The Hop Committee had the good luck to get Claude Thornhillis famous hand! Naturally. this put much more emphasis on Finalsg WHISPERS decided to help with the puhlicity by sponsoring a Miss Whispers contest, whose winner was to he crowned at Finals. For the final informal Milton Bell of Richmond made a re-appearance: he gave his usual very popu- lar jazz concert. and made the informal itself one of the hottest occasions of the year. The final hlow-out itself was a suitahle Mardi Gras for those fifty of the student body who were ahout to launch out into the sobering currents of the mature life. Regrettably. it looks as if the stupendous Finals of '53 will he the last of its kind. The idea of a spectacle to end a staid year on The Hill aroused considerable controversy. and consequently name bands were labeled forbidden at Finals for years to come. But if the Hop Committee failed in its oh- jective of estahlishing a tradition. it made up for this by having a grand Finals for the 19522-33 session.

We hope sincerely that she is the first of a thriving dynasty. Linda Watkiris hails from the magnolia helt. Charleston to he exact: hut her heauty is hy no means sectional. She would he recognized as a knockout anywhere. Although she appears lo he the answer to every EHS. lJoy's dream. she is ac- tually only one hoy's date: and was chosen for her exalted position over very stili competition. ln her we may see that the student body of li.H.S.. despite its capacity for the study of the classics. has its dreams of beauty centered on quite different fields of operation. uUllVVt'f fill ,411 gif you ool.wnlnl.
