Remember SENIOR PRDM, Remember... the numerous dances in the 1942-43 social season? They ran the gauntlet from the very formal Senior Prom to the well-attended matinee dances, at which jive addicts had their fling. Due to war conditions decorations at all dances were curtailed, but necessity proved to be the true mother of invention, and many ingenious ideas were carried out. Because of difficulties in trans- portation, the J-Hop of the class of '44 differed from last year's by being held in the school auditorium. Popular local dance orchestras furnished music at many dances, while at others, tunes of national dance idols poured from the nickleodeon to delight couples on the crowded floor. 1. The annual J-Hop. Notice the decorative palms behind the band. This dance was particularly outstanding because of unique decorations. 2. This picture was snapped at one of the matinee dances. The Activity Board made it a policy to hold one after- school dance per week. 3. A snapshot of the Annual D, sponsored by the Varsity Club. 4. One of the senior record dances. Take a glimpse at that look of peaceful bliss on Bob Hix's face. 5. Another picture of the Annual D showing three football stars and their dancing partners. Guess who they are. 6. Margaret Wallace and Bob Gregory seemed to be enjoying themselves when this shot was taken. Who's Frank Abar dancing with? 7. A snap of the Grandstand Stomp sponsored by the Hi-Y Club. 26

Remember S. SEVEN SISTERS, Remember . . . Seven Sisters, the fall all-schoolj play; Mumbo Jumbo, given by the English Clubs;] and Ever Since Eve, spring all-school play. These! productions were the high points of the 1942-43 dramatic season. Seven Sisters, with Harriet An] derson and Jack Beauchamp provided unique] entertainment because of unusual setting and cosh turning. The melodrama, Mumbo Jumbo, which] featured Jack Hamilton, Betty Jo McGuire, and Tom Dore in leading roles, afforded thrills as well as laughs to a receptive audience. Miss Delia Wood- hull and Miss Margaret Gardner directed the play. The high school comedy, Ever Since Eve, was dis] tinguished by having the leading parts double cast., Bill Mara and Tom Lindenmuth shared the maid lead, playing opposite Marilyn Ford and Joan’ Southard. Miss Jessie Church can be credited; with the success of both all-school plays. Her direc-i tion was supplemented by the efforts of the play production classes, Miss Marian Carson and her art classes, and the Service Club. 1. A brilliantly costumed scene from Seven Sisters.'' Notice] Lee Beck's mournful expression in his suit of armor, and] Roy Bradstrum's scepter, crown, and mustache. An exciting scene from Mumbo Jumbo, in which Rod- ney Linton and Margaret Eschbach, as the sheriffs of two neighboring counties, decide under whose jurisdiction the recently committed murder falls. Bob Taylor is the victim in this backstage scene preceding! the production of Seven Sisters. Marjorie Clay as the mother, and Roger Harvey as her daughter's fiance, in His First Dress Suit, a play pre-i sented at assembly by Play Production classes. And here's John Houston in His First Dress Suit. Ben Holder and Miss Church discuss the setting of Severa Sisters. 2. 3.
