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.

The girls were at- tempting to do their homework while the boys were stuffing themselves with pop and candy. Their conversation turned to high school and college. You know, said Jane, eighth grade prepares us for high school. It gives us an idea of what to expect in our fresh- man year. Speaking of high school, what course are you taking? asked Shirley. Well, answered Jerry, I'll have to take a college entrance because I want to learn mechani- cal engineering. That's strange, spoke Jane. To go to a school of nursing I have to take a college entrance course also. I wonder, just what is this college entrance course? It's this way, said Bill. You .nust take the subjects required by the high school. When you choose yeur college, you then take the subjects needed to meet its requirements. I don't want to go to college, stated Shir- ley. Isn't there some other course I can take? Jerry explained, Many peo- ple want to take art, shop, or homemaking. John is going to take agriculture. A business or general course is what Ann wants to take. Because of a variety of aims like this, many different courses are offered. In this way one is further helped in deciding what he wants to to do after school. This may range from school teaching to engineering. We're lucky, said Jane. Eighth grade prepares us for high school and high school pre- pares us for the world, where we will be on our own. Yes, added Shirley as the group rose from their chairs, eighth grade starts us on our way looking ahead.
