Valentine's Day is observed at Roseburg High as shy admirers compose sentimental verses and practical iokers rhyme familiar cliches. Overly anxious Key Club mem- bers scheduled Their Sweetheart Ball a month early this year. However, their unusual date, January 16, did not limit the success of The event. A huge stuffed heart suspended from the ceiling behind the band hinted at Cupid's lurk-ing presence. Surrounding the candle centerpieces were candy hearts and paper ar- rows, Twisted red and white crepe paper draped over The entrances added to The romantic atmosphere. Girls' League volunteers assisted in last minute preparations. To complete the evenings activi- ties, Monty Kershner presented the Court with their traditional tloral crowns and announced Suzie Bauer as Sweetheart Ball Queen. On February 14, Girls' League members, acting as couriers, deliv- ered Cupi-grams to their recipients. The buying was lacking this year as Key Club conducted their popular Slave Auction on the same days.
