SE IUHS MAKE HISTUHY Dear Diary, ONIGHT l am going to write down some of the gay memories l have ol' our last Senior Farewell Party. l stood on the threshold of Ufuturen for a few seconds, rang the bell of Hdestinyn, and wallced uncertainty into the re- ception hall. My First impression through the maze of green and gold confetti and balloons was a riotous group of people, each intent on having the best time ever before malcing his farewell to dear old Tracy Hi. I was lirst greeted by gentle Marion Rucllein, spelling wisard, Mary Pombo, and petite and charming Ntarjorie Gelzllzen. Edging my way through the masses into the ballroom, l was confronted by the ideal maid, Elphia HEffieH Sweeney, who directed me to the checlcing room. Our delightful twins, Helen and Hazel Iorge welcomed me with their winning smiles and tlirtatious eyes. Leaving my wraps with the twins, with almost regret, l turned and shouldered my way toward the main staircase. Robert Given. dressed in tails. approached me as l reached the top.

Xvillie was jitter-bugging with Mike Borras, who loolced as stolid as an lndian, and moved his feet in a rhythmic war dance. Their fruitless ellort to stay on their feet caused Gladys Poet and Laura Sousa to double up in hysterical laughter. Nearby, Victoria lwarshall was the center of a group of admirers. ln the closest corner sat Philip Lulu McKinnis, very much bored with the events of the evening because of a certain brunette sophomores absence My attention was then attracted to Everett Tiger Rathjen. who was hurrying to the refreshment booth where Fern lxtitchell and Evelyn Kenner sat pouring out Hawaiian punch to August Mazzanti and latin Goulart. John's eyes were on the near little Figure of Dorothy Reece, whonwas sitting on the sidelines eating up the efforts of lim Greenwood, second semester student body president, to amuse her. Dotys chum, Georgia Peterson, was thinliing of l'7l
