+++++r H+ 12-B BAN QUET As a grand finale to the 12 B functions. a banquet was held on the evening of january eleventh in the VVest High Cafeteria. The subject used for the toast program, although rather queer, was a very appropriate one. At the student council-faculty conference held at Commerce, Iowa, a certain member of this unfortunate class arose and, after a lengthy oration, closed with the following remark: 'WVe 12 B's are surely getting horsed! Not having forgotten that incident, as this ex-- pression has been used several times since, it was decided that the subject should be Horsed. Lewis Huff, acting as toastmaster, introduced the following speakers: H-Dauris Rogers O-Catherine Torey R-Glorene Humphrey S-Ivan Shive E-Marjorie Mahaffa D-Mr. Smith Many special features added to the glory of the occasion. The decor- ations and place cards were of course very horsy. The programs contained a picture of a horse with a rather wild disposition, who, in raising up his hind legs had kicked over a bucket of water labeled the 12 B's. As the water flowed in all directions, so the students of this class will go out of XVest High to find a place in which to finish their education. The menu appeared in horse terms, and proved the assertion that Horse Meat is really marvelous eatingf, Several added attractions, including dinner music, added to the good time which was enjoyed by all. T The committee in charge of the banquet deserves much credit for its success. It was made up of the following: CHAIRMAN-Edward Slye. PROGRAM-Manley Hoppe, Stanley XVeiser, Glorene Humphrey, Norvin Myers. BANQUET-Marion Kizer, Severt Malum, Mildred Clemmons, Sam Kelso. DECORATIONS etc.-Margaret McCormick, Dauris Rogers, Helen Jenkins, Edgar Michel, Francis Silke.

4+-4 +++++-5 group was first divided into four teams with a leader for each. The captains for the different sides were: Paul Beall, Lewis Huff, Ivan Shive, and Stanley Weiser. After everything was completely organized the fun began. There were eight contests and the heads of the various divisions appointed members to represent them in each. For first place in the affairs an award of five points was given. After the tournament was over the number of points won by each team was compiled, revealing the fact that Lewis I-Iuff's team had won the bag of peanuts with a grand total of fifteen points. Dur- ing the time in which these games were being played, the teams appeared to be very hostile one to anotherg however, as soon as the prize had been awarded, the competitors Hocked about the winners in a most friendly manner. It is barely possible that these people wanted a peanut or two, if not more. It was about this time that the orchestra arrived on the scene and the dancing part of the program commenced. The music was rendered by a very clever organization composed of students from Roosevelt High. Wle are all indebted to Carol Anderson for the service of this splendid orchestra, for it was through her efforts that this group was engaged. To Dauris Rogers a great deal of thanks and appreciation should be given for the success of the party as he furnished the lighting effects which lent beauty to the scene. . .l- i. -l- SENIOR B FORMAL The good-will of the Christmas season, which radiated from every in- dividual. contributed to the unusual success of the Senior B Formal, a notable event of December 22nd, Being the only holiday dance of the year, it attracted numbers of students in the Senior school. The forty couples who attended were delighted with the simple. yet adequately, decorated gym. The vari-colored lights created an air of the unreal. which served to stimulate friendliness among the dancers. The committee secured a very satisfactory orchestra whose music was entrancing. The services of Al Levich and his fellow-players were ob- tained by john Bennett. After the dance was well-started, the couples formed a double line, marched to the Christmas tree, and received from Santa Claus unique favors on which were numbers for the elimination dance which followed. This proved to be very enjoyable. The winners were Carol Anderson and Lincoln Coate. Each received a prize. During the intermission a special feature dance, given by Virginia and Vernice Anderson, was greatly appreciated by everyone. The performance was unusually clever and helped to give this class formal an atmosphere of individuality. The committee, composed of fifteen members of the 12 B class, worked willingly and industriously to make this event successful. They sold an unusual number of bids and helped with the making of the programs. The group was composed of: Marjorie Mahaffa, Chairmang Paul Beall, john Bennett, Lloyd Shelton, Bede Irvin, Harold Kempton, john Ortale, John Patterson, Ivan Shive, Donnabelle Smith, Catherine Torey, Catherine Ken- singer, Hilda Berning, Florence Schmidt, and Sophia Sonnenberg. This formal was an outstanding event of the Senior B Class functions and offered an admirable opportunity for the development of friendship. ++ Twenty-nine
