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.

At the close of the '64 school year, try-outs for maiorettes were held in the auditorium, The girls demon- strated their abilities in strutting, jumping, and twirling before select- ed judges. The panel produced an excellent group for the new school year. Black velvet, silver sequins, and flashing batons provided highlights for this year's maiorettes. The twirl- ing quintet added spirit and color to the various athletic events by per- forming striking routines. Along with the regular batons, the girls used flag batons, glowing fire batons, and black canes. Unruh, Sharon Aston, Tami Davis, Joyce Ber- tucci, Glenda Witten.
