The scene of the activities was the Women's Gymnasium. Booths games, dancing, and refreshments, horns, paper caps, confetti and streamers in brilliant colors made the event both a pleasure and a success. A quoit tournament was held between the various classes. Paddie Fagstad carried off the honors for the Juniors. Faculty members present were Mr. Nerhus, Miss Colvin and Miss Laycock. THE JUNIOR PROM The most successful social event of the year was the Prom given by the Junior Class on May 25. Paddie Fagstad was the Prom Manager. Al Vallely, floor manager, Jeanne Fuller had charge of decorations and favors, and Helen Fadden of invitations. The success of the Prom was the result of much effort on the part of those in charge. The Prom began at eight o'clock in the Women's Gymnasium which was beautifully decorated in purple and grey, the class colors. Other things that helped to make the affair the success which it was, were many unique favor dances, Emards orchestra, and the presence of a large number of almuni members with their usual display of pep. The patrons and patronesses were Superintendent and Mrs. C. C. Schmidt, Principal and Mrs. A. H. Kazda, Miss Miles and Dr. H. J. Humpstone, Miss Colvin, Miss Knuz, Miss Laycock, Miss Richardson, and Mr. Nerhus.
