All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Students at BHS have parties, dances, picnics, carnivals, initations, and informal get -togethers to round out their academic program. 1958 began with the usual round of pizza and slumber parties. Parents vanished, kids described their latest dates with lan- guage like flush-em, sharp, and banana, and record players gave out the sounds of the newest rock'n'rol1 hits. Butlerites began to compare the newest fashions - Ivy league was the thing ! ! Sharp gals and fellas sported bright crew necks with plaid skirts or pants with the buckle in the back. November 15th - the Homecoming Game - arrived, and eleven pretty girls and their escorts paraded before a ca- pacity crowd at the Butler vs Waterloo basketball game. Rosalie Farmer was crowned Homecoming Queen, and Diana Weicht and Gloria Lung were her attendants. Spring again and off to the picnic! Early in the morning, 360 students jammed into school buses and started for Poka- gon State Park. After eating, hiking, playing baseball, foot- ball, volleyball, and perhaps, swimming, a tired group of students returned to Butler. Gary Culler, Hi-Y President, is leading But1er's first Homecoming Queen, Rosalie Farmer to her throne. ABOVE.: Julie Smith and Bob Rob- inette display their crew necks.

Junior's dump toss temps many Senior Band's homemade candy stand gets a rush from the townspeople at Butlerites to upset their friends. the Halloween Festival. The 1957 edition of the Butler High School Carnival was an all out success with the Seniors reaping most of the profits. The fun started at 5:30 with a masquerade parade. Other attractions included minature golf, dump toss, funhouse, and hi-fi band. The biggest crowd pleaser was the Cinderella and Prince Charming contest. Tension and excite- ment mounted as the time approached for the announcement of the results of the contest. The crowning of Joan Lowe and Jim l-lusted, Seniors, climaxed the evening. Teenage girls transformed from dungaree dolls to breath taking visions in frothy spring formals danced with the men of their choice at the Deep Purple Ball. The dance, sponsored by the Jtmiors and Sen- iors was held in the elementary building. Everyone in high school was invited. White, lavender, and purple crepe paper streamers circled the room, and baskets of lilacs and whole lilac trees that the students transplanted turned the room into a fairy ballroom. Victory smiles from Joan Lowe, Cinderella, and Jim I-lusted, Prince Charming, echo the thoughts of their Senior classmates.
