The annual sweater dance gave students a chance to show off their unique and unusual sweaters. Held in January, the dance drew many students who were in competition for sweater boy and girl. The difficult task of judging was done by the studentbody officers. Winning the honors were two seniors. Larry Bigler and Susan Nichols. For the original sweaters they were wearing, Larry and Susan were presented sweaters donated by two of the local clothing stores as prizes

The Christmas spirit was spread through Box Elder High by an assembly and a best dress dance Friday. Room decorations and early morning carols began setting the Christmas spirit. By Friday every- one was in the season mood for the Christmas assembly and dance. The assembly was under the direction of the senior class. The dance was pre- sented by the sophomore class. This year's theme was “The Christmas Song' A hard-working dec- oration committee turned the small gym into an elegant snowland.

A new kind of entertainment offered at Box Elder, the Minstrel Show was presented by the school choral department. Featuring the music of the Deep South, the spiritual, the whole cast be- came negroes and they all had to wear black makeup. It featured numbers as solos and group performances, presenting one of the most popular kinds of music. Mr. Boman set this undertaking on its feet and made it succeed as many students and parents enjoyed the production. 29
