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
