INVADER 23 SENIDIQ CIAII HISTUIQY ICONTINUEDJ Bringing our social attack to a close we held the senior ball. Soldier Dorothy Besancon was general chairman of the Senior Ball. She was assisted by Rowene Leonard as chairman of the invitation committee and Myra Brannan as chairman of the decoration committee. The gym was decorated in our class colors of purple and white with strings of many colored balloons hung here and there. The Ball was a big success not only for the veterans but also for those attending. As veterans we presented the senior play, ''Alice-Sit-by-the-Fire which was directed by Miss Margaret Fitzgerald. During the close of the war we found we had in our forces a very distinguished young man, Rolland Rogers. We felt very proud of Rolland, for he has won a Na'- tional prize for writing an examination on The League of Nations. Rolland is to have a trip to Europe for winning the contest. A We have two sweet young maidens among our troupers who are indeed very young to be finishing this great war. They are Millie Jane Elliott and Garland Baker. These girls won't be sixteen until a month after graduation. George Terada has been decorated as valedictorian. Shuji Kimura and Marjorie Cosgrove tied for second honors. All of these people deserve a great deal of honor. As the retiring army we wish to extend our thanks to the many kind things Mr. Oakley and our faculty have done for us. We salute you. We bade adieu to our fellow troopers with the Senior assembly on May 29. Maxine Brust had charge of the program. The senior boys showed their ability for the last time. We repaired to a near-by lake for our last bit of pleasure. We all enjoyed this Final furlough. Class night we moved from our old place in the north of the assembly and took our place on the stage. This is the end of the great war of school. We have many a scar but many happy memories. -Beth Dalgity -Virginia Holt
