With comets in tin lanterns to shed golden light, they laughed and stamped out rhythms on the rough wood floors to a raucous fiddle. Perhaps they laughed louder than their progeny would on another far of and bright night when young moderns danced on smooth wax to a softly humming orchestra . . .U Amid planetary airs and with the then1e of Lstars, predominating, a galaxy of Southern satellites and their male meteors danced to the heavenly strains of Mars Kramer and his twelve exponents of the melody way at the four-star event of the year-the Senior Prom. In the starring roles Doris Rhoads, chairman of the dance committee, and Charles Adamson, prexy of the senior student diadem, led the sparkling and dazzling array of dancers, who enjoyed a night of starry pleasures. The five-point theme was carried out in the decorations. A huge star, draped with spirals of gleaming cellophane, formed the apex for hundreds of streamers from all corners of the Rebel gym. The programs and the refreshments also carried out the star motive. It was truly a celestial evening in an ethereal paradise. ll'll 'SUV ....,.. 11, .....- 53-ft .. -...--f M , fit, e.-r 1 -wi ' -19 ,4 --5'i-...-. 1 1 4

JUNIOR PROM . . . not to be outdone by mere elders, the younger generation blazed forth with a first class barn dance themselves. Swooping down on the opera house they unscrewed the seats from the floorg then, after placing the pianner player and the fiddler on the stage, they swung into a frenzied Virginia reelf, A modern parallel was the Junior Prom. They might have transported the South Pole as a scene for the dance, so real were the artists' decorations. Snowballs, icicles and penguins were on every hand in the gym, but with strange inconsistency, the South Corridor was drowned in palmsrpillows and plants. This, they said, was Southland. Here in Antarctic tropics the Juniors laughed and dancedg here they gamboled and romped in one of the year's most effective social capers. U81

A CAPPELLA . . . with only the murmur of the breeze through the pines, the gurgle of water, and the staccato crack of fire for accompaniment, the little group sang to the hills and shy. As one voice the melody came from their throats-they sang because they loved to singf' Brilliant growth and popularity has been the reward of this thoroughly worth while group. Starting humbly, it is now grown to a class project through the earnest effort of Miss Loraine Nelson, the director. its seventy members have sung at the Colorado Education Association conven- tion, for the Denver Music Society, and at several other public gatherings, earning much sincere praise. Widening their scope, they performed over KLZ, singing not only four but six and eight part harmony, difficult for even trained adult choruses.
