Mappy and successful outcomes With the beginning of the new semester came the excitement for the underclassmen of class elections. These elections during the second semester are very important to the freshman and sophomore classes. These new officers will not only hold an office but will assume great responsibility and plan the spring program for their classmates. “Clothes to a Girl’s Heart” was the theme given to the home economics style show on Feb. 16th. Each girl displayed one or two outfits she had made during the year. These outfits that were modeled were either dressy or of a casual nature. The girls modeled their handiwork to the PTA. The narrated program with background music was full of color and was decorated with many hearts to emphasize the theme. Once again our basketball team came out on top. With the help of all the players and the coach we victored over SPA Feb. 27 at Hamline. The team played with much determination and skill to pull us out on the top. At the end of the game awards were given both to the team and to individual players. Other winter sports, too, have had great success. Both our hockey anti wrestling teams won many victories throughout the season and held high placements in their tournaments. 18 Our lait but b t gam

We ’ve been preparing our talents The night all athletes wait for is the Athletic Banquet. This event was held on March 14th, and, of course, honors and awards were the main thoughts. Throughout the year, the band gave many concerts. The highlight of the year was the Pop Concert given on Jan. 23. The concert band, B band, orchestra, and soloists were featured on that night. During the last week in April the band toured Chicago and its surrounding area. Our music was hard, easy, and more melodious because of several new instruments. ‘The Three Chorales” took breath control while on “William Tell” their hands were moving fast from one end of the instrument to the other. Important too was the marching of the band. The band marched for parades during the summer ami placed first in many of the parades. Also during the half-time of football games, the band performed.
