The sophomore class party was one of the most colorful and hilarious affairs of the year. Masqueraders represented animals and people of all types. Captain Kidd danced with a white rabbit, and even Gorgeous George was there to add to the excitement. Costumes were judged for prizes, and dancing, refreshments, and games made the “Mardi Gras” a complete success. “I knew Lincoln” was the theme of the ronvo presented by Kirk Bennett on February 18. Mr. Bennett portrayed Billy Brown, who ran the store where Abraham Lincoln and his friends gathered to tell stories and argue around the stove. What masquerade would be complete without flapper girls? Rosalind Boughamer, Jo Ann Cicillian, and LaVonne Spense modeled this rakish garb of the roaring twenties. 12
