We gave the annual Valentine Forty on February ll. It WSS considered one of the best all-school parties ever held. Mr. Hoff, our Soonsor, ruffled off the girls' brightly decorated box lunches to the highest bidder, Some enormous annetites were revealed for some boys bought three or four boxes. Or was this because they had designs uoon a particular girl's box? A new olan was initiated for helping inexperienced stu- dents mastcr the art of dancing. This was the first time this sort of activity had been carried on. The experienced dancers directed the inoxnarienced. Now, nractically every student can take osrt in dancing and there are no wall flowcrsn any more, The gym was decorated in rod and white crepe paper streamers with a lighted crona lantern hanging from the center.
