'53 SENIOR BALL This picture shows some ol our students danc- ing at the i953 Senior Ball. The theme ot last year's Senior Ball was Fiesta, The auditorium was gaily decorated in Mexican motifs. Wide sombreros, lazy Mexican senors, and prickly paper cacti gave an atmosphere of old Mexico, and brightly colored paf per streamers and balloons completed the Fiesta mood. The Senior Ball, although not the only social event ot the school year, is probably the most outf standing. The cheerleaders sponsored the Sno-Ball in the mid-winter, and chose for their theme Star- dust, This was a semi-formal dance set against a wintry background. Throughout the year, many school parties are held for the enioyment of the student body. These dances are sponsored by clubs and classes. They are ot a less formal nature than the balls, and ale ways attract a large group of boys and girls who enjoy dancing and seeing the entertainment which is sometimes provided. Various members ot the lac ulty are on hand to chaperone and ioin in the fun. The Iunior High School is allowed to attend these parties, where these students get their tirsl appar' tunity to learn the social skills ot dancing. Some ot the special school parties given in the past year or so have been the Bunny Hop , the St. Patricks Day Dance, and the lunior Party. Square dances are provided by the clubs now and then for variety. We teel that our school program is a we-ll' rounded one in social activities. The proverb, All work and no play makes lack a dull boy , is a true one, but cannot ke applied to these happy students you see pictured above. 'iss B S itil
