We defeated Waterbury in the consolation game, however. Our hrst venture for money this year was a Military Whist Party the class gave in October. This was a good start toward a successful financial year. The hunior class held two big dances of different types during the year, each of w ich was a big success The First was the Leap Year Dance held in February. The girls asked the boys. All Were dressed in old clothes and danced both rounds and squares to Burns Martin's Orchestra. Our formal dance this year was the junior Prom. Larry Coutermarsh furnished the music Another big Financial gain was the Prize Plays. We took First prize with The Ghost of a Show in Proctor, and second prize in the district contest in Middlebury.
