The planning and making of decorations for the Christmas Ball involved many of the new Spartans in their initial class activity. Planning the dance proved to be only half the job, as many students were needed to make the plans a reality. Wreaths, ribbons, and Christmas trees were effective in transforming the gym. Charley Davidson and Sophomore Class President Mike McNamara found that making wreaths involved a seemingly infinite number of staples. The effort was well worth it however as the dance proved a success. C bristmax Ball Gave New Spartans Great Upportunit To Test rganizational Abilities The Sophomore Class's hand- ling of the Christmas Ball was a tribute to their artistic and or- ganizational abiilties. The decora- tions for the dance involved a number of students whose taste and skill was appreciated by all who attended. Much of the value of the dance to the Sophomores was not only the enjoyment of the event, but the experience in planning that could be applied to the future proms. The complete operation in- volved Stevenson's newest class in hiring a hand, making decora- tions, having tickets printed, and tiredly cleaning up after the whole affair was over. 59
