You can't blame themg it's their last day-Thank good- ness! These two classroom pic- tures constitute the January class 1938. A bigger lot of hicks never dwelled in our halls of learing for a Senior day. The back row is a wind break to protect the gay young blade of the 90's . No wonder Mr. Boyd took a close-up of these gals. Here are three of our Ten Pret- ty Girls.

CLASS DINNER Members of the class, the Faculty, Board of Education and Wives, assembled in the First Methodist Church for the class dinner, Wednesday evening, January 12 at 6:30. Snow flakes in the air and a crisp northerly wind outside in no way cooled the warm hospitable greetings of the class members as they met together as a social group for the last time. Promptly at 6:30 Mr. Boyd announced Dinner is served , and the grand march to the dining room was on. At the entrance every one stopped a second to admire the basement which had been converted into a study of black and white. Beautiful white streamers inter- laced with an occasional black one formed a low latticed ceiling. On the long tables were tall white tapers which cast lovely shadows on the centerpieces of bowls of white flowers. At each place was an attractive place card and a special favor, a fat marshmellow snow man upon which was perked at a jaunty angle a graduation hat. After a mad search for one's place, only to discover that your best friend or your biggest heart throb was seated at another table, the group was finally quieted by the toast- master, Edward Thalgott. Mr. H. F. Wilson asked the blessing. When one has hastily devoured a sandwich at noon and then spent the time between four and six assembling one's costume for this memorable occasion, it is small wonder that the mere mention of roast turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry jelly, hot rolls, and all the extra hors d'oeuvres excites one's gastric region. At any rate, a delicious dinner, efficiently served, was thoroughly enjoyed. Following the last round of mints, every one was in high spirits. At the given tap on the glass Edward Thalgott rose to the occasion and cleverly introduced each speaker on the program.

PROMENADE Amidst a flurry of snowflakes, the Senior A's and members of the faculty, who were the guests of the Senior B's, tripped the light fantastic to the gay tunes of Jack Groves' Orches- tra at the promenade, held in the gymnasium, January 14, 1938. For weeks the senior B's worked day and night stringing snow-fifteen thousand strings in fact, to convert the gym into an outdoor winter park scene. The boulevard park lights and a pale moon cast a soft glimmering light over the mirthful dancers as they paused between dances on the park benches nestled among the fresh pine trees artistically arranged around the walls. To add color and action, dazzling figures of boy and girl skaters, flanked the sides of the orchestra. Vivid colored lights revolved upon the skaters. Promptly at nine, the dance opened with the lively tune, Josephine As the couples entered the gym door, guarded by Mr. Shaffer, Mr. H. F. Wilson, and Miss Kelly, many ex- clamations of praise for the decorations, especially the snow ceiling, were uttered, and then each glanced around for friends who were already merrily dancing. Stacombed hair, freshly pressed suits, and well polished shoes fat least for the first dancej were the order for the boys as they modestly cast amorous glances at the lovely girls. Swishing taffetta, flattering velvets, and beautiful corsages enhanced the sweet sixteens. And speaking of fancy danc- ing, do you remember, Joe Smith and Doris Shirey, Sigmond Edelman and Bette Ferris doing The Big Apple during intermission? And then the last goodnight waltz and the final parting echo of Miss Brown- Don't forget nine o'clock in the morning. Now the January Prom is only a memory, but a very lovely one. This was made pos- sible by the splendid efforts of the cooperative committees. However, the person who really put the Prom across was Miss Brown. To her, Mr. Caplan, Mr. Herrold, and Mr. Bloom, and the Senior B's we owe our successful Prom.
