After a month of hard work, we decided that we needed recreation. We discussed a hike, a dance, and a Ha1lowe'en party, but the dance seemed to please the majority. On November tenth, we had a Hallowe'en Victrola dance in the auditorium. This added to our treasury 65.05 Cplus a one cent donationll. During November we were very sorry to learn that Mr. Sezak was leaving for the Navy, but we wished him success by giving him a fare- well party. He was replaced by Mr. Anderson, our present home room teacher. In February a few of the sophomores, under the direction of Miss Grant, gave a pantomime entitled UAnd the Lamp Went Out.n The per- for ance was enjoyed by everyone. ' Before the Christmas vacation we discussed class rings and decided that it would be best to get them now, because next year they might be auch more expensive or even impossible to obtain. A committee of four was appointed to find out the prices from Mr. Remick. The rings are expected to arrive in June.
