28 THE SHIPBUILDER The hall was decorated extremely well in Hallowe'en colors with a low ceiling of oak leaves giving a cozy at- niosphere. Cider and doughnuts were sold and the cider being drained from a quaint old keg proved to be of much interest. The seniors under the supervision of John Colburn, the chairman, spent a great deal of time and effort on it and were very pleased to realize it was a success. PUBLIC SIJEAIQINKZ CONTEST The Public Speaking Contest held between the seventh and eighth grades of Norwell, Ilanover and Hanson on Friday, May 6, was held in the Nor- well High School Auditorium.

THE SHIPBUILDER 27 IG sc H 0 . w m,. THE SENIOR DANCE The Senior Class of 1932 held their last dance before the prom on May 20, 1932. As each year goes by and new dances have been held, better and liner decor- ations appear. The hall was decorated with orchid, pink, and green trimmings. It gave the appearance of a May-pole. In the center of the ceiling was a large hoop, from the outside of which streamers extended to the outer edge of the walls. The chaperons' corner was very attractive. Norman Robbins was the head of the committees, and Barbara Osborne head of the decoration committee. The dance proved to be very successful both socially and financially. The music was furnished by Billy Cowles and his Melodians. Dancing was enjoyed by everyone from eight until midnight. THE STUDENT CQUNCIL lThe Student Council organization was founded by Principal Roland XY. Payne. It consists of three members from the Senior and .lunior Classes, two members from the Sophomore and Freshmen Classes and one each from the Seventh and Eighth grades. The purpose of this organization is to acquaint the students with certain new projects before they become effect- ive and to give the students an oppor- tunity to voice, by representation, their approval or disapproval of such new measures. Each social event planned by any class was presented to the Stu- dent Council for discussion and ap- proval. The members chosen by the classes were: Seniors-Earl Leavitt, president, Russell Ifeterson, vice president, Mary lleliabio, secretary-treasurer. juniors-Vincent Travi, Vincent Lincoln, Cordon Robbins. Sophomores-Eleanor NVadsw'orth, Richard Claudette. Freshmen-Phyllis Turner, Banning iRepplier. Grade 8-.loseph DeFabio. Grade 7-Roland Anderson. JUNIOR DANCE The .lunior l'rom held on March 18 was considered a marvelous success. The decorations, representing the coming of spring, required no little amount of labor on the part of the juniors, but was well worth it for. the effect during the entire evening. XVith the lights dimmed, it produced a de- lightful atmosphere. liilly Cowles' four piece orchestra provided peppy dance tunes. Tce cream and cake were sold during the intermission. :Xt midnight the .luniors left, pleased that their first social function should l-we such a success.
