Pat: You mean Warner Brothers' reproduction of Shakespeare's Hamlet, in which Bill Spinelli plays the leading role? Dick: That's the one. Let's go! Patricia Lyon Richardson Lewis. Senior Banquet and Dance After a heated discussion on the pros and cons of a class trip it was finally decided that such an undertaking would be very unpatriotic due to the trans- portation problem because of the curtailment of gas and tires. To take the place of this long anticipated event the class decided that a banquet and dance would be a fairly good substitute. Hence on May 14, two bus loads of exuberant seniors left the Community house for Lyndonville, Vermont, with the boys not particularly worried about the shortage of sugar. We arrived at our destination about six-thirty, and proceeded to acquaint ourselves with the town, fthey call it a town anywayj. After the boys had found out how the elevator ran and made a few more inquiries on the establishment we went on into the dining room where a tur- key dinner was enjoyed by all. At the end of the meal Mr. Glazier was pre- sented with a gift as he is leaving Littleton High. After this, individual toasts were given and a rousing cheer for Miss Cox who was absent at the time. After the dinner we retired to the lobby where dancing took place until twelve. A few hours later the last busload of seniors tired but happy arrived at Littleton.
