May Festival The outstanding social event of the school year was the unequaled May Dance. The main event of the evening was the coronation of the Queen and King amidst the beautiful decorations of the auditorium. Following the crowning there was the tra- ditional May Pole Dance by the members of the Queen’s Court and the always impres- sive Grand March headed by the King and Queen. The theme of spring was carried out in the decorations and an atmosphere of gaiety made the dance enjoyable for all. TEN

Jo Love Miss Holmes The Junior Class, in addition to having the two tallest boys in school and the only set of twins, can lay claim to the doubtful distinction of being the only class in school in which the girls out-number the boys two to one. Whether this is an advantage or disadvantage is hard to determine. However, it can be said that the class has been active. On December 18 the Juniors sponsored the Christmas Dance, “Rhapsody in White,” and it was a big success. On May 21 the Class held the Annual Junior-Senior Banquet in honor of the graduates. In addition to these group events, the members of the class took active parts in music, speech, and athletic contests and proved beyond a doubt that they will be more than ready to step into the role of graduates, come another year.
