Junior promcnadG THl: pre-Lcntcn social season cIosclI officialK ' the week-end of I-ehruary 14. with the junior F roni and Tea Dance. Held this ear at the Roose elt Hotel on St. ' alentine ' s Da , the dance was attend- ed hy some three hun lred and se ent -fi e couples who danced to the music of Hal Mclnt re ' s Band. The young ladies were charming in their multi-colored evening gowns and their beauty was enhanced b - carefully placed hair or shoulder corsages. The dance floor was filled to overflowing, and some stray couples tripped their way to the more spacious foyer. Between dances the prevailing spirit of gayety was evidenced in the smiling faces and ivacious v oices of each select group encircling the floor tables. The tempo of the music was to e -er - one ' s liking and a welcome tonic after burning the midnight oil for the term examinations of the pre ious week. ShortK ' befor e mid- night the Georgetown Cilee Club added a di ersion to the program through their excel- lent rendition of We Meet Again. Grace- ful and Easy. Old Gray Bonnet. and Se- crets. Feminine hearts were all a-patter with the announcement that the Queen of the Ball was about to be selected; and shortK there- after Miss Nona Cadler was chosen for the honor. The band played on, and as the last strains died away, the ballroom was fast deserted and the prom a happy memory. Yet the same fortunate couples were again swaying to and fro, the following afternoon at the tea dances held in the ballrooms of the Roose elt and Washington Hotels, Chairman Bill Ronan saw to it that this was a week-end which fitted into the tradition of the Georgetown Junior Proms.

Class of ip B ' ► i V .URING the summer of 1945, as Freshmen, the present Junior Class entered the gates of George- town. Their number was supplemented in Oc- tober, and it soon became evident that the class possessed a strong spirit of school leader- ship. This class, as much as any other, provided a bridge between a wartime Hilltop and a peacetime one. The Junior Class came in a hot, humid summer when few acti ities were functioning, and they sought to overcome the insouciance that surrounded them. Members of the Junior Class made definite and reward- ing plans for the coming year, stirring the campus into a new school spirit. 137
