It was held in November, and very well attended by both the alumni and high school students. The color scheme for this party was brown and gold, represent- ing autumn. The syncopation was furnished by the local orchestra. The Grand March was led by Helen Dersnah and her partner. LETTER MEN'S PARTY Our annual Letter Men's Party was given in February and was very attractive. The decorations were of the high school colors, blue and gold, with a large M on each basket. Serpentine entangled the feet of many present and past high school students, as they danced to the music of the City Collegians. The Grand March was led by Coach Johnson and his partner. SOPHOMORE PARTY Due to the skill of Miss Nelson and a group of energetic workers, the Sophomore class gave a dancing party in April that will never be forgotten by all who attended it. The gym was decorated in such a way that you would think you were in a real Japanese garden. Lanterns, arch-ways, and paper of harmonizing colors, along with the music, filled the gym with an atmosphere of lasting enjoyment. The Grand March was led by Carl Munson and Phyllis Morrison. J -HOP The Junior class displayed their ability to the school on May 1, when they gave their annual dancing party. The colors were brown and green, giving the effect of a gardeng the lights were shaded with imitation bird cages. The music was furnished by the City Collegian orchestra. The Grand March was led by Harold Knapp and his partner. CO-ED PARTY The Girl Reserves, endeavoring to make more money, gave a Co-ed party to the high school and alumnae girls. The decorations for this were magnificent of news- paper. Comic sheets ornamented the side walls of the gym. Everyone who attended the party reported a good time. The orchestra of five local men furnished us with some peppy music. The Grand March was led by Nell Jane Damon and Merle Robart. SENIOR PROM The Senior class, after stirring up great enthusiasm, gave one of the finest Senior Proms in the gym on June 5. It was decorated to represent Iceland. Streamers hung down from the ceiling in such a way that one thought he was in a terrible snow storm. The lights were shaded with snowballs, and Wooley's orchestra, which furnished the music, sat in a large snowbank. All reports of the party are in favor of the Senior class selection. The Grand March was led by Maynard Allyn and his partner. Page Eighty-seven 4.
