Commencement
Mr.  Bearmore Will Conduct
Baccalaureate Services
On June 1
Dr. M. A. Krumbine, pastor of
the Community Church ol Shaker
Heights, will deliver the commencement address to the graduating seniors on Thursday, June 5.
Thfc baccalaureate service, to be
held on Sunday, June 1, in the auditorium of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, will be conducted by
Mr. C. R. Bearmore, secretary of
the Y. M C. A. Mr. Bearmore was
chosen by a committee from the senior class, headed by Curtis Henderson, and was approved by Mr. Stanton. Mr. Bearmore will have the
unique privilege of delivering his
son Kenneth's baccalaureate address.
The class, which will number approximately 128 students, is making
plans for the other senior activities.
The banciuet committee, headed by
Erma Filson, has chosen Tuesday,
May 2 7, as the date for the banquet.
The senior dance committee, headed
by Bob Graham, is also making plans
for the senior dance, to be held at
the conclusion of the commencement
exercises.

Cast Recites Experiences in Unlighted Scenes
Out went the lights! What do
gallant seniors think and do at such
times? The senior play cast revealed the dope on this dark subject
when they were interviewed concerning their feelings during one of the
scenes in the senior play when the
lights go out.
Kenneth Bearmore, the dashing
reporter, plugs his ears and wishes
the lights would go on so he can
study his lines.
Darkness frightens two members
of the cast. Frieda Hoeprich and
Howard Brown, evidently hoping to
boost the production, said that even
though they are members of the cast,
the mystifying atmosphere frightens
them and makes a peculiar feeling
travel up and down their spines.
The minds of several others travel
in an entirely different direction.
Joe Quinlan immediately reaches for
Curt    Henderson's   hand,   and   with
this support they tide through with
no  fear.
Martha Kloos very nonchalantly
confessed that she was used to being in places where the lights go
off and on, so she experienced no
exciting thrills. One would get the
same impression of Erma Rees, for
she said she had no particular feelings when the beacons were extinguished.
It is the solemn duty of Thomas
Anderson to scream and run about
during the dark scene. "Although,"
he said, "it would be sort of a calamity if I should stumble over a
chair, still, I am not particularly
frightened."
Isabel Fetters tightly closes her
eyes and plugs her ears to await the
worst; and Brad Johnson says the
darkness and suspense makes him
have rather a queer feeling, because
of the suspense which precedes the
coming events of the play.

FORMER GRADUATES
PRESENT PROGRAM
Joe  Cattarhi,    Helen  Marie  Stewart,
And Others Of Equal Renown
Will Perform
A graduate program consisting of
the   talent   of   recent   Alliance  High
School   graduates   will   be  presented j
during the chapel period on Friday,
April  18, at 8:30.
A violin quartet composed of Shirley Buck, Esther Harkins, Grace
Johnson, and Madeline Tussing will
play. They will be accompanied at
the piano by Ruth Harkins.
Vocal solos will be presented by
Helen Marie Stewart and Alma McLaughlin; Fern Miller will give a
piano solo. Joe Cattarin and Mrs.
Louise Shem Wilcoxon will also render vocal  selections.
"I will neither uphold nor condemn dancing as a form of recreation," was the statement given by
Dr. Bernard C. Clausen, when interviewed concerning his opinion of
dancing.
He continued saying that he himself did not dance. "Maybe it's because I'm a minister," he added,
"but my little ten year old daughter
does esthetic dancing. I think that
is a very beautiful way of expression."
When asked what he thought
about school dances, Dr. Clausen
said, "I think dances such as the
schools have are entirely all right.
The people who oppose these dances,
I think, are those who have been acquainted with such dancing as is carried on in public dance halls. That
type is an entirely different matter."
Dr. Clausen said that there are two
extremes to be considered. The first
one is esthetic dancing and dances
such as the schools have. "These
are for the most part just innocent

Clothes and Hair Make a
Colorful Scene In Chapel
Colors! A. H. S. looks more like
a rainbow every day. Did you ever
notice when sitting in chapel the
great number of colors and the effect
it gives?
Red seems to predominate over
the others because so many of the
boys wear red sweaters. At different
times of the year other colors come
forth. At the present time, however,
orange is excelling.
It seems that light colors are more
prominent in the spring and dark
colors in the winter.
The boys add the dark colors to
this very colorful scene and the girls
add the light, especially blondes and
the auburn girls.
Bachelor Club Startles
Town in Striped Chariot
Fads may come and fads may go.
Yo-Yo's, butchered or rimless hats,
and vari-colored caps were pushed
into the background by the appearance of some of our daring youths
all decked out in big orange colored
tarns which strongly resemble, except for color, those worn by bakers,
and are built along the general lines
of a mushroom.
Every noon these gentlemen, who
are said to be members of the Bachelors Club, may be seen rolling majestically down the street in a very

which is claimed by some to closely
resemble, because of its alternate
black and white stripes, a zebra.
Upon closer inspection, this conveyance proved to be a topless, antique
Ford, the very latest thing in collegiate  methods of navigation.
It is reported that the chief of
police, happening to see them drifting around Main street in their penitentiary-striped chariot, telegraphed
to Massillon to see if any inmates
of the  booby-hatch  had  escaped.
Claire Miller, 12A, is the only local entrant in the high school art
contest sponsored by the Student
Senate and the Sun Dial, a humorous publication of Ohio State University,   which  closed April   1.
The work of the contestants will
be divided into two groups, cartoons
and illustrations, and will be judged
by the art editor of the Sun Dial,
members of the Fine Arts Department of tho and other
prominent artists. '1 he prizes will
be individual cups for the winners
and large cups for their schools.
Claire is the art editor of the Red
and Blue annual, and is greatly interested in drawing. She has entered several drawings in the illustration contest.  I
Pet Ford Kicks Economics
Teacher Into Injured List
Oh! The grief that these Fords
cause. Another casualty has been
reported with a Ford to blame. Several days ago Mr. Stuckey in a hurry
to get to school began to crank his
Ford for all he was worth, when sud-
I denly he was almost knocked off his
feet by the "kick" which the unruly
Ford gave him.
His arm had a dull senseless feeling which soon gave way to terrible
pain. Mr. Stuckey hurried off to a
doctor and found out his arm was
badly sprained and that he would
not be able to use it except in writ-
nr  at   least tnree~We1t§r-"

Student Returns To School
Kathryn Kinsey, 10B, has returned to school after a long illness
caused by an auto wreck in November. She will be in school only
in the afternoons and will resume
her studies in history and geometry.

four more books have been turned
in to the library. The majority of
these books were given by students
in room 10 6 which rates as a 100
per cent room.

"Collector's Blues" Proves
Popular Song of Seniors
"I've got those blues, those collector's blues." This seems to be a
popular number right now, and both
the collectors and their victims sing
it. The victim may think he is the
one that gets the raw end of the
deal, but take it from a collector,
he   hasn't   seen   anything   yet.
Take the annual collector for instance. With weary feet he tramps
the long corridor to his assigned
rooms, there to question in loud

Reports of Committees
Given at Council Meeting
"The scholarship plaque for last
month was awarded to room 22 and
the attendance plaque to room 120"
was the report given by Jane Stamp,
chairman of the scholarship committee at the Student Council meeting
held last Tuesday, April 14.
The Lost and Found Committee
announced that it would take an inventory of found articles every two
weeks and print a list of these articles on the bulletin board in the
lower hall. The Fire Drill committee intends to hold a fire-drill sometime while clastes are changing.
Exit directions for the students for
this occasion win be published in the
Red and Blue at a later date.
The Corridor committee announced that unlocked locks are being removed from lockers between periods
and after school. Books being found
on top of lockers are being turned
into the Lost and Found.
The Charter committee announced
that the Bachelors Club had withdrawn its application for a charter.
Teacher's Mother Dies
Owing to theTecent illness and
death of her mother, Mrs. W. R.
Richardson was absent last Friday
and  this week.
Her mother, X|rs_  Elizabeth Weir,
who has been very  ill  Ior tne past
two    weeks.    Hje(]'   eariy    Saturday
morning.    She was 6~ >'ears ot age'
The cause of all the trouble was
a new timer which had just been installed. Mr. Stuckey, not being familiar with it, thought it was all
ready for cranking, but instead the
spark was slightly advanced, and Mr.
Stuckey received a kick which would
do  justice  to  any  large-sized  mule.
Invitations Ordered
Calling   Cards   To   Be  Purchased   In
Alliance
The commencement invitations
and calling cards of the June graduating class are to be ordered this
week, according to William Sprague,
chairman of the committee in charge.
The invitations are being ordered
from the L. G. Balfour Co. These,
says Sprague, are very conservative,
even more so than the invitations
used in previous years. They will
cost 9%c each; about 2,350 are being ordered by the class. It is expected that another order will be
placed at some future date.
The calling cards, which come in
two different sizes, will be bought at
the England Drug Co. About 1300
of these have been ordered, at a cost
of $1.75 a hundred.
Radiator and Torn Blind
Interrupt Latin Classes
Between the radiators and a torn
window blind in room 122, Miss Jane
Dilley has little peace, trying to get
Latin through the heads of the pupils  in  her  1:50  Cicero class.
It seems as though every time
someone gets up to recite, the radiator rattles so that they can't be
heard three feet away.
Then to add to this nuisance, Alma
Tierney tried to pull down one of
the shades to keep out the sun last
Thursday, and much' to her dismay
the stick broke in two pieces and
the shade started to tear. It then
flapped so violently from the draft
coming in another window, that the
cord had to be tied to the bottom
of the window. But at the slightest
breeze the shade would tear a little
farther until the class was in an
uproar of laughter.
Membership Open to Students
of 11 A, 12B, and 12A
Classes Only
A chapter of the National Honor
Society of Secondary Schools is soon
to be started in Alliance High School.
The chapter is being sponsored by
the Red and Blue.
According to Mr. Vaughan, membership in the National Honor Society is the most outstanding scholastic award which may be conferred
upon a high school student. The
society is nation wide. It has chapters in practically every state in the
union and its thousands of members
attend the best schools in the country.
The purpose of the society is to
create an enthusiasm for scholarship,
to promote leadership, to develop
character, and to stimulate a desire
to render service.
The society membership is limited
to students in the 11A, 12B, and 12A
classes. From the students scholas-
tically in the upper fourth of each
class, 15 per cent of the 12A's, 10
per cent of the 12B's, and 5 per
cent of the 11 A's are chosen in regard to their character, leadership,
and service to the school.

"My faith in the Easter Bunny
has been badly shaken because he
has disappointed me so often," declared Miss Wright, when being questioned by an inquiring reporter about
her idea of Easter. Miss Weaver is
certain he won't bring her a new
spring bonnet unless she buys it herself.
Now Tom Mowry is much more
optimistic about this little fellow and
is sure he will bring him plenty of
eggs. Tom is going to play golf
Easter afternoon and make a big
day of it.
Did you know we had two girls
in high school who aren't asking for
any new Easter togs? They are none
other than Pinky Rowland and Martha Hawk, and they actually said

Senior Equals Mr. Temple
When It Comes To Memory
These dignified seniors are up to
their tricks again. Friday afternoon
at the beginning of Miss D'illey's 1:50
algebra class the nonchalant "Curt"
Henderson calmly walked in and sat
down in Ralph Forest's seat. Ralph
came in and asked him to vacate his
seat. Thereupon "Curt" with a hurt
expression looked up and said,
"What period is this?" and upon
being told it was the 1:50 period
instead of the 2:35 he turned several different colors and dove out of
the room with the snickers of the
lowly juniors ringing in his ears.
Teacher Attends Meeting
Miss Dorsey attended the Vocational Conference for High School
Senior Girls of Southeastern Ohio,
Pennsylvania, and West Virginia in
Athens, Ohio, April 11 and 12. This
conference is sponsored by the Home
Economics Department of Ohio University with the aim of interesting
girls not only to take up home economics but to enter and go through
college.
About 330 girls attended the conference, which proved to be very interesting, the lectures being for a
girl on the different vocations possible.
