Even as our junior formal dance was the last one to be held in the old schoolf' so our Senior Ball, Winter Fantasyf, was the first formal dance in the new multi-purpose room of the new school building. It was a fantasy of shades of blue, con- trasted with silvery-white, and was held the first Saturday in December. An estimated sixteen seniors attended. Senior portraits, cards and announcements were ordered in December to make the month a memor- able one, and served to bring us another step toward graduation.
