..f'X' f-'Ne Glee Qlub Qlrristmas fPa'rty H RISTMAS brought much excitement to our Glee Club. We drew names with intention of buying a rather unusual gift for the person whose name we selected. The evening on which we had our party, we met at the High School, and then went carolling to the hospital and many other places where there were sick people. We returned at nine oyclock and having already placed our numerous presents, under the pretty Christmas tree in the gym, enjoyed opening them. Perhaps this occasion would have been better suited for an April Fool party as we were fooled decid- cdly. This event made the party more cheerful, and we enjoyed the rest of the evening by dancing, At the close of the party a delicious lunch was served by a few of our members. K. T. St. fPat'riclfs Dinner for Faculty HE members of the High School Faculty and the Department were very pleasantly entertained at a dinner party given by the Freshman Cooking Class on March 17, 1927. A green and white color scheme with green and white crepe paper streamers, green crepe paper table covers, nut cups, glass candle sticks, even to place cards upon which each faculty member found a tiny shamrock and a characteristic saying, seemed to transform the sewing tables from common attire to that of a festive occasion. The menu was as follows: MENU Green River Fruit Cocktail Creamed Shrimp-Baked Potatoes in Half Shell Boston Brown Bread Perfection Salad Nesselrode Pudding-Green Cakes Coffee This is only one of the many interesting dinners, luncheons and breakfasts which the Domestic Science girls have given this year and they and their teacher, Miss Cooley, deserve much credit for the success of these occasions. , -55- l

f Nr .I .... 1.- Society HE social events of the Year are sometimes the only events which live in the memory of a few high school students. Never was this thought so clearly brought home to students of Tomahawk High School as this year when they found it necessary to decrease the number of social events during the year. The Thanksgiving Dance, the Carnival, and the Hallowe'en Party carried on the tradition started by former classes. Dances following the basket-ball games were the ones to be slighted. A dance was given by the Juniors after both the Merrill and Tripoli games. It was evident the social functions appeared to be the main thought of some students, so to make the support of other organizations equal to that support given class dances, a greater interval of time was set between dance dates. Autumn Dance An autumn evening, branches with many gayly colored leaves, dim lights,-and again the Juniors gave their friends a chance to enjoy an evening of dancing in the gymnasium. Chippy Robarge at the drums, Gordon Koch at the piano, and Carl Reimer at the banjo, furnished the peppy music. Thanksgiving Dance The F1-osh started the dance season with their Thanksgiving Dance. The Fresh- men surely can be praised for the success of their dance. Much thought and cleverness was used when planning the clever decorations. The color scheme was carried out in yellow and brown. The ceiling was draped with stream- ers of the two colors. Enormous turkeys stalked around the gym on the decorated crepe paper, while in one corner of the gym was a huge scarecrow standing in a life-like manner. The music was furnished by Hough's orchestra. Everyone enjoyed themselves to the greatest extent. Though the general saying is that the Frosh are green , they certainly showed their talent at this Thanksgiving dance. Hallowe'en Masquerade On the 29th of October the Sophomores held a Hallowe'en Masquerade. The gym- nasium was festooned with a tinted black and orange lattice and black cats strutting around the balcony with their tails high in the air. Flaring orange pumpkin lights threw their rosy tint onto the whirling costumed figures below. Dancers were eagerly patronizing the gayly decorated booths to purchase spark- ling ades and crumbly candies. To the lively strains of On Wisconsin the couples quickly fell into line for the Grand March. Here come the judges! Hurrah, the 'Bell Hops' got first! Ray! Virginia got second. Voices quieted and the lightsgrew dim as Home Sweet Home was soft- ly played. Sophomore Carnival On February eighteenth the Sophomore Class celebrated at its annual Carnival. A group of side showsg The Hawaiian Singers, Types the World Over, The Movies, Black Bottom, Pal of My Cradle Days, Dungeon of Horrors, and A Night in Tomahawk, enter- tained the large, jolly crowd during the early part of the evening. From nine until twelve o'clock the orchestra played a fine selection of waltzes and fox trots which kept the dancers happy. Inviting refreshments along the side lines caused many a dancer to pause for a moment. The Sophomores were very proud to have managed a carnival which was such a highly successful affair. .-54...

WX fin junior Prom HE Junior Promenade given in honor of the Class of 1927, was held in the High School Gym on May 6. This is the second year that the Prom has been held in the High School, and this year it has been limited to a strictly Junior-Senior party with an attempt to make the Prom practically a school affair. The plan or color scheme for this years' Prom was yellow and orchid with the daffodil as flower. The center of the ceiling was one great daffodil of about 10 ft. in diameter with streamers of yellow, orchid and white extending to the balcony rail. The balcony lights were concealed in the center of large daffodils which, with a green lattice formed the background for small beds of daffodils. The Promenade was lead by Kimbel Bloomquist, president of the Junior Class, and the Prom Queen, Miss Mildred Evenson. Music was furnished by the Virginian Vagabonds of Marshfield.
