I Women Pay All, sponsored by the Senior Friendship Club, is a gala affair-especially for the boys. They stand with anxious ex- pressions vvatching the girls scrape up a dime for popcorn at the show, or maybe some pop at the WPA Nchuckwagonf' A typical western theme was carried out with the help of the Hranch hands. The girls were eager to get their tags to show that they had roped their man for the Tom Mix-er. Out of curiosity, even faculty members stop- ped occasionally at the booth to see who those lucky critters Were. This being Leap Year inspired the kids to try to make this WPA week the best ever.

Since there are ap- proximately 2,200 students in Austin High School, and 366 days in a leap year, the re- sult is an average of seven birthday parties daily--and the census at each shindig would be some 300 plus. What a headache for any host or hostess! lf you like variety in your parties, how- ever, Austin will supply it. Girls specialize in potluck suppers and bunking sprees, While boys usually get together with food for their major consideration. You'll never find any boys at a social gathering unless there is plenty of Hpop, ice cream, and cake! Skating parties, dancing parties, and the parlor-game kind staged at home are popular variations of the boy-girl theme. Much more formal fat the start, anywayj are the Junior- Senior Prom, the dances sponsored by Job's Daughters, and the party given by the coach- es at the Country Club in honor of the foot- ball team. While WPA CWomen Pay Allj week is sponsored by the Senior Friendship Club in a definite attempt to let the girls coax the shyer males into dating, much of the pairing off is the result of getting to know classmates through school associations. Going steady is a popular phrase in Austin. -S-

E. . ,S 1 t Tfiiifilf is ...fi pp A ,game 2 Seeing Double? In Providence, Rhode Island, they think it's quite a feat to have seven sets of twins in one of their schools, but Austin's record beats that. The senior class alone boasts ten sets. It was fun circulating among the twins to get their opinions on being half of a set, sharing, and confusing people in general. Remember the fire twinsu with the red hair? Janiece and .Ioan Ulven have had a few times when they have tricked someone pre- tending they were the other twin. Identical twins Don and Dayle Rasmussen think it is great to be twins. While the rest of us might wonder what it's like to walk down the hall and see ourselves, Don and Dayle don't have the problem of wonder- ing what clothes belong to which twin. They are alike in size too, so they just put on the first they see.
