Girl Shy The success of Girl Shy was due to Don Bergum portraying the part of Tom Arsdale who had terrific reputation as a woman hater. He wished he could stop being Hgirl--shyn and meet nice girls like Babs Sanford. His lady-killer roommate was direct contrast to Don. Oke loved girls, adored them, and was faithful to two or three at a time. Thinking that Tom hated women, Babs Sanford decided to do something about it, so she managed to change places with the girl who cleaned up the boys' room. This gave her a chance to work on the girl-shy Tom and she certainly did. The impression Babs made on Tom when he first saw her was about as unnoticeable as two planets crashing among the stars. Then just as something beautiful started to develope between Tom and Babs, Tom's father walked in with a girl from home.' Tom's father thought the girl from home was just the girl for Tom, and to make matters worse, Babs was put on the spot when the girl she changed places with returned. The mix-up grew and poor Tom wishedhe could just evaporate out of it all, but as the plot unwound, everything turned out for the best. Babs and the rest of the cast really helped Tom overcome his problem of being MGirl Shy.

On April 269 the High School gym was transformed into a beautiful Ball Room. The event was the annual Junior Prom with Class Presi- dent John Aeschhmann and Betty Schulenberg reigning as King and Queen. The sides of the gym were draped with pastel colored crepe paper. At the back was a huge moon shining over the dancers. Under the moon was a c1rcular punch bar with pastel crepe paper draped in the shape of doorways on each side. To complete the scene was a rustic wishing-well placed in the center of the floor. There were gold fish swimming in the well and around it a white picket fence and some flowers. The must, for this successful Prom was furnished by Norm Kins- ley.
