CANTEEN Coolcle puts a nickel in the iuke box while onlookers gaze in amazement. The music is soft or fast — according fo who put the nickel in. The bar at the canteen is always busily supplying stu- dents with soft drinks, candy, and pop-corn — the checker boards are in constant use — as are the ping-pong tables in the basement — the dance floor is crowded with the high school gang. You can find all this and more, too — at the Trojan Trading Post — the local canteen located at the Y. M. C. A. Yes, Mr. Haydn, this is our hang-out — the place to congre- gate after school — the spot to meet the gang — listen to music from the juke box — study a little and have a good time in gen- eral. Early in 1943 the townspeople began to realize that their kids needed a place to knock around in — a place where they needn ' t worry about breaking bric-a-brac, scratching up the floor, or ruining the rug by dancing or spilling cokes on it. With a little remodeling a portion of the main floor of the Y proved to be the perfect spot. The students have proved that, with the assistance of Mr. C. A. Wittenbraker and Mr. Maurice Parsons, the canteen is a great success. Deventng in one silly moments! of he It ' s the regular hang-out of the high school crowd — after ball games — club meetings — a place to meet before and after the show. You can catch up on your latest math assignment — or just listen to the latest gossip. Some towns have yet to get their canteen. We ' re certainly very proud and happy to have ours — and do we use it? Well — the chairs and tables are usually crowded with people — and there are even kids sitting on the radiators and leaning on the juke box. Come back again, Mr. Haydn, and see how our gang thrives at the canteen. You can always find someone there. It ' s the one place you ' re bound to meet all of your old friends, and get to know some of the other kids much better. Peg and Jamie, Mart and Mac. Cookie and Margie, and others trip the light fantastic.

DANCES Confetti . . . serpentine ... a little baby New Year (2 in fact) . . . Father Time . . . huge champagne glasses witli large vari-colored bubbles (on the wall — of course) . . . hundreds of little pink elephants along with mistletoe composed the gay and festive atmosphere of the Ho!iday Dance . . . everyone turned out — dressed in his best. What do all N. H. S. students look forward to? You guessed it, Mr. Haydn, it ' s the dances! I After every honne basketball game some club sponsors a mixer to which everyone is invited, including those from the visiting school. Usually a school band or orchestra plays and everyone has a super time. It ' s the place to see all the gang — get to dance with the cute little brunette you ' ve seen in the halls — or talk to that super letterman who made the winning basket. Some club dances are annual affairs. The SunShine Snow Ball is always a winter wonderland with enough Christmas trees around to remind you of a forest. This year Santa Claus crowned Peggy Ram- sey as Snow Queen. Another event we look forward to is the Phoenix staff dance after the sectional tourney. This year they called it the Tourney Trample. In the fall we ' re all a-flutter about the annual Harvest Hop, the dance put on by the Hi-Y. Virginia Wright was crowned queen this year, and she and her date, Bud Klotsch, led the grand march. During the Christmas vacation the Hi-Y and Fi Del hold their Holiday Dance, a very festive occasion. This time the baby New Year was even present. We must have won the game that this mixer followed ' cause look at the big, happy crowd ... it must be a fast number because iust a few are dancing. Every girl has her chance in February. Some schools have a Sadie Hawkins day — but the Fi Del has the Hearts Hop. Every girl asks her dream man to go dancing, and everyone has his best foot forward. This year Betty Lindley and John Whalen were crowned Queen and King of Hearts and they led the grand march. Teeny Swain ' s music was really something to dream about. And that gym — with streamers making an aisle to walk through — hearts and cupids all over — tables around the floor — it certainly didn ' t look like our little old gym. The Harvest Hop . . . everyone has on his best bib and tucker . . . the music was mellow . . . everyone had a simply wonderful time . . . we ' ll always remem- ber the first gala dance of the year . . . some of the freshmen had their first c ' ;ance to go to a big dance. The juniors had their day, too. Yes, Mr. Haydn, they enter- tained the seniors at the Junior Prom, one of the most lavish affairs given during the school year. Prom always has superb entertainment, wonderful costumes — and an air of gaiety always seems to be around when the juniors say farewell, getting ready to fill the saddles of the mighty seniors. And then — there ' s the long, long-awaited occasion, filled with tears and laughter — something to be long remembered — The Commencement Dance, our Commencement, the last time we get to dance in our gym while we ' re still in high school. Oh, yes, Mr. Haydn, we consider all of our dances a very, very vital part of our school activities. We ' ll remember them long after we lay away our childish dreams, and take our rightful place in these times of a changing world.
