The social butterflies of LMHS began to hatch early in the fall with the Get-Acquainted party. ln the gym gaily decorated with pennants representing near-by schools, party-goers participated in square and social dancing as the annual first party of the year got under way, the first Friday night of the school year. At in- termission Four Sinister Seniors entertained with a skit, Zanzibar, in true Shakespearian style. Colored slides of school personalities and activities climaxed the evening's entertainment. Two varsities were held during the football season following home games. The most elaborate of these, the 'Tlomecoming Dancef' was in honor of the football queen and her royal court. Enthroned before a back- ground of gaily colored footballs and the Lawrence and Argentine pennants, she was presented a small white football autographed by the members of the team. Peanuts! Crackerjacks! Budgets! Budgets! For the first time in several years LMHS had a carnival party. Each home room sponsored a project with prizes for the best three. Mrs.. Marjorie Rix's room's freak show copped first prize, Miss Pearl Carpenter's room's Bingo stand took second, and Miss Iva Belle Harper's roomis Turtle Hill Downs and German band placed third. Other rooms had food stands, telegrams, movies, sponge throw- ing, and others, even to two extra editions of the Bud- get put out by the journalism staff. Now up the gangplank and ahoy mates! We're off to the WPA fWomen Pay Allj. The highlight of the evening was a floor show, something new to WPA. An LHS Pinaforen that would have startled Gilbert and Sullivan found sailors singing and dancing before an effective setting of a red bar with a navy blue back- ground. Refreshments were later served from this same bar. From his crow's nest in the top of the gym, Ad- miral Leo Lion looked on while Pep Clubbers and their dates danced. Clever table decorations and dance pro- grams further carried out the navy theme. Check your shoes at the door! A Foot-Ball. lisome- times called a sock hopnj was held this year in celebra- tion of the Lion gridsters' all-victorious season. Flattered by the attendance of several Hollywood starsf' the seventeen graduating seniors of the team and Coach Woodard were given seats of honor while sultry sirens, vivacious singers, musicians, dramatists, and a trio of actors entertained. The boys themselves finally took over the program and sang Mother Pin a Rose on Me. Seventeen girls did just that plus a token of their appreciation, Wipe Off That Lipstick, Manf' Coach Woodard also received a bouquet of imums. Square dancing and a Broom dance added to the festivity. Into a world of lacy snowflakes, a sparkling new moon, white Christmas trees, and reindeer leaping among boughs of cedar, came girls dressed in beautiful formals of bright holiday colors and boys scrubbed and shiny for the annual Christmas formal. Greeted by two small angels who gave out velvety covered programs, the students danced to the music of Dick Stewartis band that was cradled in the crest of a moon twinkling with holiday brightness. Seated behind two old-fashioned coach lanterns at intermission. dan- cers heard a chorus sing The Twelve Days of Christ- mas. Margaret Black, senior representative on the Student Council, was in charge of all parties. BiII's right isn't that wicked, is it, Alden?
