UNIUH-513 ima PHU l lf music be the food of love, play on . . The lunior-Senior Prom Cor, properly speaking, Promenadel was anything but a casual stroll, as the French word might indicate. lt was a lively, happy, thoroughly successful frolic where jitterbugs, Conga fans, and waltz lovers all had an equal share of the fun. After a festive get-acquainted party at lo Ann Sherman's, we dined at the Denver Country Club, dancing a measure or two between courses, ffruit salad, chicken, and peppermint ice cream.l As the hour struck nine, our evening was well under way. Some girls forgot their blue- tassled programs. Others were haunted by the cameras seeking eye which recorded April 26 for all time. For three hours our billowy skirts whirled over the floor, to the music of Stan Koskoff's orchestra, and at midnight we bid good bye to our hostesses, disappointed at the swift passing of time, but radiant after a glorious evening. On April twenty-sixth we dance and dine . . Amid dim lights and music so divine!

BRE l -.- TS To think clearly, to speak sensibly, to act wisely this should be our motto at all times, and especially during the critical period of world turmoil today. Our lnternational Re- lations Club, larger and more active than ever before, has shown us how to carry out this motto. Under the able spon- sorship of Miss Badger the Club has held many lively but sane discussions on current affairs. One of their achievements this year was an election. ln polling places set up by the Club members, everyone voted for President of the United States, and for local officials. The vote was 74 to 7 in favor of Wendell Willlciel The climax of the Club's activities was attendance at the lnter-American Conference at Denver University. Girls from Kent represented Canada, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic. For weeks they delved into stacks of books, prepar- ing to discuss, as experts, the political, economic, cultural, and defense problems of these countries. Kent had a repre- sentation of fourteen, a much larger percentage of pupils than other schools. Cur study of world affairs has given us a valuable back- ground tor further individual work, and has made possible cooperative group discussions. H tr.
