Queen Sally Moore and King Larry Iiampson at the Get-Acquainted Hop From the beginning of school in the fall and throughout the school year, the students enjoy many dances. After football games, informal dances are held in the gymnasium. During basketball season sock hops attract students to the Armory on nights after home games. Special attractions at some of these dances have been mystery melody contests, dancing contests, talent shows, and other types of amusement to add variety. DANCES A gathering place for high school stu- dents is the Y. M. C. A. Hub on Saturday nights. Dancing is a weekly feature which gathers boys and girls alike to this student center. Besides these many informal dances which are held throughout the year, We have a Christmas Formal and a spring Prom. Both of these are big events and are in prepara- tion for many months in advance.

SCHOOL PRESENTATIONS The cast of the all-school play, t'Headin' for the Hills School presentations are an important part of the life of S. H. S. students. Each year the speech department sponsors one all- school play. There is no tradition as to what type of play this should be, and as a result we have witnessed comedies, melodramas, and hill-billy plays in the past few years. At the present time efforts are being made to build up the speech department presenta- tions. Other groups which provide activities for many throughout the year are the Glee Clubs. These groups present the annual Christmas assembly program. In the spring of the year the more experienced singers pre- sent an operetta. These activities are the result of much hard work on the part of the students, but the pleasure and satisfaction received are re- warding. 4 1 Scene from the Q Christmas program presented by the Girls' Chorus
