The promenaders came into a fairyland of twinkling stars, colored lights, and toadstools through a moss-covered will-gate. The dance floor was surrounded by a willow fence while in the center a revolving mirrored garden attracted one’s attention. At one end of the gymnasium a full moon shone through the branches of a vine and moss-covered tree. At the other end. the background for the orchestra was formed by a waterfall. Dwarfs, elves, and fairies peeked out from behind toadstools and through the fence. Before the floor show, which was given in the latter part of the evening, the Prom Queen, Sunta Alberico, was crowned with a crown of fresh garden flowers. Her attendants, Harriet Pitt, Katherine Butz, and Virginia McCandless, were given corsages. The program was as follows: Song, Colleen and Patricia Faricy; dance, Ila Akin; accordian solo, Joan Zontine; tap dance, Alfred Tollis and Dorothy West; vocal solo, Virginia Smith; tap dance, Eugene Henrich.

The decorations were carried out as a winter scene and added to the attractiveness of the party; it was known as the Sophomore “Winter Frolic.” The boys of this class showed an interest in athletics and were represented in football by Frank Morelli, Raymond Syputa, George Barnes, Billie Draper, William Graham, Leonard Gray, Allen Delling, and Joe Conrado; Allen Delling, George Barnes, Frank Morelli, and Billie Draper winning the “F” letter. The bovs out for basketball were Joe Conrado, Raymond Syputa, Jimmy Linn, Lee Garcia. Billie Draper, and William Graham: however, the competition was so strong that none were able to make a letter. The Sophomore girls had a strong basketball team which was captained by Betty Dickson, the souad members being Marie Perrin, Lena Mae Delling, Lydia Brinlee, Hazel Wells, Mary Lois Thomson, and Ila Akin. The contest play selected for presentation was “Compensation,” a difficult play, but under the direction of Betty Huiatt the Sophomore cast did very well; Billie Draper getting honorable mention.

For spopnsor they chose Miss Frances Nash. At Christmas Miss Nash left, and Miss Rena Reed took her place. The Freshmen began their first year in high school by holding a picnic at Oak Creek which was enjoyed by all. Later the Freshmen and Sophomores held a skating rink party which many of the upper classmen attended. The Freshmen gave a party in the high school gymnasium with members of the Sophomore class as their guests. On Homecoming Day the upper classmen were forced to take a back seat while the Freshmen carried off the prize with their attractive float. This float represented a football field on which the Huskies were winning over the opposing team. A number of the Freshmen started their dramatic career by joining Mask and Wig and later became charter members. Four Freshmen had parts in the All School Play. They were Irene Stair-brook, Allen Berardi, Anna Amarantus, and Carl Pinamonte. All players showed dramatic talent in the Freshment Contest Play, “Cheese It.” Joe Burchik received honors for the second best actor. The Freshmen were well represented in declamation and oratory, with John Butz and Irene Stainbrook competing in the finals. A few Freshmen students joined the Debate Club. John Butz participated in the debates in Pueblo and Canon City. A group of our Freshmen boys went out for both football and basketball. Some of them received letters. The Freshmen girls showed their school spirit by going out for girls’ athletics. They gave the other classes good competition in the girls’ basketball tournaments. The Freshmen showed that they were studious, for a large number of them were on the honor roll during the year. The class got together for the last time for the year at the class picnic on the last day of school. They will come back next year one step higher on the way to “Higher Education.” CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT ................... Joseph Burchik SECRETARY-TREASURER ..........

HOMECOMING DAY The second annual Homecoming Day was celebrated at Florence High School on October 9, when the Huskies played West Denver Cowboys on Palmer Field. Preceding the game the Florence High School students participated in a parade. There were several floats in the parade, one of which had the athletic queen and her attendants. Other floats were entered in the parade, one by each of the classes. The Freshman Class captured the prize offered for the best float, on which was a miniature football field with a football game in action. Second prize was awarded to the Junior Class float, and the P. G. float received honorable mention. When the parade had passed through the business district, a ceremony to crown the Athletic Queen was held on Palmer Field. At this ceremony Fred Dalpiaz, football captain, crowned as queen, Norma Lee Jennings, who had been chosen by the student body. She was attended by Virginia McCandless, Dolores Fabrizio, and Maxine Davies. Page 61 FOOTBALL Forty-seven boys checked out uniforms for football on September first to start the 1937 football season. Practice was started a week before school starred in order to get the boys in condition. The season was most successful, considering the Huskies had the toughest schedule ever attempted by a Florence High School football team. The team won four games and lost four games, making percentage of .500. New blue and gold suits purchased this year added much to the squad’s appearance. Prospects for next year’s team are unusually good. Coach J. G.
