Ml' THE LOG W JUN IOR PROM 1947 The 1947 prom was sponsored by the junior class of that year and was considered a huge suc- cess by all. The theme was 'lDeep Purpleu. The decorations varied from a lovely blue to deep purple. The setting was a garden, with trellises entwined with beautiful, pastel roses. The lawn chairs were set among banks of co'orful tulips. The subdued light cast shadows over the floor giving the surroundings a moonlight effect. This all added to a very unusual and romantic scene. The large crowd had a very enjoyable time. King, Bill Anderson, and his lovely queen, Sally Birkholz, reigned over this gala event The queen was dressed in a billowing white gown. The soft, ultra-modern music was supplied by the Orl Polege orchestra of Tomahawk. BK FRESHMAN INITIATION Qn Friday, the 12th of September, we saw the Freshmen girls clad in bathing suits over long underwear, their dadys garters, long wool socks and heavy work shoes, only one side of their hair put up, and make-up on only one side of their faces. The Freshmen boys had to wear girls' shorts or their own swim trunks, rayon hose, one bed- room slipper, and one high heeled shoe, make-up and earrings. To top it all, they wore ladies' hats. All of the Freshies wore tails with a big green bow tie at the end. It was Freshmen Initiation! Both boys and girls had to bow to the Seniors and repeat the oath: ' Hail, almighty Senior! Thou shall be master hereafter! After a morning of carrying the Seniors, books, the Freshmen, equipped with toothbrushes and milk bottles of water, went to scrub the sidewalks on Main street. All of this provided a good laugh for the rest of the students, but the Freshmen took it well. They found out that the Seniors certainly had some fiendish ideas. To repent for their sins, the Seniors held a party in honor of the Freshmen that evening. More activities brewed as the Freshies played leap frogm around the gym. Several of them didnlt know how to spell HSENIORH in capital letters and as punishment, they had to find a penny with their tongues in a pan of flour. That day will never be forgotten either by the Seniors or by the Freshmen. , JM CHRISTMAS BALL Colorful balloons, mistletoe, red paper bells, and pine boughs all added to make the Seniors' Christmas party an enjoyable event. Strings of red and green Christmas cord were strung across the gym. Where the strings met in the center, large paper bells hung. Tinsel and balloons adorned these strings. The stage was decorated with red streamers and pine boughs. At either end stood Christmas trees. At the other end of the gym were a fireplace and a small tree with lights. The benches were covered with red and green paper. For excitement, mistletoe was hung in the doorway. Everyone seemed to enjoy himself very much at one of the most gala events of the year.
