It's All hands around at our Sophomore Hop. We ’ll (on9 remember our Sadie Hawkins Dance . . . Junior Prom . . . The Sadie Hawkins Dance in our Sophomore year marked our first big social event as a class. The weeks of preparation that went into the making of the huge comic strip characters used to decorate the auditorium were finally rewarded the night of the dance when an enthusiastic group of couples joined in both the square dance and ballroom numbers. Barringer's Orchestra supplied the music. When after months of planning the big night of our Junior Prom finally arrived the auditorium was gaily decorated with a replica of the Eiffel Tower and flowers in keeping with our theme, Springtime in Paris. A very enjoyable evening of dancing to the music of Russ Gilmore was climaxed by the grand march and the crowning of Edward Blake and Gay DeWitr as king and queen of the prom. The coronation of Say DeWitt as Queen and Ed Blake as King of our Junior Prom.

And that was exactly what the audience did when with the able assistance of Miss Post, as director, and Mr. MacDonald, in charge of sets the class presented our Senior Play. Will we ever forget that night of November 21—the lack of appetite and the nervous pacing of the floor; the confusion before curtain time as we were being smeared with grease paint; the lump in our throat before we spoke our first lines; and the thrill of the applause at curtain call.
