l i l l . . . . . The foam! Acfzfvzrzer We maxed. The Christmas holidays werehighlighted by the annual Prep Dance, this year sponsored by the junior class. The formal crowd danced to the music of a seven-piece orchestra which furnished some popular arrangements. The many decorations included a ten- foot Christmas tree, holly wreaths, present-lilled stockings, and colorful candles. Refreshments were served during the middle of the evening, which was climaxed by the presence of a very real-life Santa, complete with presents and popcorn balls. The junior class was to be commended, for the dance was a triumph. The annual Book Drive ended on March 8th, the re- sults of which looked very discouraging until the last day. On this day, the juniors again showed their undeniable perseverance in climaxing the drive by bringing close to 900 books. On the basis of each book's value to the school library, the Junior class achieved 825 points.

. MU waffle lJd7 77207UOZ!Jbf together ANNUAL STAFF The production of the 1946 Log has been a combination of fun and cooperation. It can truly be said that it would be hard to Hnd a more willing staff any place. However, all has not gone smoothly at times. More than once Editor Turner has been seen in the act of preparing to commit manslaughter upon some offending staff member, but these episodes have been of brief duration. To jim Turner, ably assisted by the Associate Editor, Pete Hales, have gone the responsibilities of overseeing and editing the annual. What with individual pictures, dead- lines to meet, and innumerable other details, the task has not been small, but the staff members have come forth with a noble job. Howard Hastings, the versatile Art Editor, deserves bou- quets galore because of the splendid job that he has per- formed in the held of both art and writing. Warren Cutting and the remainder of the staff helped to make the completeness of the annual possible by their excellent work on advertising. Space prevents the mentioning of all those who have helped, but the staff as well as the entire student body appreciates their efforts.

Dancer, canteftf, all kinds. Cn the 28th of February, the Upper School engaged in an unusual activity-a spelling bee. Four members from each of the classes were chosen to hold up their ends. The Juniors and Seniors completely lost face before the Freshmen and Sophomores who went down with six and three points respectively. The second dance of the year took place at Anoakia School for Girls on November 17. The upperclass- men of Flintridge, along with a few Webb students, danced to the music of a band secured for the occasion. Varied refreshments were served by the chaperones in the spacious hall. In the judgment of all who attended, the program dance proved an un- qualified success.
