The hall was attractively decorated in black and orange. Everyone came poverty-stricken as judged by outward appearance, each hopefully waiting for the prizes promised for the most appropriate costume. Aldona Zelinsky and Merle l.ibby received the prizes. VVith music furnished by VVarren's Orches- tra, games and dancing were enjoyed. Doughnuts and cider were served for re- freshments. The social evening was brought to a close by a balloon dance. lYe next turned our attention toward our Senior Play, which was very delight- fully presented before a large audience on Friday evening, February 21st, Come Out of the Kitchen is a very popular play and has been very ably coached by Miss l'earl lYoodard of the .Xcademy faculty.
