to dcccai evmtd For the average C. P. H. S.’er there was little danger of his becoming a social recluse in ’59. His social life consisted of thirty-four Friday night dances, six queens, two sweethearts, and four kingly men,” and then, as if this weren’t enough, there were parties giv¬ en by individual students. Whether you talk, dance, or eat, the Sunshine-Hi-Y Christmas dance is always a gala affair. Pep club head R. Gremel congratulates Mr. Football T. Menn and Homecoming Queen K. Claussen. Homecoming this year included the cremation of a Lowell Red Devil in effigy at the first bonfire in three years, a snake dance nearly two blocks long, and the crowning of the Queen and Mr. Football. Holiday Waltz” became the first for¬ mal Christmas dance co-sponsored by the Hi-Y and Sunshine Society. An¬ other first was the Inklings back to school” dance, August 29. Dancing seemed to be the most im¬ portant form of social life for the C. P. H. S.’er. From the three-year-old rec room, where anyone can dance be¬ fore school, at noon, or after school, to the annual Junior-Senior Prom, the dance scene is sprightly. In ’58, 150 couples took in The Beauty of It All” at Lincolnshire Country Club, Crete, Illinois, while the classes of 1959 and 1960 celebrated at the Surf Room this year, the first for a closed” dance. The Excalibur-sponsored Froshmore Hop, Holly Hop, and the Man of the Year” dance were high on the list of C. P. H. S. social activities. Pizza parties, openhouses after gradu¬ ation, and coketail” parties before im¬ portant dances were only a few of the highly rated home social activities ' . This year’s cold-enough” weather gave ice skating and tobogganing enthusiasts a chance to hold their own parties at the local tennis courts which the Jaycees flooded for skating, or at Buck Hill, a favorite spot for sledding, if they were willing to brave the cold. Although the social activity for a C. P. H. S. student has undergone few changes, it is still a year he will re¬ member as one to grow on.”
