Weeks . . . Dances . . Banquets February 15—Valentine Dance. Appropriate valentine decorations and a festive mood set the tone of the Honor Society’s Valentine Dance. A couple from the homeroom with the most representatives at the dance won the title of “King and Queen of Hearts.” February 17-23—Brotherhood Week Rabbi Vise, guest speaker from Blythe ville, joined with ministers of the Catholic and Protestant faiths in a Brotherhood Week Assembly. His moving appeal for more understanding and tolerance was a challenge to C.H.S. February 21—F.H.A. Mother-Daughter Banquet. After a delicious dinner, the girls’ mothers were entertained by a style show of garments made by the F.H.A. members. “Get togethers” of this kind promote closer understanding between the mothers and the F.H.A. organization. HONOR SOCIETY PRESIDENT Eddie Adams crowns Jerry Burge and Carolyn Glozier “King and Queen of Hearts” as attendants Madeline Green, Gerald Jones, Bobbi Moore, and Jimmy Michie look on. Senior attendant Ruth Hughes and Jerry Britton, junior, are not pictured. ARRANGING THE BULLETIN BOARD on Brotherhood Week are geography students Shirley Cobb and Genette Henderson.

Hillbilly singing, “professional” square dancing, and other types of entertaining really “dressed up” this dance. The ambitious sophomores certainly made the money for next year’s prom! March 22—District Music Meet. Concerts, contests, and music meets walked hand in hand with the beginning of spring. Many of our top-rated music students w'ent to Cape Girardeau, received district ratings, and if lucky enough, on to Columbia for state ratings where the competition got stiff. April 4—S.A.C.

President Bader presents Play Night awards to: Davis, best actress; Bizzle, best supporting actress; King, best supporting actor; and Morelan, best actor.
