SANDRA WHITE KAREN WOOD Beta Club Sponsors First Snowball Queen And Christmas Dance The Beta Club burst forth with new ideas to bring more enjoyment to the students during the Christmas holidays. In addition to the first Christmas dance the club also sponsored TunstalTs first Snowball Queen and her court. The girls from the senior class were chosen by the Beta Club to run for the title. The students voted in their choice by paying a dime for each vote or either having bought a ticket, they could cast their vote free of charge. The exciting moment came midway during the dance when the crowning took place. Presently Carolyn Carper reigns as Snowball Queen I. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph W. Carper of Danville, Virginia. Her two attendants were Karen Wood, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. K. A. Wood and Sandra White, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Irving White all of Danville.
