Dances are an important part of student social life at East, and not to be forgotten are the planning and preparation that precede the few hours of entertainment, Committees are formed weeks before the date of the dance to insure its com- plete success. When bids are purchased at the box office in the front hall, the bid and master check list are signed. Because they are nontransferable, the name and number on each bid are checked against the list at the entrance of the dance. On their arrival at East boys check their coats and wait in the hall while their dates place their wraps in the girls' clock- room and spend a last minute at the mirror. The dances, from nine to twelve, are usually followed by a stop at one of the popular restaurants. METZA YAKSHA sells a bid for Night of Knights, the Seroph swing. The Seraph Sisters sponsor the tirst dance of the year soon after school opens in the fall. DANCERS LOOK ON as Shirley Shaver and her date, Sig Henry, jit- terbug ta music played by the Denver Symphony orchestra. Symphony serenade is held at the D. U, Student Union for all Denver high schools. Wm- i THE PROBLEM of a theme for the Senior prom puzzles Lynne Weinstein. Senior prom, the only school dance that is entirely formal, was held this year in the Lincoln room of the Shirley-Savoy. The theme was Secrets of the Sea, and the room was changed into a deep sea fantasy. DANCES 2 in Xi U,
