SUNSHINE HELPS DESERVING AND The Sunshine Society formal installation of officers and initiation of new members was held at the First Brethren Church in Oc- tober. The mothers were invited and refresh- ments were served in the basement following the ceremony. Peanut Pal Week was before Christmas. Each day a secret peanut pal gave a small gift. On the last day a special gift was given. Some members of the society decorated a Christmas tree which stood in the entrance of the new building. The profits from the annual chili supper held in January were contributed to the Riley Fund. A Sweet- heart Dance, a big success, was held Febru- ary 14. All members pitched in to work for the chili supper in the cafeteria. The officers, Ruth Ann Thomas, Jean Stabler, Judy Pulver, Ruth Ann Gass, Linda Runyan, and Marjorie Merckx carry the Sweetheart Dance Val- entine. 24

I ' ' -; ' Couples dance to the music of Mrs. Enid Scott and ensemble. Nola Reed and Larry Snyder reigned as Queen and King at the Sweetheart Dance. After a draw- ing they were crowned by Babette Miller and Dick Funderburg, last year ' s royal couple. SPREADS CHEER With a Song in My Heart was the theme of the dance. In carrying out this theme, a large red shining heart at the head of the dance floor bore the title With a Song In My Heart, in silver glitter. Each couple en- tered the dance floor in the commercial room through a large red heart. Stars, red and white cupids. along with many different shapes and sizes of hearts accented the red and white crepe paper decorations. One of the special dances of the evening was a broom dance in which a decorated broom was passed from one escort to another in exchange for a partner. Refreshments were served at small tables in the adjoining room. Ruth Ann Thomas was chairman of the dec- orating committee which spent many hours planning and putting up decorations. Shown here are Mr. and Mrs. Hinton, chaperones. Also chaperoning were Mr. and Mrs. Sharp. 25
