Looking over the pages of our bool: you find the record of the things we have been interested ing our work in athletics, our parties and dances, our plays and our fairs.

LOMPOC UNION E281 HIGH SCHOOL SOCIAL EVENTS JUNIOR Pllolxl The Junior Prom given by the class of '26, on lVlay 23, 1925 was quite the most wonderful party of our High School career. ln the afternoon the juniors and Seniors were royally entertained at a big barbecue with all the trimmings , at Nliguelito Park. , At about eight o'clock all met, with many other friends, in the High School Auditorium. This was decorated so beautifully in pastel shades of crepe paper and with wonderful flowers, that the building was scarcely re- cognizable. Younce's Serenaders, who furnished the music, were found amid festoons of crepe paper and fernsg and at one end of the hall, under a huge colored parasol, the girls served delicious punch. During the intermissions, we were entertained by several very clever dancers, who gave us all attractive confetti shakers as favors. The beautiful dresses of the girls blended in, thus forming one of the most beautiful sights one may ever see. u FRESHMAN RECEPTION AND TIJE SUPPIUNIORE RETITRN PARTY At the first of the year the Sophomores gave the Freshmen a reception party. There was much excitement about the grounds, weeks before the party, for it was rumored of weird things that were to happen to the Freshies. Boyd Canfield, the President of the Sophomores, gave a welcome speech which contained some startling advice to us. A response was given by Donovan Main, Freshman Class President. When initiated by the Sophomores, each awe-struck Freshie had to ascend the platform and perform a stunt, dictated by the Sophomores. After the stunts, there was dancing, and later some refreshments. As the party broke up, all congratuated the Sophomores on the most successful party. Later in the year, the Freshies proved what they are capable of doing by giving the sophomores a Return Party, as is customary in this school. The evening was an enjoyable one, spent in dancing, playing games, and listening to a few speeches by various members of the classes. After delicious refresh- ments were served, the Freshies had truly made a name for themselves in Lompoc High. DANCES So far, this year, we have had three dances, which a large portion of our students have attended. - The first dance was held on October 24th, after the Santa Maria foot- ball game. We were quite pleased to have some of the Santa Maria students as our guests. The second dance came much later-not until February l9th. One of the main features of this was a Paul Jones, called by Mr. Main. The last dance, given March 12th, was celebrated as a Kids' Dance. Some of the fair damselsn looked strangely like certain football heroes. The music for all three dances was furnished by what is now the Celite Orchestra. Congratulations to the Dance Committee. We are all looking forward to the next dance, which we expect will be on May l5th.
