The parade was led by a float decorated as a football field with girls in football uniforms as play- ers. Butch, the bull dog owned by Mr. and Mrs. Linn Smith, served as the mascot. A huge bonfire ended the rally. The two annual dances were given this year by the organization. The Christmas Dance was in De- cember and the Spring Dance in May. The Spring banquet was held before the May Dance and the officers for the following year were announced. The girls collected for the March of Dimes by collecting money at the picture shows and working down town.
