GIRL-RESERVE—Hi-Y DANCE Tills dance was gi en by the combined clubs. It was heid on December 21st. Cor pica were invited from all Denver High Schools. GIRL RESERVE SOCIAL tin February 10th, the Girl Reserves gave a night social. First an impromptu program was given, and dancing followed, with Miss Flaniken playing the piano. We all agreed, tnougli, that it didn't last long enough. PROM The Prom sponsored by the Juniors this year was a grand success. There were fifty-four couples attending. The gym was decorated in Japanese style. Just before intermission came the crowning of the Prom Queen. She and her attendants were taken to the stage in a rickishaw, drawn by (’oolies. The Prom Queen was Ethel Mullins. The attendants were Joyce Klop-pel, Rhoda Johnson, Mary Jane Lipner, Josephine Reynolds, Verla Pareher, and Marie Webb. Following this was. the Grand March. Corsages of sweet i»oas were given all the girls as remembrances of tiie most beautiful affair of the year. JUNIOR PLAY—?-?-? The Juniors gave their play the night, of December 14th. Despite a few catustrophits at rehearsals, everything went off well. There was a large crowd attending. SENIOR PLAY, “DIGGING UP THE DIRT” March 22nd was a big night for the Seniors. Lloyd and Allen Hicks socmen to have quite a lot of trouble with their blankets, but the audience thoroughly enjoyed it. We hope the Senior play next year will be enjoyed as much. PEP CLUB BANQUET The Banquet was given May 17th. The boys seemed to enjoy the occasion immensely, judging by the way they ate. The girls served table, in their Green and White uniforms. WEINER ROASTS Once a month after school the various classes alternated and sponsored socials after school, lasting until dinner. The Sophomores are to l»e commended for their unusual social. These socials were a new experiment this year, but proved very successful. Every class had two weiner roasts held at the Red Rocks. RALLY Will we ever forget it? The huge bonfire and the snake-dance through town, to give the boys a good start in football. It seems that quite a few of the fellows had a good time gathering wood. OPERETTA Ender the leadership of Miss J ary Flaniken. Music has l»een put back into the school curriculum this year. Oil April 30th an operetta. The Gypsy Rover'’, was presented by the music division which was a fitting climax to the year’s work. Music, we feel, has proved itself very worthwhile.
