Cornstalks and pumpkins appropriately decked the gymnasium at our Hallowe'en Dance on Octoher 28. Everyone had a grand time strutting to the strains of Wzilt Connors orchestra. The JuniorfSenior Prom enjoyed the usual success this year. It was held on May 25, and was colorful and exciting indeed.

Upon entering this unfamiliar type of school life, we had as our advisory teacher Mrs. Price. The idea was conceived during that year of conducting freshman assemblies in the old studyfhall room, which is now the library. This, however, proved unsuccessf ful and was discontinued after a time. There was active participation by this freshman'class in clubs, music, and sports. We had begun to realize what were our privileges and obligations as citizens of a democratic school. The sophomore's advisor was Miss Fitzgerald. Our Sophomore Hop decorations were very effective. The gymnasium was transformed for the occasion into a veritable ship's deck, and Warner Haines' Musicians supplied smooth music. Four of the students who had achieved popularity because of their leadership and abilities were elected officers of our class. They were John Murdoch, presidentg Louis Hyde, vicefpresidentg Betty Moreland, secretary, and Betty Butcher, treasurer. Thus our first two years ended.
