Amateur Sleuth Solves
Mystery of Office Cat
The Office Cat, which was kidnapped from the Red and Blue office last
Thursday, has been returned and the
amateur criminologist in charge of
the case chalks up another victory
for himself.
ft all happened last Thursday, May
2 2, when Miss Dilley, returning to
school after lunch, opened the door
of the Red and Blue office and found
a small, forlorn, much frightened
kitten sitting on the office table. A
search revealed that the one-eyed
black felt mascot of the office, fam-^
iliarly known as the Office Cat had
been taken and the live kitten substituted for it. Everyone entering
the Red and Blue office was eagerly
questioned by Miss Dilley, but nothing was discovered.
Several days later, a note was
fovind in the Red and Blue mail box,
saying that R. S. C. had the cat. Mr.
Coppock, when questioned, professed
entire innocence.
Then James J. Taggert took over
the case, promising to have the cat
back in a week. True to his promise,
he walked into the Red and Blue office Tuesday morning and announced
that Ben  Temple had the  cat.
A search of room 301 revealed the
cat well hidden in one of Mr. Tem-

Sara Heestand and Bradford

Faculty Finds Fast Fun
In Feasts and Frolics
"Whee! that was the best time I've
had in years," cried Miss Leeper, as
she approached the high school last
Monday. "I felt just like a kid
again," exclaimed Tom Muir, as he
told the most exciting event of the
circus.
About two-thirds of the students
took their places under the "big top"
last Friday to see "the best show on
earth," and a good number of our
teachers were seen swilling pop and
feeding peanuts to the elephants.
It seems as though the girls went
to   see   those   charming     men     that
swung by their toes; Mary Jean and
Wilburta Johnston thought they took
' the prize.
Oscar Nelson went just for the ride
1 but he left early because he saw an
elephant   keeper  look  at   him.
The greatest disappointment of the
i circus  came  when  Arthur  Cole  just
l happened  to   see   the   "famous  armless lady" putting her arms in a cast
Will.'am Simms has been named
the winner of the Kiwanis prize for
this semester for the best essay on
some phase of the United States Constitution. Sara Heestand won the
second place and Bradford Johnson
the third.
The subject of William's winning
essay was "The Influence of Our Constitution on Other Nations." "Equality—Our Birthright," was the subject chosen by Sara, while Bradford
wrote on "The Constitution and
World Peace." All of these students are well-known members of
the senior class.
The Kiwanis Club of this city every
semester offers a one-year scholarship to the students of Alliance High
to be awarded to the person who
writes the best original essay on
some phase of the Constitution. The
English department permits the seniors to use this essay for their senior
themes.
According  to   Miss   Ross,   the   essays  turned  in  this  semester  showed   a   big   improvementt   over   those

The motorboat made by Mr. Miller's manual training classes last
year has been brought to the high
school to be reconditioned for use

Lake Milton, has stood the use very
well, according to Mr. Miller. It is
now being cleaned, painted, and
tuned up.
The initials A. H. S. have been
painted on the hull.
Two girls of the 12A class, Lucille
Kruchio and Mary Sissea, will travel in, Europe this summer.

Playful Students Enjoy
Frolic With Famed Chair
The real reason for this event has
not yet been fully determined, but
the cause of such a startling sight as
was witnessed last Thursday may be
discovered soon, and already clues
have been gathered.
It may have been the fair weather
which made the boys feel a little
balmy and playful. Maybe exams
were affecting them along with the
thought of vacation. The most favorable report is that the two individuals involved were possessed with
the idea that they were in Atlantic
City on the great board-walk. For
what else could cause Oscar Nelson
to wheel majestically Ludwig Long
down the main corridor of the upper
hall in the celebrated "Creaking
Chair" last Thursday?

Students Take Advantage
Of Making Up Back Work
"Bring your lunch and we'll have
a picnic." This was the notice written on the blackboard in Mr. Chenot's
room.
Everyone was excited! Where,
when, and who were the words heard
from every side? Then Mr. Chenot
settled the curiosity of the people by
telling them that on Friday afternoon, May 23, the students who were

floor. White lattice work and purple flowers furnished the decorations,
while the ceiling was covered with
