The officers are: Virginia Nelson, Presi- dent; Edward Perko, Vice-President, and Lavina Postal, Secretary and Treasurer. The D. E. A. dinner dance at Howards was one of the ouustanding social functions of the year. SENIOR ALUMNI DANCE One of the most delightful social events of the year was the Senior-Alumni Dance, held in the Masonic Temple Friday, January 3rd. The hall was beautifully decorated in the high school colors-orange and black. Diagonal streamers from each corner of the hall met under a large light in the center of the ceiling. From each light hoops covered with orange and black streamers were suspended, producing a misty effect. The orchestra stand and punch table were also arrayed in these colors. Dainty orange and black novelty drapes were hung at the many windows. A large, illuminated reproduction of the school seal was placed directly above the orchestra. stand. Music for the event was tur- nished by Herb Simpson's orchestra. There was a large attendance with many of the alumni present. Committee for the affair was as follows: Seniors-Miss Virginia Nelson, Miss Marian Chambers, Mr. Kenneth Buckley. Alumni-Miss Josephine Hay, Miss Beatrice Jack, Mr. George stnrhoun. $5
