vqpple f:,loMnm lfffemafzievi , 1938 pfzam lt was truly Apple Blossom Time in Normandy , as the picture will recall, and the class of '39 will not forget how, under the supervision of Mr. Davis, they transformed the gymnasium into a lovely garden in old France. There amid flowering apple trees and gray stone walls prom goers danced away another memorable J-Hop. From the steps of a medieval castle Jack McCarron's orchestra, with Florence Sabatine as soloist, played, While the light from antique lanterns played over colorful dresses and white flannels. Punch was served from a lattice work booth. Financially and socially this prom was a success. Ex-V penses were reduced to 35180 by the S125 taken in for tickets. Two hundred twenty-five couples and 150 spec- tators attended. General chairman was Jack Hunt, with LeRoy Kolin, Alma LaJoice, Warren St. John, Avice Rye, and Jack Dean serving as other chairmen. To make this year's J-Hop different, the juniors are at work on an under-sea motif. Cheese cloth of greens and blues will hang from the track and on the walls to pro- vide a setting for fantastic sea animals and plants now being created in the S club room, From an old ship- wreck the orchestra, which the committee hopes will be either George or Frank Corsi's, will play. and punch is to be served from a huge sea shell. The ceiling will be hung with colored cheese cloth to resemble waves and a giant Octupus will clutch balloons. Old sea chests, seaweed, and a diving bell will add to the atmosphere. Programs for the party will carry out the nautical idea, Committee chairmen are: decorations, John Babingtonp orchestra, chaperons, programs, Betty Finlayson, tickets, Peter Gianakurag properties, Carl Leving refreshments, Jean Barclay: patrol, Ernest Robinson.

Jim Odam, Bob McPherson, Boib Tardiff, and Paul St. Pierre entered the Upper Peninsula tournament at Manistique on May 27. '39 Nightmare With a clatter and a bang, an old model T overflowing with A. and P. salesmen, hillbillies, and Popeye chugged down the street to announce to the world that senior un- dress-up day had come. Old fashioned girls. Japs, cow- girls, gypsies. sleepwalkers, Dutch girls, and negroes wan- dered up and down the halls interspersed with sailors, bums, a Ku Klux Klansman, a butterfly, Captain Kid. Red Riding Hood, and a Scotch maid. Pearl Reich rushed around as the Little King. while Lewis Chamberlain Read dodged among the many eques- trians to avoid Russell Hitler LaPointe. Harold Green created a sensation with his street cleaner's outfit and Delwyn Elliott was a dear old lady, knittin' and all. After the riotous grand march at the mixer, Mr. Morgan announced the prizes, but seniors only got their crisp dollar bills after kissing Coach Altenhof. Shirley Atkins planted a kiss on his cheek to get the prize for the prettiest costume. The Gold Dust Twins left black smudges for getting first prize for the most original outfit and Al- phonse LeLievre kissed the dollar when he got second prize. The three mountain boys, the Bradys and Charles Brown, woke from their lethargy to win the comical award, and the worst prize went to Harold Snowdon a glorified girl. Congratulations 11 and gQf' ?
