The gueen was crowned in a lovely lapanese garden, which was surrounded by lanterns, cherry blossoms, and huge fans in carrying out the theme, HA Nipponese Night, which made the dance one of the loveliest affairs of the year. This year the dance was put on entirely by the honor girls, with each of the 33 serving on a committee. Rachel Braxtan and Grace Minson were co-chairmen of the dance, and Miss Clara Ctness, dean of girls, was the faculty supervisor. Essamary Parker was in charge of the decorations, Mary Cowles of the corsages, Betty Nixon of the music, Betty Hearne of the programs, Beverly Gakley of the patrons, and Ramona Rodgers, publicity. To climax their activities, the girls held their annual breakfast and then attended church together. Thus ended a pleasant, busy year. .ZZ-

The lndians are coming! Anyway, that's what it looked like when the Girls' club cabinet sponsored a pow-wow in conjunction with the Boise-Moscow game. The dean of girls' office was transformed into a general store, where lndian head-dresses and brightly colored feather ticklers were sold. During the pow-wow lndian blankets and these head-dresses made the students really look like the Boise Braves. The purpose of the sale was to raise money to sponsor a Tunior College scholarship. This, however, was only one of the many activities of this year's cabinet. The Co-ed Ball under the co-chairmanship of l-lelen Skelton and Ramona Rodgers had as its theme l'Candy Land. The hall was decorated with huge lolly-pops, chocolates, and candy canes. Each girl received red and white candy canes. The annual pay assembly put on by the Girls' club had as its chairman Lois Camp. The theme was a Black club or a night club in the heart of New York City. The stage was decorated entirely in black and silver. Couples, formally dressed, danced and dined, and an elaborate floor show made this pay as- sembly undoubtedly the most enjoyable ever put on. The officers of this year's cabinet were: Grace Minson, presidentg Betty l-learne, vice presidentg Essamary Parker, secretary, Lois Camp, treasurer. .21-

The society this year was made up of l2 juniors, lil sophomores, and lO fresh- men, making 36 altogether. Cfficers were Mary Cowles, junior, presidentg Helen Marr Archibald, sophomore, vice presidentg Lois Malnati, freshman, sec- retary, and Earnest Day, junior, treasurer. Members are chosen by a faculty committee, and the selection is based on scholarship, leadership, and character. This committee, appointed by the principal, was headed this year by Miss Grace Berry, history teacher. Each student's scholastic record and activities are evaluated carefully before he is admitted to membership. The society was organized several years ago by Zed L. Foy, principal, as a means of giving recognition to lower classmen similar to that given to seniors by the National Honor Society. Membership is for one semester onlyg thus members must maintain their high standing to win selection during succeeding semesters. At its last assembly this year there was a program befitting the occasion, including a trumpet trio by Bettina Cleaver, Kirk Anderson, and Parker Tylerg a string guartet made up of Carol Calvert, lean Page, lames Terrell, and Car- melita Leonardson. Donald Harper, public speaking teacher, gave a short humorous talk, furnishing a pleasant touch of lightness. -23.
