HALLOWE'EN PARTY An entirely new innovation made this year's Hallcwe'en Party the best ever presented, both socially and financially. The entire hall was appropriately decorated by the various classes. The sophomores won the booth prize with an enormous nHumptyfDu pty' booth. The Fresh- man Jungle booth, the Junior's nBig Apple,' the eighth grade game room the seventh grade judge's booth and the senior's general decorations. Each booth sold refreshments or grabs. However, it was the entertainment provided by each class that stole the show. The junior high grades put on a costume march. The Freshmen sponsored a military drill highlighted by geniune service uni- forms. A very entertaining act was put on by the Sophomores in the fcnn of a series of nursery'rhymes in pantomime. 'Jack be nimble,n 'The Butcher, the Baker, and Candlestick4Maker,' and 'Jack and Jill' were several of the most notable rhymes enacted. The Juniors put on a Virginia Reel with all the participants agrqriately garbed. The High light of the evening and the prize winning program was presented by the Seniors. Gayly dressed in vivid South American costumes and led by Jean Burnap, six senior girls danced the samba to the music of 'Brazil.n The senior boys acted as patrons of a night club in which the girls were dancing. Gracefully and oolcrfully executed, the samba brought down the house. CHRISTMAS PARTY On December 21, 1946, the annual Christmas Party was held in 'the high school auditorium. Two small plays 'Everybody 'Likes fPretty Things' and nWear a Christmas Smile' were presented by the Freshmen Class. After the Assembly everyone went to their home rooms and re- freshments were served by the Junior Class. Some of the classes voted to exchange gifts, others voted to buy war stamps . After refreshments were served, dancing followed for the rest of the afternoon . YEARBOOK PARTY To celebrate the completion of the yearbook, the editorial staff plans to conduct a small party. When and if the final page rolls off the mimeograph machine, the staff will heave a sigh of relief and set- tle down to some well-earned refreshments. The long search for inspi- rations, the hours of typing, the manv revolutions of the mimeograph will be over. The year book will be ready for the binders--and we'll aH.be ready for a party. 4

The juniors, Carol Huntington, Molly Hidden, Norman Page, and Howard Hyt- tinen had better luck in the second round, winning the first contest, but losing to Fitchburg the second time. In a second senior 'round, the Lunenburg representatives lost a close contest by one point to Fitchburg. The sophomores, Constance Brown, John Kenney, and Richard Rand won their first two quizzes, only to lose to Leominster.
