TL gocia wi Sages have declared that all work and no play makes dull hoys and girls. .lack and jill VVyandottc need have no fear of this particular fate. for with the present schedule of school parties they have plenty of opportunity to play. The first eddy in this year's social whirlpool was the Dramatics Cluh dance which was given at the Plaza Hall, Novemher 18. With shining faces fhappy, not in need of powderj and lightly tripping feet, the dancers enjoyed the evening. Yes, there was much competition for the title of Mrmst Graceful Couple, hut 'Super Fudge-' Blessman and Scatterhrain Green were unanimously judged the winners. Proudly they hore their title home when, after three hours of fun. the crowd dispersed. Ixiusic, dancing. turkey. cranherry sauce, the scent of gardenias and roses, gay voices, laughter that was the Kay flee foothall hanejuet. It was held at the Hotel Continental the evening hefore Ratner's Thanksgiving Day. and hy the great Uorgonis head. there were never more gorgeous for' mals and hrand new haircuts congre' gated in one plaee, The dinner itself 311 hy Hd7'7'Z'6f MCCILTIB was paradise for a hungry soul fnot, however, in the sense of physical nourishmentj. Wlieii the menu was exhausted the speakers of the evening were heard. Harold Kalousek, pres' ident of the Kay Cees, was the jovial toast master. Principal Vsfellemeyer glelivered the address of welcome, and Nflr. Schlagle, superintendent of the Kansas City, Kansas schools. gave the response. Next CofCaptains Evans and Kaminski reviewed the 1939 foot hall season. After Coach Ellis had made his letter recommendations the team elected next year's cofeaptains- - Tiny Channell and Flap 'lack Vargon. The final talk of the evening was made hy Earliest Melil. Then with a rousing cheer. led hy Roy Larson, the first half of the great event ended. The second half, everyone danced. That is, everyone hut the foothall players. Only a few of the gridiron heroes hraved the dangers of the thoroughly waxed floor. Still, in spite of their desertion, the hall was very well filled. Indeed. Mr. and fxlrs. Bergman were the only couple who could always see where they were going. For two hours the orchestra played and the hanquet guests, generf ally speaking, danced. Then, like all good things, the long awaited Kay Cee celehration came to a close. In the excitement of giving a party the first of Decemher, Mr. Jensen's dehaters forgot to worry ahout the railroad situation for an entire even' ing. Harriet Smith was their hos' tess, and like the Old woman in thc shoe, she had so many guests that she didn't know what to do. The partyfers opened the fun hy singing Old IVlacDonald Had a Farmi' under the leadership of that teafdrinking maestro, Bert Overcash. Then Coach Jensen took over the office of chief game thinkerfupper, and mirth prosf 'wered in his hands. After a strenuous session of Concentration, refresh' ments were served, and Kenneth Prin' gle displayed great possihilities for fu' ture piefeating contests hy devouring eleven sandwiches. At eleven o'clock everyone regretfully wended his way home. And so closed this semesteris social whirl at Vfyandotte. But. don-t forf get. we'll all he looking forward to more good times next semester.
