HOLIDAY DANCE The queen candidates and attendants for the annual Holiday Dance are chosen from their classes and voted on by the student body. Only seniors are eligible for the honor of queen, but the underclassmen realize that in the near future they will have their chance. The girls show a merry holiday spirit as the big event comes near. Each is experiencing the thought of donning a beautiful gown and being a recognized part of the Holiday Dance. Not only the queen candidates and attendants felt the holiday spirit, but students were joyous and willing to participate in the various activities of the season. This poem was written by Sarah Gravenhorst in a freshman English class, and it shows how the students had captured the spirit of the event, HOLIDAY DANCE The Holiday Dance is coming, It sends all the girls running To the shops and to the towns, To purchase beautiful gowns. Whispers and rumors are circling 'round, Who is to wear the Queen's crown? It is sure to be a popular lass, We know she'll be from the senior class. Marilyn is so pretty and gay, Lynne looks quiet but has much to say, Edith has a sparkling personality, I'm sure our queen will be of quality! The happy queen candidates are, front row: Lynne Luttrell, Edith Matthews, and Marilyn Strobel, while the attendants, Carolyn Fisher, Beverly Tilley, Colleen Loy, Pat Bush, Joan Percival, and Sharon Barbee wonder who will be the chosen one. Will it be Lynne, Edith, or Marilyn? fi 4-A fx 'cf 5
