SUPHUIHURE ifiiff x fxa By Mavis Porter April 14, 1956 was the date of the Sophomore Dance, April Showers, given by the Class of '58. If YOU were one of the many who enjoyed the entertainment provided by the dance, I'm sure you will never forget it. The theme, April Showers, was carried out in every detail and it included a'big rainbow, a beautifully deco- rated trellis and many bright colored flowers. The main attraction was, of course, the dance band, The Midnighgefsf' composed of some of our students. The dreamy music was very enjoyable to dance by, and to add to the enjoyment, everyone did the Bunny7Hop. During intermission, Betsy Thomas presented gifts to the sponsors, Miss Price and Miss Gwaltney. They also recognized their President, Jimmy Bocock. Nature played a little part too, by giving us some real April Showers. When the dance was over, everyone went away with very pleasant memories. - - I K HN I-it It certainly looks like everyone is having fun at the Sophomore Dance. was W,,..fv- .- Ronny White and Billy Skenes seem to themselves. enjoying jf. paul mirn rfmtw . ag and ig. .

The tact that the convention is held at Washington and Lee University La boys school? with the help of the Virginia Military Institute LV. M. l. J which interests the girls. Highlights of the convention are dances at each of these colleges. There are approximately l,bUU girl delegates to occupy the boys. Who has been to this wonderful place? Well, -eleven of Smith High's own students, seven representing the annual start and four from the radio station. The expression S. l. P. A. stands tor Southern interscholastic Press Association. lt sounds as though the convention is just one big party, but there are classes, clinics, and panel discussions on radio and yearbook work to attend. Special assemblies are held with famous people as speakers. This year Rube Goldberg, a cartoonist with the King Syndicate and Pauline Fredriek, a woman news correspondent were the outstanding guests. This was the tirst year that the radio had enter- ed the S. 1. P. A. competition and they were pleased to receive an achievement award.
