J-Hop - 1940 The outstanding social event of the school year was the J-Hop. May 17 found the gym decorated with evergreen trees, shrubs, holly hocks, and delphinium, and looking like the Country Garden it was named for. A canopy of festoons in alternating shades of blue, white, pale yellow, and nile green furnished the ceiling. Artificial moss covered the bandstand, which was partially concealed by evergreen shrubs and big clusters of flowers. About two hundred guests passed down the receiving line which formed near the west entrance at nine o'clock. Receiving with the Junior and Senior class officers and their partners were Supt. and Mrs. D. L. Wilde, Prin. and Mrs. L. C. Bendle, Miss Vivian Greenhoe, and Mr. and Mrs. Nor- bert Radtke. While Earl Johnson's orchestra played Percy Grainger's Country Gar- dens, the couples joined in a grand march. They were led by the Junior and Senior class presidents and their partners, namely, John Peterson and Barbara Hornkohl, Roger Campbell and Phyllis Krus. Through a white trellised rose arbor the guests were served re- freshments from an attractively appointed table presided over by Jean Borske. The patrons and patronesses were members of the Board of Education and their wives and the parents of the Junior and Senior class ofiicers. Working hard all seme ter were the following committees headed by Sam Chapman and Betty Axce: Ticket Committee, Leonard Dietz, chair- man, Bud Van Hise, Evelyn N ickelsen, Donna Field, Jean Foster, Decora- tion Committee, Iris Olsen, chairman, Glen Anderson, Fern VValters, Rhea Elliot, Marian Raskeyg Program Committee, Jean Borske and Bob Van Andelg Refreshment Committee, Helen Wilks, chairman, Stuart Forth, Dorothea Magnes, Barbara Bates, and Melissa Meling and the last but not least, the Music Committee, with John Peterson and Harley Fortier. Better late than never was evidently the motto of those who turned up to take down the decorations, but you can see by the pictures that they worked hard.
