:Randi fgti way, fzfaaas l- When a person needs direction or if he should desire some information at any one of the per- formances in the auditorium, he has only to ask an usher. There are eighteen of these girls. They make up the Usher Club and are managed very capably in their work by Miss Quade. Enough new girls are voted into the club at the beginning of each year by the old members so that there are always eleven seniors and seven juniors. The oiiicers are elected from the seniors, who have belonged to the club one year, with the exception of the secretary. This year's oflicers are: Mary Louise Zupke, presidentg Eleanor Naugle, head usherg and Marian Hansen, secre- tary.

ffm cz 015---music ana! cfcuzcin -- Ever since the first successful af- ter-a-game party in the early fall of '39, we have had a capacity attend- ance at our high school dances.

In the dimly lighted gym truckin', shagging, is still in vogue for some of the younger gen- erationg while others are satisfied with the waltz and good old Charles- ton. As the clock strikes twelve, the students lingeringly leave the little red school house asking, Wonder when the next dance will be ? at B.

Af- ter weeks of planning and days of work the juniors now could enjoy the fruits of their labors. The guests arrived and after checking their wraps were cordially greeted by Bill Ednie and Marian Hansen, who acted as host and hostess. A setting of palm and bamboo trees and foam of the waves created an illusion of tropical Hawaii, and the colorful leis and dresses and the gayety of the dancers under a huge yellow moon gliding to the suave music of Maestro Bud Simp- son added to the illusion.

Without a doubt the Prom of '39 Was, to the class of '40 at least, the best ever held at B. H. S. Twenty-S
