Yocky is the great attraction on the basketball senior varsity . .. we certainly go Hall outw for everything . .. including studies. . . . Jolly Juniors . . . Yocky,s President again . . . this makes his third election . . . the big- gest dance of the year . . . we make the most of it with lavish decorations and the swellest orchestra . . . those hardworking Juniors who always stick on the job-like Flumie and Joan and Virginia-worked like demons feven through the tom-tom beatingl to make it like 'Evening ln Parisn liwho said we should make it realistic and have a black-out?l . . . 4'Did you ever see a cuter couple than Yock and lfranniefw . . . mllhey deserve to be king and f1U6CIl,, . . . happy, satisfied couples floating -t 24- around on the dance floor Qwhat if there was a little too much waX?J . . . congratulations on the disguise of the gym . . . even cleaning up the next day couldn7t dampen our spirits . . . best Prom ever seen . . . then the Operetta . . .
