Barbara Bartlett, Prom Queen Letha Barbour, Patsy Filield Junior Prom To decorate the Legion Hall for their an- nual junior Prom last May, the Iuniors chose cedar backgrounds with occasional roses to add bits of gay colors. Music for dancing was provided by Cleve- laudis Orchestra. As the first waltz began. everyone waited more and more impatiently for the highlight of the evening. Then it came! The three finalists in the contest to choose a Prom Queen,', Barbara Bartlett, Letha Barbour, and Patsy Filield, took their places by the orchestra platform. Richard Nash presented each girl with a cor- sage, a gift of the junior Class. Geraldine Davis, who was last yearis Queen,', then placed the pretty white crown on the head of the new queen, Letha Barbour. The Grand March followed, led by the Queeu,' and Class President Richard Nash. Then everyone enjoyed a happy evening of dancing. Christmas Program Our classes became more and more rest- less in December. The Christmas trees and gay decorations distracted our attention. We were eagerly awaiting the afternoon when we could turn on our audio-visual uradioi' and listen to the student body of S. H. S. put on its Christmas program. The script was about Christmases in other lands such as Palestine, England, and the Netherlands. The S. H. S. chorus participated in the pro- gram. Santa Claus arrived to help in the distri- bution of gifts and presents and to wish everyrne a very Merry Christmasv.
