Hllll HHWKI HHY In Burroughs as well as in every school, Sadie Hawkins Day is an annual gala affair. Every one attends school in their Dogpatch attire or in levis and old shirt. Upon returning from lunch the big race is started. Boys line up about four feet in front of the girls and when the gun goes off they run for their lives, with the girls at their heels. Not many are caught during the race but they are caught between periods and after school. By 8 o'clock all are caught and ready to attend the big dance in the Stall. Of course girls escort boys and pay their way. The Stall is decorated like a barn, with hay but minus cows and horses. Around the middle of the dance one views the formation of a long line which of course means that Marryin, Sam is open for business. Altogether the event is a big one and is always looked forward to as one of the best times of the year. Page Sc'L'r'11fy-1'zu0

S E N I 0 R On the evening of December 19 the annual Christmas Ball was presented by the Seniors. Guests danced among White snow drifts and pine trees to the theme of a Winter Wonderland. Music, supplied by Karl Major,s Sandpipers, and refreshments were enjoyed by all who attended. As the strains of Q'Goodnight Sweetheartn were played and the dance ended, many guests looked by on the evening as being one of the most enjoyable of the season. Page Seventy-om'
