The Sophomore Class chose Rill Breslin and Janet Korbes; the Freshman Class, Wendell Cosner and Shirley Cooley; the eighth grade, Billy Gillrert and Joyce Thompson; and last but not least by a long shot the seventh grade, Bob Wyatt and Slarjorie Martin. These members decorated the front hall of the High School for the Halloween party which they sponsored. First there was a moving picture after which a dance in the gym was held. COUNCIL On Christmas the Student Council had charge of the Christmas assembly and the treat for the whole school. The treat consisted of ice cream and cookies; the cookies were l aked and donated by the women of the P.-T. A. The afternoon was completed by a dance held in the little gym. Several dances were sponsored in the Activity Room after school for the various grades. An April Fool’s party, given by this same group, was a gay affair at which everyone present was supposedly dressed vice versa. The boys came as the lesser half and the girls wore the jxants. It was a regular Leap Year Dance to which the girls j aid all expenses. The Student Council purchased copies of the Parliamentary Primer which they presented to all class and club officers, in the hope that the clubs of our school should be conducted according to parliamentary rule. 1«
