SQPHOMGREE H IP The Sophomore Class held a Victory Dance in the school hall on November 14, 1941, directed by Miss Elizabeth Siverd. The decorations carried out the patriotic theme of the event. The walls were covered with American flags with red, white, and blue bunting, and on the rad- iators were groups of flags with a background of evergreen. Wally Putnmn's Orchestra played for the dancing, which was enjoyed by all. S As this goes to Promenade, under the adviser of the Senior Simon, Advertisingg Stone, Orchestra, and NFCR PRQM press, plans are well underway for the Senior supervision of Miss Barbara Lindquist, the -nel Class. Chairmen of the com ittees are: Russell Robert Logan, Refreshments and Favors, Donald Nellie Maki, Decorations. The date for the event has been set as Wednesday, June 17, the evening after Graduation. The attendance is expected to be less than in other years, because of the gasoline rationing, but entertainments presented by the Class of '42 in the past have always proved success- ful, and there is no reason why this Senior Prom should not be as good as the ones of other years. Y ARIBGQK iDANCi The Turkey Hills Echo will hold its annual dance this year on Friday, May 29, in the high school auditorium. Under the direction of Russell Simon, the Publicity Manager of the Yearbook, the plans for the event are progressing satisfactorily. The music will be furnished by the latest popular records.

The staff of the Year- book is hoping for a large turnout, and the dance is expected to help greatly toward the expenses of producing the book. 6 1
