Junior Women’s Club Dance DECEMBER 7, 1951 Getting a head start on leap year, the girls did a turn about by inviting the boys to the Junior Women’s Club Dance, one of the main social events of the year. The auditorium was decorated in blue and white and the music of the 4-teens floated through the hall. About seventy girls took advantage of the oppor- tunity to ask that certain” boy to the dance, and a good time was had by all. For those who failed to take this opportunity, remember, many a romance has started at this annual event. Field Hockey Assembly DECEMBER 18 At a brief assembly on December 18th, the field hockey teams were awarded their letters. The girls did a splendid job and should be congratulated, es- pecially on their win over Concord. Mr. Mattioli gave a short introductory speech, after which Miss Riordan awarded second team letters to: Jean Jokisaari, Virginia Van Vorse, Alice Boeske, Josephine Porazzo, Nancy Warila, Miriam Salmi, Jean Martino, Margaret Sweeney, and Priscilla Hoff- man.
