L ing two such deadly rivals as Penn
Charter School and Germantown Academy
right in the same paragraph. and it's not
because 1 don't know better, but, you see,

night and the G.. A. dance is next Friday,
which, as you may know. is Valentines
Day.
The Penn Charter dance is given by the
Trident Senior Honor Society, which is an
absolutely new school organization. 1t
has taken the place Of fraternities since
they have been abolished at that school.
Only the leaders Of the senior class and the
school are elected to it, so it's something
Of an honor to belong. The dance is to be
held in the Bellevue, the. Rose Garden for
dancing and the musics going to be good,
the South Garden and Oak Room for sup
, per and the Pergola for promenading. The
committee includes Thomas Mikell. Row.

TIME G.. A. dance is to be held in the
u i Assembly Hall at the Academy or
: School House lane and Greene street, Ger
mantown. It's to be a program dance
and as these dances are a tradition out
y there like the worn.down step and the
4 bulletholes in the belfry, it's sure to be a
large party. The officers Of the senior class
who are arranging the affair are: Presi
dent, David Beard; vice president, Francis
Smyth: secretary, John C. Began, anc
treasurer Henry C. L. Miller.
