Tying for third were the homerooms of Coaches Iohn McGuire and Harry Darr with 13 points. Another highscoring group was Miss Bonnie Fears' with 12. While badminton, Croquet, football, soccer, softball, table tennis, and volleyball stirred up interest, basketball was high point of the stu- dents interest in the tournament. lrightl C. H. S.

Students Dance And Play The work and tension of the 1954-55 school year was lightened by numerous parties. The first social event was a dance honoring the Freshmen, given by the S.A.C. early in September. One of the big fall events was the Home- coming Dance, on November 9, arranged by the Pep Club in honor of the Football Queen and her attendants. As a climax to Cotton Blossom Week, observed later in Novem- ber, the staff sponsored a Carnival with fun for all. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Cotton Blossom Queen. In keeping with the Valentine theme, the Honor Society invited the student body to a Red Hearts Dance, the first party of 1955. To offer variety in school parties the S.A.C. sponsored an April Foo1's Costume Dance at which everything was done backwards. At this last all-school party, the girls invited the boys and George Hollowell was crowned King. VALENTINE DANCE DECORATIONS were the objective of this strange activity by Honor Society members S. Zaetsch. Miss Fears, and C. King. At left: Dancers enjoy the Valen- tine Dance. - .
