OUR SENIOR YEAR At last that year for which we have been waiting eleven, or has It been twelve for some, has arrived. Believing in the old adage that procrastination is a thief of time, we had our class organization under way in early September. Our first activity was turning gypsy at the Halloween carnival at which the senior girls,garbed in bright colored skirts and all the beads that they could borrow, sold novelties. In the meantime the boys had drummed up enough votes to elect our candidate, Marylene, the carnival queen. She was coronated in a Wizard of Oz ceremony. With football victories in the air, we planned a patriotic weiner roast on Round Top. Everyone walked and carried his part of the food. To increase the school pep, the boys presented a football wedding. Fred Mitchell was a lovely bride In a royal blue princess gown; his veil of dusky rose curtain scrim was caught In a most fetching coronet of prairie flowers. The groom, Dan Dearen, was dashing in a recently awarded purple and gold jacket. The bride's only attendant was Billy Ches-ney, who chose a printed princess dress and was fortunate to catch the bride's football from which sunflowers were suspended. Little Scooter Carr was adorable in a dirdnl dress and matching hair ribbons as he tossed petals from his football helmet. The ceremony was read by Durward Chapman from the official rule book. With winter in the offing, our thoughts turned to indoor entertainment. In rapid succession came our Thanksgiving table-game party in the home economics living room, the Christmas banquet, the watch party and dance in the Chapman home and the birthday party for Joy in the Atkinson home.
