Dorothy Bryan: TEA DANCES The class of '31 has established a precedent of holding teafdances from time to time. As the student body turned out in large number. at each dance and certainly enjoyed them selves, it is hoped that other classes will fol low this precedent for years to come. The first teafdance, held on March 7t1.. proved to be such a success that another ma., held about a month later, Due to their su: cess, two more tea-dances followed. The:c were sponsored by the Sophomore and jungor classes and were for the benefit of the Senor class. john Walter.x Due to remodeling of the auditorium, the assembly programs have been very limited. However, those we have had have been most enjoyable and entertaining. In September, two very excellent talks on aviation were given by Robert Lux and Richard Gainey. On Armistice Day, Anna Kuhn recited the poem Young Fellow My Lad by Robert W. Service and the orchestra rendered a few selections. Throughout the year at various times, orchestra programs have been arranged and the musical talent proved themselves a cerdit to the school. john Walters Page Thirty-three

Its success was certain as nearly the whole high school turned out. To start the entertain' ment, each class presented an original and amusing stunt. A prize was awarded the sophomore class whose performance was most enjoyed by the audience. A promenade and award of prizes for the most distinctive costumes was next on the program. Virginia Skelling received the prize for the most attractive costume. The funniest costume and make'up was exhibited by Whit' ney Erickson, the most original, by Robert Gunn. Following this, dancing was enjoyed until after eleven when the party broke up. james Reed A recital given by Miss Mayme English' Lillotte on May 1, although not overwhelm' ingly successful from a financial viewpoint was certainly well received by the audience. Her presentation of many of Edgar Guest's poems, in costume, was very entertaining. A story hour, also given by Miss Lillotte for the grammar school, was a great success, nearly every student in that department attending. james Reed JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY Cn Friday evening of April twenty'fourth, the juniors gave their Senior Classmates the traditional Junior'Senior party. The gym' nasium was decorted with flags and pennants, anchors, life preservers and various nautical implements, representing a Yacht Club. Three very funny skits were given which did a great deal towards putting everyone in good humor. The best was probably the modernized version of the Assassination of Caesar. The skit of Barnacle Bill, the Sailor, was acted by two boys, and their presentation made the audience roar with laughter. After the entertainment, refreshments were served and dancing followed until eleven. The Senior Class is much indebted to the Juniors for the party, and it will always be remembered as one of the most delightful evenings of the year. Robert Lux On the evening of December 12, the Par' ent'Teacher Association gave a circus in the gymnasium. The actors and actresses were made up largely of members of the student body of both schools, trained by members of the faculty. About four hundred and fifty children and adults attended and enjoyed an hour's performance in the one'ring circus. The circus atmosphere was accentuated by candy and lemonade booths at the entrance to the gym. james Reed Page Thirty-two
