Following the first dance entitled Sock Hop , there came the Shangri-la Semi-formal which was decorated along a Japanese motif and where kimonoed girls served the many guests. Then there was Hernando's Hideaway, a definitely Spanish affair complete with Spanish cabaret decorations, floor show, and Latin combo. In November the traditional Dog Patch Week was culminated by the Sadie Hawkin's dance and race. Highlight of the last night was the raffling of Miss Susie Neverbin's first kiss .

,1..l..l-..i-L-- I' N IDAY JANUAR? 15, 1960 TWENTY CENTAVOS Edwina Litwin. Candace Gibbs, who also served as Business Manager, took over the Grades Page for the second year. Chuck Harrison and Jan Wiison combined their efforts on the Sports Page. Eckard Bull was News Editor, and Marie Anderson held the job of Copy Editor. Ray Domingo and Priscilla Litwin worked in the Art Depart- ment, and Warren Gerig, Lee del Pan, and Charlie Jones were photographers. Valerie Larsen, assisted by Claire Rittenhouse, secured the ads, and Vicky Schultz took care of circulation. Chuck Harrison was often delegated to go get cokes for the thirsty workers At this point Marty Anderson looks like she needs a good shot of something Meeting the seven-thirty p.m. dead- line was rough on all concerned par- ticularly when articles were turned in late or had to be written down at printshop. Working under the eerie lighting of flourescent lights, those with printer's ink in their blood Qand on their clothes, under their nails, on their facesj often worked until the wee hours in order to have the paper out on time the next morning. The ad- ministration drew the line, however, about mid-year and the staff was told to have the paper in bed by seven- thirty. With out the tireless work of Val Larsen and Claire Rittenhouse the Bamboo Telegraph could have never been published. Ads, the mainstay of every periodical, demanded much of their time and they literally ran up town and down town getting them. To Candace Gibbs and Mrs. Street was left the problem of caring for the business of the news- paper and generally making ends meet. Not pic- tured is Vickie Schultz who was in-charge of circula- tion.

Charity Committee The Charity Committee set high goals this year which were realized through the response of the entire student body. With Vaierie Larsen as chairman, the committee began with the Thanks- giving Canned Food Drive for Welfareville. The drive, held in the third week of November, surpassed all previous records with a total of 2,500 cans of milk, vegetables, fruits, and meat. On the following Monday sixteen representatives of the student body went to Welfare- ville to present the food to the children at the orphanage. In December when Valerie was elected president of the,A.S.S.B.A., K vice-chairman Mary Eieanor Dendy took over as chairman and Gamy Garriz served as vice-chairman. During the January drive funds were raised for the various charitable organizations which approach the school for contributions. Members: Marsha Frame, Gretchen Schulz, Keith, Claxton, and Gamy Garriz. Chairman Mary Eleanor Dendy and Vice-Chairman Gamy Garriz. By the expression on his face, you would think that Bill Stovall was lifting all of the cans collected! Valerie and her committee count the cans of food for Welfareville. Manpower substitutes for horsepower - Welfareville or Bust!
