work Our first effort of the year was to put on the first football mixer just three days after school started Maybe this is one of those unmention ables but since theres not enough time left to punish us yye ll admit that we took the ushering project with an eye towards being the first to leave class and the last to get back to class The greatest success of the year, the Maidens Day Dance, May 19 was due to the desperate vyork of the girls who finally pinned the 139th M P Band to plav for the dance Still another big event on the 1944 calendar was ushering for Commencement and Baecalau reate
