REFLECTOR PRESENTS FIRST “SWEETHEART BALL” On February 1 1 the annual staff presented the first annual “Sweetheart Ball” in the history of GHS. Mary Ann Hutson captured the spotlight for the night when, midway in the eve- ning, she was officially awarded the title of the first annual Reflector Sweetheart. One of the unusual features of this dance was the voting for the queen. Each homeroom nominated two girls while anyone could vote, and as often as they wished. Votes were a penny each with the candidates receiving hundreds of votes. After two days the two leading girls from each class were chosen as final- ists. These girls were seniors, Sue Schreiner and Rosemary Bacso; juniors, Sharon Bohling and Alice Peacock; Sophomores, Jamie Broertjes and Mary Ann Hutson; and freshmen, Bev Butler and Paulette Czapla. It is hoped that the Sweetheart Ball will become an annual af fair, and perhaps a semi-formal dance in the future.
