The Moonlight Mood Dance was pre- sented Saturday, February 15, in the high school gymnasium. Plans were completed with clockwork precision under the direction of the class Big Four , president, Norman Kota, vice-president, Richard Witt, secretary, Joan Ofndusg and treasurer, George Massar. They were aided by the capable class advisers, Mrs. Howard Schultz and Mr. John Ilyrn. The class members worked un- ceasingly to make a success of their dance. Under the direc- tion of Joyce Rupp, chairman, the decorating committee nobly accomplished the task of reju- venating the gymnasium. The theme of the dance, Moonlight Mood, was well integrated with a huge orange moon which shed its soft light over the dancers. The moon was made by Bud Sternisha. Other decorations consisted of sky-blue streamers, stars, and red and yellow bal- loons filled with confetti. Dur- ing the balloon dance, the balloons were burst, allowing the confetti to drift slowly earthward and down the necks of some luckless dancers. Pop and cake were served by the refreshment committee di- rected by George Massar, chair- man. Dick Jolls procured George Green's Orchestra which played for daincing from 8 to 12. The publicity and clean-up commit- tee did excellent jobs in their respective fields. Besides those persons who have been specifi- cally named, a great. many other sophomores their aid in their dance. Plans are a spaghetti the not too sophomores deserve credit for making a success ot' now being made for dinner sometime in distant future. The sincerely hope that their spaghetti dinner will be as much of a success as theirdance.

VALLEY Buoua IUNE. 1947 17 Junior Class Makes 3125 from Sale of Refreshments November 4, 1946, at their first class meeting, the juniors de- cided to try to increase their funds by selling, pop, candy' pretzels, and popcorn at the various home basketball games. Donald Pracht was appointed chairman of the sales commit- tee. He chose Julie Trombley and Barbara Strouse as his help- ers.

The narra- tors were Ruth Sipillman and Alice Twichell. However, the really big event of the year was the Junior Prom. From the middle of Janu- ary until April 25, these eager beavers could be seen at almost any time worrying about this prom. They decided on Holiday in Mexico for their theme-.
