FRESHMAN INITIATION Thursday afternoon, September 9, at Clear Creek, the Freshmen received their final degree of initiation, showing cleverness for many things of which heretofore they had been unsuspected. The girls were all given famous school girl complexions, their hair being done in many becoming fashions. In order to start something they introduced the stunning style of gingham gowns and knee boots. The high school students gathered about the bonfire to be en- tertained by the “Little Green Frosh.” The program was indeed enjoyed by everyone. Everyone agreed that they were welcome in High. FRESHMAN RECEPTION The Freshmen were cordially invited to attend a reception given in their honor by the Westwood High School student body. The new students were made at home by giving them a dance. It is considered one of the best parties of the season. STUDENT BODY PARTY October 2, 1926, the Westwood High School student body entertained the Redding football team at a dance and feed at the grammar school gym- nasium. The hall was decorated in Redding’s colors. Everyone reported a good time. Both the Redding and the Westwood boys are hoping they can meet again next year. JUNIOR AND SENIOR BUNCO PARTY On the evening of December 7th, 1926, the Junior and Senior dases gave a bunco party. After an hour of playing bunco an hour was spent in dancing. Light refreshments were served and everyone adjourned feeling that the even- ing had been well spent. STUDENT BODY PARTY The student body of the Westwood High School held a dancing party in the Grammar School gymnasium on Friday, January 7. Refreshments were served at twelve o’clock. A good time was reported by all. GIRLS’ STAG Friday, January 16, was the one night the girls of Westwood High School were looking forward to. After all suits, ties and hats were bought, borrowed or stolen the weird night arrived. At eight-thirty the sheiks and their girls came strolling in. When the Mark brothers entered, all the girls hearts were aflutter, then in came Tom Brown, the world’s heartbreaker, and an 'nawful line he did carry. The happy crowd enjoyed dancing until eleven-thirty, when Thirty-three

there was a mad scramble for the right girls for supper. It was a new thrill for every girl present to have for her escort a collegiate, which is only an an- nual experience. On March 3, 1927, after the last of the girls’ basketball games, everyone adjourned to the parlors of the church where a banquet awaited them. Speeches were given by the hostess. Miss Neill, and the captains of the various teams. After the banquet was over, the girls felt that they had been well paid for their hard work. During Easter vacation the Junior class held a bunco party in the Masonic Hall. Everybody was full of pep and had a good time. Bunco was played until ten and then a delicious supper was served. On April 8, 1927, the Senior class of Westwood High decided to have a party so all the old Fords of the class were gathered up and away we went. The Fords behaved well and we all arrived at the Gun Club safe and sound but hungry, so the Seniors' Delight was served, or otherwise, spaghetti. After supper baseball was played and the Red Socks won. Dancing was then in favor, so we danced the latest steps; namely the Broom Dance and the Vir- ginia Reel. The snow had been piling up, so not having very many eats left, and not wishing to get snowed in we left. But the snow proved too much for the Fords and a little elbow grease was needed to help them up the steep grades. On arriving home everybody declared this to be one of our best parties. The air is full of secrets There's whispering everywhere, The girls are joined in serious groups There’s mystery everywhere. Mine will be pink,” but don’t you tell; Mine’s green and flowered—too sweet.” I'm going to have a sport,” says one “And wear it on the street.” No mere men folks appreciate The study deep and long.
