SENIOR BALL Night and You and Blue Hawaii is perhaps the best description which can be given to the Senior Ball of the Class of '38. This, one of the biggest social events of the year, took place in the Academy Gymnasium on the night of April 20, two months earlier than in previous years. The dancers descended the gymnasium steps and presto! — found themselves in Hawaii. As they stepped onto the dance floor a lei of a pastel color was placed around their neck, pleasing them and also entering them into the Hawaiian atmosphere. White was used as a background on the side walls with green paper palms artistically arranged here and there and dancing Hawaiian girls carrying out the class colors of brown and gold. Their leis, flowers, arm bracelets, and ankle bracelets were of gold and their grass skirts of brown. Pineapples which looked amazingly real, were also used as a means of carrying out the Hawaiian scene. The sky was a canopy of blue streamers with silver stars hanging from them while the gold moon shown beautifully upon them. The patrons and patronesses were seated in beach chairs under a large beach umbrella such as might be found on the Beach at Bali Bali. Those attending were: Mr. and Mrs. Elden, Mr. and Mrs. Charles King, Mrs. G. W. Pulver, Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Nostrant, and Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Bigelow. The excellent music was furnished by Don Hayes and the Aristocrats, the Band with a Thousand Melodies. Frederick Pulver, the president of the Senior Class, led the Grand March. From the large at- tendance, and happy, smiling faces of the young dancers as they whirled around the floor and from snatches of conversation heard here and there, it is quite evident that the Senior Ball of the Class of '38 was a huge success. Those on the decoration committee were: Joyce Wedlock, chairman. Leonard Sochie, Barbara North- rup, and Elaine Merriam. Much credit goes to Leonard Sochia for his excellent work in the draw- ing of the dolls, palms, and pineapples. JOYCE WEDLOCK

FOOTBALL Coach Wesley Getman's Red Raiders inaugurat- ed their new football jerseys by winning their first three games of the 1937 season without being scored upon. At Solvay they suffered defeat at the hands of their old rivals. In Liverpool the fol- lowing week, half of the team contracted injuries, and after a stubborn fight, the Getmanites again were on the short end of the score. In North Syra- cuse for the last game, the locals started out strong- ly, but the strain seemed too great and they cracked in the final stanza.
