Wright, Watson, Lonergan, Harris Bee, Frey, Dunn, Spencer, Aungier Next In Line The fast-stepping juniors began the school year by choosing black and white as their class colors and the following class officers: Albert Wright, president, Patty Briggs, vice-president, Beatrice Watson, secretary, and Reginald Miles, treasurer. Katherine McEvoy and Paul Lon- ergan were student council members. As usual, the Junior rings were a cause for discussion. The Juniors, wanting to be differ- ent, chose the ring of yellow and white gold, which you have already seen. The most talked of event of the year was the Junior Square Dance under the direction of Albert Wright. This is the second time a square dance was ever held in Homer Academy. Michael Lovell's orchestra was enjoyed by the biggest crowd ever seen in the Homer Academy Gym. This was the beginning of the square dancing fad, which has taken the pupils by storm. His First Girl, a comedy in one act, was presented by the Juniors as their assembly in February. This was a play in which two boys in their early teens, sought the attentions of a beautiful tennis player. Chester, a conceited boy of sixteen, was determined he was the one who would win out, much to Dean's disapproval. Dean's sister caused him a lot of trouble, especially when he had to model her taffeta evening dress, while his mother shortened it. Of course Chester thought it funny, but soon changed his mind. Eleanor thought it was very nice of Dean to help his mother and sister. Connie Bell, Leo Costello, Marian Griggs, Anne Haller, and Gerald Twentyman gave almost professional interpretations of their colorful roles. The Junior Prom climaxed a year of gaiety and accomplishment.

Senior Ball We danced at our Senior Ball to the rhythms of Tommy Kirkwood, Jr., and his Rhode Islanders. This first formal event of the year was held on January 23. The outdoor winter theme was attractively carried out with huge icicles, long blue streamers, and pine trees covered with sparkling snow. The space under the balcony gave an atmosphere of warmth and comfort as a cozy parlor with tables for cards and comfortable chairs. The committees were: Co-chairmen, Clara Knapp and Kenneth Greeneg tickets, Treen Merrill, decorations, Georgia Bellg publicity, Anna LeFeverg orchestra, George Millerg program, Virginia Ripleyg patrons and patronesses, Alta Brower: clean up, Melvin Allis. 53? is? Senior Play The time: All Hallowmas Eve: the place: an eerie, haunted inng the purpose: to prove the innocence of a convicted college boy, the climax: a spirit from the other world pointing out the guilty oneg the outcome: the confession, the arrest, and the comedy ending. This Night Bewarel, by Barry Colbert, combined witches, ghosts, spirits, superstitions, spookiness, and comedy in the successful Senior Play. The very capable actors were: Georgia Bell, Alma Burdick, Harry Calale, Kenneth Greene, Betty Hazzard, Janice Knobel, Treen Mer- rill, Veronica Mott, Charlotte Smith, Earl Stannard, Robert Streeter, and William Webster. The Seniors enjoyed presenting This Night Beware! as much as the audience enjoyed seeing it. It was an event they won't soon forget. l20l

n the Second Round The Sophomores, being very patriotic, chose red, white, and blue as their class colors. The class officers, Dudley Briggs, president, Phyllis Allen, vice-president, Betty Riley, secretary, and Ruth Morenus, treasurer, were selected to guide them safely through the year. The council members, Enola Smith and Thomas Beerman, were chosen to represent their class. On November 14, the Sophomores held a lively class get-together in the gym. Ruth Morenus and Jane Durkee were in charge of the party. In February, a huge wedding was held in the gymnasium. Don't get excited. It was only a make-believe wedding put on by the Sophomore Class as their assembly program. It was the story of Rose O'Day, played by Phyllis Allen, and Johnny, played by Donald Knapp,-how they fell in love and were finally married. As it usually happens, the bridegroom was late for his own wedding. As the happily married couple came down the aisle, Rose O'Day gave Mr. Herney a kiss. It was only a candy kiss. At the finale, Rose leaned from the balcony, throwing her bouquet of straw flowers and artificial foliage to the audience.
