Dear Editor: Tonight we went to the Coed Ball. hat f e had! The gymnasium had been decorate the occa- sion. A Wishing Gate led us to the danc floor. The orchestra stand was a lovely fall garden, and a Wishing VVell held the fate of many a little freshman girl. About 10 o'elock came the announcement of the Queen and Princess, followed by the grand march through the Wishing Ring, which was the theme for the evening. Escort Marybeth Burns, in full dress suit, announced that Renee Lester was the lucky Queen, and Dorothy Chapin the fortunate Princess. For the Wishing March, King Virginia Davis con- ducted the charming Queen, and Prince Joyce Reeve the lovely Princess. Everyone paused under the Wish- ing Ring to make his own private, very private, wish. l am sure that all our wishes came true for there was a new cordiality the next day in the halls of Natrona County High School. Until 1 can be an escort, BARBARA Later-r TOWNSEND November 18, 1940. Dear Editor: Did you get to see the 1940 Junior Follies, one of the most successful shows ever to be presented in N. C. H. S.? CThe public demanded a repeat on the following Wednesday., The theme was The Circus Comes to Town. We were thrilled with grace, beauty, and rhythm every moment of the time. The circus band started things off at a rapid tempo. Then the circus barker began to advertise the show when the train pulled in, and the two hundred per- formers began to get off. There were clowns, tight-rope walkers, midgets, Indians, powerful men, and all the usual things that one sees at a circus, plus several others that no one ever saw before. just imagine fourteen pairs of Siamese twins! In the second episode, called Under the Big Top, we saw the graceful Blue Danube ballet, the strong man, the lndian dancer, the tumbling clowns, the tight- rope walker, and a beautiful, glittering ice carnival. The side shows made up the third episode, and we en- tered the tents along with the rest of the crowd. We saw here the mysterious Nautch dancers, the comical educated horse and its trainer, the dear little midgets lsophisticated grown-up ladies, charming in long, blue formal gownsl.

Last night was the Football Ball, the dance to which the girls ask the boys, furnish the transportation, and trade the dances, in general treat the fellows to a swell time. The gymnasium was decorated with a canopy of orange and black crepe paper streamers, the colors alter- nating in quarters, resembling a huge wheel. June Anne Siedel had charge of the decorations, and jovce Reeve designed the dance programs.
