On lVlay third, the January class returned to their Alma Mater and, together with the June class, enjoyed the Junior-Senior Prom, which was given in honor of the Class of '41 by the Class of 42. The juniors carried out an Hawai- ian theme, using novel and beautiful decorations.

Prac- tically every club within the school feted its graduating members with a variety of affairs ranging from dances to swimming parties, the latter probably bringing the truest pleasure, as unseasonably warm weather descended upon the valley. The annual Senior Tea, followed in the eve- ning by the Baccalaureate Service, was held on June eighth, and all too soon 'the evening of Friday, June thirteenth, brought the seniors, the girls in white and the boys in navy blue caps and gowns, to the outdoor ceremonies on the school campus. Four students- Audrey Smith, Mari- lyn Hanner, Alice Said, and David Parker dis- cussed the topic The Challenge to Demroc- racyf' - The first class to wear caps and gowns.
