There were many people in attendance, eacxh hoping to win at least one of the prizes displayed on a table in the back of the room. Pinochle, bridge and 500 rummy were 'the activities of the evening and bingo was played in the lunchroom. Refreshments were served during intermission by -the Junior girls. Betty Ann White JUNIOR PROM Not many Hampton students have ever had an opportunity to visi-t a Chinese tearoom. But this drama came true on May 14, 1948-the day of the Junior Pro-m. The couples that c.ame to the prom that evening fo-und the auditorium transformed from drab school rooms to a quaint Chinese teario-om. Ken Brader Jr.'s Orchestra provided the music, and during intermission, punch and cookies were served by two Freshman girls dressed in Chinese cos- tumes. At twelve fo'clock the happy couples left in a gay mood, -having spent their iirst evening in Chinatown. Marybelle Apgar HALLOWEEN DANCE The .annual Hallowe'en Dance, given by the Sophomores to welcome the Green Ere-shmen, was given October 30, 1947, in the high school au-ditorium. During 'the day, the Freshmen wandered bashfully about the halls wearing suits of long underwear-rouge and lipstick--and bones and rope in their up- swept hair. At night the group was initiated, and after their ordeal was over, everyone -danced. , The auditorium was 'decorated with black and orange crepe paper, pump- kins, and corn shocks. Cider and doughnuts were served during intermission. Ernie Adams' Orche-stra played. Joan Smith PAGE 44
