60 Stearns of Roanoke 1919 'foo They? rn say They Do! T HAD been decidedby the School Board that it would be more bene- ficial for Roanoke to turn R. H. S. into a Dance Hall. It was nine o'clock when the Ball began. Miss Cure, the leader of the Jazz Band, commenced the music. Miss Bohannon played the piano, and Miss Funkhouser was the drummer. Miss Miller presided at the jews-harp and Miss Noell at the horn. At the sound of Oh, Helen,H'Mr. Phelps made a dashing leap for Miss Board, but Mr. Turner, having been star player on the varsity football team, interposed and got there first. Mr. Phelps, undaunted, soon broke that up by slapping Mr. Turner on the back. This would have floored him had he not fallen into Miss Beebee's arms, who was gliding across the floor with Mr. Parsons. Mr. Turner, a little nettled by his sojourn in Miss Beebee's arms, picked himself up and made for Mr. Phelps. A fight ensued, in which Mr. Turner easily won, because Mr. Phelps had gotten some chewing gum on his dancing pumps fspecial at 51.49, reduced from il'pl.50D that had fallen from Miss Board's rosy lips. ' Miss Lovelace and Mr. McDonald jazzed serenely on throughout the whole hubbub. They were easily the star dancers of the occasion. Miss Carlisle, with her hands on her hips and a coquettish look in her eye, walked up to Miss Board and said, Look here, kid, wha'd' you mean by flirting with my sweetie? I ain't no wall flower! Miss Reed and Miss Calfee had condescended to give a duo exhibition toe-dance. They looked very chic in their dainty frillecl ballet costumes. Miss Hayward, glancing at Miss Huff and Mr. Viaud, who were cheek- dancing, and at Miss Board, who was making smoke rings with a half-gone Fatima, had been blooming by the wall all the evening with Mr. Layman. She turned to him and said, What is the twentieth century girl coming to ? Mr. Layman sadly shook his head. - Ti-us SYNCOPATED FOUR.
