Our grade has had two very successful dances. Our net profit from hoth totals 36700. Our Hnal dance was held on May 24th. A science show was sponsored hy us early in the year. Although it was not too great a success, all memhers of the class took part. After all, it was the first experience in stage fright to most of us.
