SENIUIQ MOTHElQ'S TEA One of the most colorful and beautiful features of senior act- ivities was the Senior lNIothe.r's Tea, which was held in the school library on ltlarch 15th. The spring atmosphere prevailed through- out, and the scene was completed by the smiling faces and bright costumes of the senior girls. Daffodils and other flowers lent their fragrance, and the table glistened from the shiny silver tea ser- vice and candalabra. The table was the prize of the decorations and from the shiny silver tea service and candalabra. The table was added to the artistic touch of the affair. ltlothers of the high senior officers presided at the tea table, and the tea was served by the girls of the senior class. Dainty cup cakes accompanied the tea and furnished the refreshments of the afternoon. The girls who served were divided into two groups, one serving from four to five ofclock, and the other from five to five-thirty. The tea was well managed, and the guests were easily and gracefully introduced to other mothers. The guests were entertained by members of the senior class with musical numbers, which were given at short intervals. Among the selections were several by the Senior Boys, Octette, vocal solos by Helen lNIcCormrick, a piano solo by Leola Dixon, and a cello solo by Theron Hall.

DINNEIQ DANCE The High Senior Valentine Dance was held on- the evening of February '11 in the teachers, lunch room. A large valentine framed the doorway, and red hearts strung along the ceiling served as a motif for the decorations. Al Ashman's orchestra, composed of Al and several alumni, played while the guests were finding their places. As the dinner progressed a program was offered between courses. The first number, a selection by the orchestra, was followed by songs from the senior boys' octette, a valentine dance featuring Barbara Pomroy and Wilma Fox, a Swedish dialect selection by Howard VVallstrum, and two vocal selections by Helen hIcCormick. The last and biggest feature of the program was a movie filmed by the Wood family in which Bill VVood was cast as the villain. The rest of the evening until 10:00 o'clock was spent with dancing in the library' to the music of Alls orchestra. The dinner, presided over by Dana hfurdock, high senior presi- dent, was a complete success. About 110 of the 150 seniors were present to 611 oy the event. HE REGULAR senior committees appointed by Dana lliurdock, high senior president, have functioned in their various capacities in working up the several articles to be presented during the final week of school. The traditional Hdoc- uments of Senior Week are extremely difficult to compile in a manner which will make them humorous and interesting. For this reason, the students working on the VVill Committee, the Horoscope Committee, and the Prophecy Committee deserve great credit. Those assisting Olive Vance in drawing up the Senior Will are Fulton Tooker, Spencer Sharp, Clyde Vaughn, Diary Bradbury, Angus hi-cI.eod, Dorothy Rubidge, lXIarylee Nahl, Carol Pulcifcr, Josephine Fenwick, lWaurice Eppstein, and Alan Nelson. lllason VV hitney is chairman of the Prophecy Committee which consists of Helen lXIcCormick, Susan Powell, J ack Frost, J ack Gregory, Ruth Dunn, and Bob Carson. The Horoscope Committee is composed of Howard VVallstrum, chairman, Dorothy llffonohan, Dorothy Bradford, Preston Hunt, and Bill Vollmer. The gift committee has not only the task of se- lecting a suitable gift, but also that of keeping the gift a secret un- til the day of graduation. Dana lWurdock, Bill lNIacGregor, Jane Bea, and Bill VVood are these people.
