Get that ball and fight! Beat New Trier! Then Saturday night after the game, perhaps a little hoarse from screaming, everyone used up more energy at the dance. The Boys' and Girls' Clubs together were in charge of the dance. A1 Peters and his orchestra provided the music. Though there couldn't be many decorations because of the new build- ing, everyone seemed to have a swell time. Rocognizo the scuds of people? What other dance could this be but the Homecoming!
