What’s the matter with all the
Seniors? Why such sad faces?
Well, for this reason: it is the
clay of the Senior Picnic, Thurs
day, May 21, and raining!
‘‘What’ll we do?” is the question
asked by everyone.
At a call meeting of the class
lield at little recess the seniors
decided to eat their lunch, which
the girls had already fixed, at
the Community Building, since
it^ was out of the question to go
to Holt s Lake for a picnic in
tlie steady downpour of the
morning. Then Hooray! The
. sun came out and at the Com
munity Building it was decided to
continue to their previously
chosen destination together with
the dinner left, over, which they
had for supper.
Under the admiralship of
Ezra Griffin and Red Best, one
) ship of Caesar’s fleet came near
; going over the falls at one end
; of the lake with some of the
I two admirals’ best girl friends
; on board. Some of these pas-
I sengers at the climax of the voy-
:age changed their minds about
I Ezra s and Red’s knowledge.

To M iss Gordner
Witli tlie publication of
i^ne June issue of tlie
G. H. S. News, the first
year under new manage
ment comes to a close. The
staff feels that some few
words as a tribute to its neAv
sponsor are not only ap
.propriate but quite neces
sary. We have been led and
in many cases pushed by
Miss Ida Gordner. Al
though teacher of English
with its many duties and
mucli work, IVIiss Gordner
has worked diligently, to
direct the staff in giving.the
High ScIioqI a paper
worthj^ of it. In spite of
numerous liindrance^ of
whicli there was no control,
she has never failed the staff
in any emergency. And also
to the incoming editors may
•we extend our most sincere
envy and hope that you will
be even more appreciative
of her value than we.

Physics Class Conducts
Novel Experiment
Using the high school build
ing and grounds as experimental
field, the Physics class, under the
personal directorship of Mr.
Helms, traced the speed of sound
to .04 per cent of the true rate.
A pendulum was erected on the
eastern side of the building so as
to close an electric circuit at
intervals of one second. The cur
rent rang a bell and flashed a
light simultaneously. Several
students walked away from the
light and bell trying to find the
distance which sound travels in
