a ee ee ee ae ing and enjoyable for all who attended. The first production, a play writ- ten by the students and entitled ‘‘A Half Hour in a Nut House,”’ was a scream from beginning to end. The second number was a ‘‘Fashion Show”’ with Lawrence Wright as Designer. He was assisted by the ‘‘ Most Beautiful Vampish Models Known to Fashion.’’ The Bathing Beauty and even the Cave Man were introduced. The third presentation was a clever burlesque on ‘‘The Merchant of Venice.’ Beyond a doubt this play was immensely enjoyed by everyone. The fourth and last production was ‘‘The Lonesome Little Raindrop’’ featuring Lawrence Wright and seven beautiful chorus girls. Everyone then adjourned to the gymnasium where the Seniors were de- feated by the Juniors in a Basket Ball game. Dancing followed until a late hour and everyone went home with a happy smile. The Seniors are especially erateful to their adviser, Mrs. Hawkinson, and to Miss Woodward and Miss MeLaurin for helping them to give this benefit performance. Those who made the evening a success were Hercelia and Patricia Brad- bury, Anna Kovee, Ruth Michaelian, Gladys Rouse, Edith Parks, Blossom Griffin. Claire Adair, Irma Kendrick, Verna Turley, Ester Johnson, Maudy Henry, Florence Garfinkle, and Lawrence Wright, Stanley MacDonald, Francis ‘NicLaughlin, Philip de Luna, Reese Hays, Raleigh Davies, Ridgley Greathouse, Richard Radcliffe, Chester Long, Hale Stoddard, Edmund Read, Martin Dabo vich, Samuel Wagener, Claude Van Marter, and Matthew Dowling. THE SPRING DANCE The first dance of the spring semester was given in the High School Gym- nasium, on the night of April 29. The gym was transformed into a fairyland, very gracefully decorated with feathery greens and snowballs, and wires hung with entwinine wreaths decked the rafters, from which hung large Japanes@ lanterns. The orchestra, from their position in the middle of the dancing space, certainly did justice to that word ‘‘Jazz.’’ It was composed of a number of high school boys, and Richmond Hi feels proud of its purveyors of harmony. The programs were the first to be printed on our own printing press, and were indeed artistic. Punch was served from a gaily decorated booth, and the warm night guaranteed its popularity. The dance was a huge success in every way, and we hope that next year many such happy oceasions will be enjoyed. THE JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The biggest event of the year, for the upperclassmen, was the Junior- Senior Banquet, held on the evening of May 20, in the High School Gymnasium. Long rows of tables were arranged and the gym was very beautifully decorated in orange and green. Never before has such a gorgeous scene been achieved by ambitious Juniors. Dainty place-cards, which were eenuine works of art, adorned the tables, and provided an added attraction to the affair. The toastmaster was Curtis Smith, president of the Junior class, and the speakers of the evening were Arthur Fischer, Ruth Robison, Kenneth Matthie- sen, Patricia Bradbury, Gladys Rouse, Hale Stoddard, Matthew Dowling, Law- renee Wright and Philip de Luna. All the speeches were ereatly enjoyed and heartily applauded by the attentive and interested listeners. Hula girls and Hawaiian singers formed a striking climax to the speeches. After the banquet, the tables were whisked away, programs were pro- dueed, and dancing delighted both Juniors and Seniors until late in the evening. The custom of holding this function was established in 1919, by Miss Barth and we hope that it will remain throughout the career of the High School. aa) aoe

aa eee a ee | ( SOCHETY 2: | CHICO DANCE One of the most enjoyable dances of the school year was the Chico Dance, held in the old assembly hall, November 13, 1920. The hall decorated to rep- resent the foot-ball field, had goal posts entwined in red and blue crepe paper at each end. Only a few of the Chico boys were present, but a large number of High School Students filled the dance programs to their capacity. These programs were in the form of a foot-ball with ‘‘Line-Up”’ inserted to head the program list, which expressed the real spirit of the dance. JUNIOR - SENIOR TEA The one big affair that is always looked forward to by the upper-class girls is the Junior-Senior Tea, which was inaugurated by the Senior girls of ‘19. The Senior Girls Club of ’21 gave the tea in honor of the Junior girls at the Club louse on December 11. The upper hall was artistically decorated, and a number of Senior girls were attired in Colonial costumes of various col- ors. Music, games, and dancing were participated in by all, the faculty en- t joying them no less than the students. A very delight{ul program was sue- nl A a i. a at teal cessfully carried out, including a Colonial dance. Late in the afternoon, ice eream and cookies were served by the Colonial girls. The Junior girls marked this affair as a huge suecess and it is to be hoped this tradition will be continued throughout the High School’s life, as it brings the upper-class girls into closer touch and relationship with each other. SENIOR XMAS PARTY 1 ] Every one said that the Senior Kid Xmas Party was the best ever held. This was in the Assembly Hall on December 17, and at an early hour the party of ‘‘kiddies’’ arrived. There were the ‘‘little’’ girls with their dollies, and the “‘little’’ boys in their knee pants, and even Mrs. Hawkinson and Miss Mar- tin were just like the rest of us—‘‘kids.’’ There was a Xmas tree all beauti- fully decorated, and candy, popcorn and a present for every one. There was a pause in the merry-making long enough for the camera-man to take a flash- light picture of the hilarious group. Late in the evening, ice-cream and eake were served in the cafeteria, after which games were participated in again. If the Seniors were ever thought to be dignified and sedate. they certainly wrecked that superstitution on December 17. SENIOR STUNT NIGHT The night of April fifteenth was specifically known as ‘‘Senior Stunt Night,’? and a well-prepared entertainment was given in the assembly hall. which was filled to its capacity. Hager students, parents, and friends view- ed the ‘‘Scintillating Senior Sonesters’’ with wonder and admiration. An ad- mission of twenty-five cents was charged, and as a result $116.50 was realized for the Senior Edition of the Hi-Nus. Hours of diligent practice were given to making this entertainment pleas- Qe Sl (
