24 RE-ECHO SCHOOL DANCE The mid-year school dance was held in the High gym, December 19, 1923. It was at- tended by High school students and Alumni. Music was furnished by the High School or- chestra. The two main features were the “Santa Claus Dance” and the “Day After Christmas” dance. Through the entire evening punch and wafers were given to the dancers. It is the custom of Falls High to give a school dance semi-annually, before the senior class graduates. This semester the dance will be held May 29, 1924. Both students and Alumni are invited. ---------------- SENIOR CLASS PARTY The senior class party on May 9, 1924, was called for 7:0() o’clock but it didn’t begin un- til 7:30. The gym was decorated with the senior class colors» old rose and silver. Small whistles were given away and for a time it was impossible to attempt any more; finally the whistles wore out —then came the circus, with its elephant, monkey, lion, snake-charmer and wild-west cow- boy. A rube band furnished us with excellent inharmonious music. The snake-charmer gave a solo dance. Every girl had her fortune told. While dancing, confetti was thrown and the air was filled with color. Advertisements were pasted on the walls of the gym, both students and teachers took part in the contest. Prizes were given. Refreshments were served in the cafeteria, more dancing, then home. The mid year senior class party started at 7 :30. A program was given with a mock w ed- ding as a main feature—a reading. After the program everyone went to the gym where they danced. Refreshments were served. At 10:45 all’s quiet. ---------------- FORD AND PACKARD PARTY The first party of the school term was that of the Ford and Packard contest. In this con- test the winners were treated to a party. The Fords won, the votes showing 272 to 273. The Packards proceeded to show the Fords what splendid losers they were, by giving the Fords the best kind of a party. First on the program of the evening, every one went to the auditorium. After everyone was seated, short talks were given by members of the faculty. A race on kiddy-cars by mem- bers of the student body Mr. Packard crossed the stage in his luxurious car. His arrival was greeted by thunderous applause from the audi- ence. A few silhouettes, and a mock trial. The audience at the close of the program went to the gym w here an orchestra was playing for those who wished to dance. 'Those who did not know how to dance or did not wish to dance were entertained by games played in the corri- dors and rooms. In this manner every one was able to take part in some manner. For refresh- ments, Eskimo pies, wafers and punch. Then more dancing, and then home, with one thing proved, that the Packards are good losers. THE FRESHMAN PARTY The Freshman party was held Saturday eve- ning, November 23. 1923. It was much looked forward to because this was the first party the Freshies had had since entering high school. The first part of the evening was spent in the audi- torium. where an excellent program was given, after which all made a grand rush for the gym. The program committee had placed puzzles on the seats for us to put together. A clown dressed in our school colors suddenly appeared, causing much merriment among us, as did the mock wedding which followed. File girls danced, but the boys did not, either because of bashfulness or lack of desire, until Mr. Kirk coaxed a few to ask the girls. 'The bashfulness soon wore off and all engaged in a rousing game of dodge-ball. Punch, cider and wafers were served as refreshments. At 9:30 the home waltz was played and everyone agreed that “ a fine time was had bv all.” Ruth Read. STYLE SHOW A style show was held in the auditorium. May 14, 1924. bv the domestic science students of Falls Hi. The purpose of this display was to put before the public the work of the Domestic Science Department. It has long been thought that this particular department has been of lit- tle value, but this idea was changed after the splendid display of the work. Costumes of all varieties were shown, from school dresses to party dresses, middy suits, voile and silk dresses, middies and bloomers. Also there were very pretty suits, sport and dress coats, and hats. A very interesting talk on color was given which was illustrated by living models. At the close of the show the domestic science class presented Mrs. Ovington and Miss Brown with roses, as a token of their appreciation of the time and labor given them by these teachers
