AURORA BOREALIS OUR SOCIAL EVENTS 1833 nnd ’34! Shall wo over forget that year? Remember all those good times at parties, dansec, and The PROM? Remember the first party of the year? The Seniors (how we’ll miss them nil!) gave it on October 27. It was a Hallowe’en party and dance afterward. Everyone in school was invited. Masking was optional with the guests. The gymnasium was decorated in the fall motive, including PUMPKINS (the pumpkins were pretty though weren’t they?) It was well attended and everyone had a “swell” time. The cosumes were well chosen, and prizes were awarded for the best and funniest. Those who didn't dance, played cards. The Pep Club, our newest dub, gave the football boys a banquet on the night of November 14. The girls of the club served roast pork with potatoes and gravy. After the dinner, which was enjoyed by all, there were several talks and other entertainment. Then the tables were cleared away and everyone danced. Who doesn’t love to dance with a Football Hero? The “A” Club gave their annual Father and Ron party on the 20th of November. Everyone had a GRAND time. There was boxing, wrestling, tumbling, musical numbers, nnd a basketball game between the high school and the alumni. Sandwiches, cake, and coffee were served. The evening was climaxed by free throw contest for both men and hoys. Prizes were given. The Juniors gave a dance after their play, which went over wdll. If you will ask what happened on the night of December 8. you will receive this answer, “Oh, the Juniors gave a swell play, nnd I had a GRAND time at the dance!” On April 7, the Pep Club gave a banquet in honor of the basketball players, at the r quest of Coach Day The Pep Club gave a drill and each girl made a sjieech about ea-h player. Coach Day presided as toast-master, calling on several of the squad to tell of some exciting experiencs which had happned to them during the basketball season. Coach Day called on some boys whom he expo -ts next year to be on the first squad. The following graduating pic vers made speeches: Kenny Brown. Allan Witherel. Frank Candlln. F.arl McCowan. and Harold Bowman. Do red nnd blue bandanas remind yon of anything? Of course they do! The “Last Round-Up” Prom! The Sophomores were invited, and instead of a Junior-Senior prom we had an All-High School prom. It was given in ■honor of the Seniors, and it was indeed a Last Round-Up of the students (pardon me while I wipe away a tear.) Bill Sweeney made a splendid toast-master, nnd toasts were given by Mr. McCullough, Mr. Broman, Harold Bowman, Janice Kloppel, and Biil Thompson. Mary Jeanne Moffit was the Prom Queen.
