The most memorable highlight of the year was the box social on the evening of November 30, starting at 7: 30 P.M. in the North Webster High School Gym, sponsored by the Travelers' Club. Mr. Smallwood and Phil Payne were to be auctioneers. Some very interesting pictures were taken of Mr. Smallwood as he performed his duties. The first box went for $ 1.00. The prices then climbed, for the boys were getting worried because of about 20 boys to 12 boxes. But the next to the last box hit the ceiling $4.50 sold to Bob Fidler.
