The class was well represented with sev- enty students attending. The seniors held their an- nual informal party in the high school gym February 14. Games were played, refreshments served, and as usual a floor show was presented. Featured in the show were the quartet, Don McFarland, Harley Burden, John Gardner, and Leonard Hawkins, the girls' trio, Joan Watson, Dorothy Wfiley and Mary Jane Murphy, a duet, Robert McCoy and Dorothy Cof- felg and Earl Mason and his torrid trum- pet. The arranging committees were headed by Betty Savesky, while Richard Davis and Virginia Garthwait directed the decoration committee. The sophomore class mem- bers held their party March 17 in the gym, their theme being St. Patrick's Day. The decorations carried out the theme and were in charge of Reeley Wiley. A novel floor show was presented consisting of numbers by the quartet, Robert Galli- gan, playing a bozooka solo, and a vocal duet. The junior class held their party March 28 in honor of the varsity basketball team. The team voted for a Varsity Sue to be queen of the affair and Dorotha Coffel was selected. Elabor- ate decorations were designed by Dorothy Bogue and Katherine Glessner, and a floor show under the direction of Suzanne Harrold was presented. A Hi-Y-Girl Reserve par- ty was held in April in the Y.W.C.A. club room. Games were played and music for dancing was furnished by a nickelo- deon. Attendance prizes were awarded. The entertainment consisted of a pro- gram presented by Mary Smtih, Robert McCoy, Don Batton and Phil Vandivier.
