i ,,., llffiia Lavinder Blue, dilly dilly, lavinder green, If I were king, dilly dilly, you'd be my queen. One of the most magical moments of our high school days was the long-awaited, much dreamed of Junior-Senior Dance. None of us will ever forget the thrill of anticipation as that night of nights drew near. As Juniors we worked diligently preparing and planning for this special occasion. As Seniors, we will al- iii ways remember our Junior-Senior as the last big event before graduation. One of the most enjoyable parts ot the dance was seeing our friends, who were normally dressed in school clothes, attired in their most formal wear, and we realized that this social event was really a part ot our education in becoming adults. ln gathering for a dance such as this, we gained a lesson in social adjustment.

Whether we won or lost, the real victory was in knowing that the game had been played well and the teams had stuck to their job.
