THE YEARBOOK STAFF PRESENTS J.T. WEST,S The Yearbook Staff, under the direc- tion of Mr. Charles Baker, presented the first Alpha Omega Winter Formal to the theme, Night Before Christmas . Although the budget was kept to a mini- mum by borrowing decorations for the dance from staff members, very effective lighting and a unique display of things reminiscent of an old fashioned Christ- mas lended to the novel effect. 130 Freshmen Sue Schiek and Mary Jorgensen carry on typical women's chatter as their senior escorts, Jim Kilgos and Jim Beach stand speechless with wonder. Jackie McComb and her escort, Ron Carloss, admire the presents and holly that adorn the sleigh. The old fashioned Christmas tree, complete with popcorn strings and presents, stands majestically as the formal couples dance to the music of Bill Carnegie and his orchestra. Kay Booras and Judy Lutz, co-editors of the Yearbook, exhibit the name, Alpha Ome- ga , as Mr. Baker ex- plains its selection.
