Soft lights, lovely girls, the sparkle of jewel- ry, the smell of flowers, and the soft en- ticing music of Bill McKinnis' Orchestra could add up to only one thing, that May night of nights, the Junior-Senior Prom. A new precedent was started of crowning a junior queen who is to reign as queen of the school her senior year. She will then crown anew queen at next year' s prom before she, herself, joins the alumni group. This, we feel, will be an improvement as it will remove the handicap the yearbook staff has Pat Middleton Warren Patten of trying to keep the queen' s identity a secret, will give the queen added honor, and will more nearly assure an available retiring queen to crown the incaning one. The senior queen candidates were Caro- line Parr, Betty Meyers, Anita Page, and Shirley Polka.. You have already learned the Queen's identity. A program, in honor of .her majesty and court, was followed by the Coronation Dance. Refreshments, a photog- rapher, and the inviting dance music merged with the total to make the evening a most pleasant Garden of Memories,- I- 1 , M z QQ?

,,.....-1 Speech ------- plain to hear and clear to see. Zh yea This year, as usual, we selected a speaker to represent our school in a dis- trict oratorical contest sponsored by the American Legion. The oration must be on some phase of the American constitution. It must be original, and must be approxi- mately six minutes in length. Mr. Leonard was in charge of our contest and the ora- tor selected to represent Hancock at Bay- less was Fay Thrasher with the oration, Do You Piave Faith in Our Constitution?' Debating was popular at Hancock this year. The national proposition for debate was Resolved: That every American citizen he subject to compulsory conscription in time of war. The subject, was delved into with interest by the debaters and listened to attentively by the student body.We fa- vored the negative side of the question. jim curfhin riaeb HKitty, don't make that irritating noise.n 58 For Angie this summer was different. Never before had a boy even so much as looked at her. Now Jack Duluth, the heart- breaker, had asked her to go sailboating. Naturally, Margie, the gabby gossip, and Jane, the girl of many dates, were not going to sit back and watch inexperienced Angie walk off with Jack. Besides having difficulty convincing Mother and Dad that she was old enough for dates, Angie had to combat the opposition of an adoring tom- boyish little sister who wws detennined to be an old maid. Lorraine,the sophisticate, and Margaret, the understanding soul, were Angie's older sisters who steered her through the stormy weather of her first love affair. Throughthe connivance of Jane and Margie, Jack and Angie quarrel. The rift between the two widens until they no longer see each other. Then, at the last minute Jack comes tosay goodbye. All their difficulties are settled, and happily An- gie leaves her Seventeenth Summer behind
