SOPHOMORE In September. 1937, the 149 Sophomores, after a woodsy summer, returned to 1 .aramie High. Our heads were high and our faces wore an intelligent look.

The second so- cial event was on March 11. 1938. a party- at which Walt Disney’s famous characters of Mother Goose ami Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs were portrayed by the students of Laramie High. Once more wc left Laramie High to summer in the woods. But this time our hearts were filled with the joy of living, with the thoughts of becoming upper classmen.

The decorating committee had worked out a beauti- ful, an artistic, and a novel setting. The gymnasium was transformed, as if bv magic, into a Venetian vineyard. Tlie walls, beneath a dark blue canopy, paucllcd with white trellis grape arbors intertwined with green foliage, carried huge clusters of blue and white balloons resembling grains. Com- mittees had cooperated to the extent that all arrangements, dance programs, refreshments, special floor numlicrs. and «lance music, furnisbe«l by Toby Tobin’s orchestra, carried the Italian motif. It was a charming setting for the ninety- odd couples who participated in the grand march led by President tarry Smith ami Bernadine Quigley. Guests of the Juniors were Seniors, faculty, and school Imard mem- bers. (Turn lo Pagt 47)
