Senior Hop
Coming On
June 10th

Seniors are preparing for the big
geSt social event of their careers, the
annual dance which is to be held on
Friday evening, June 16, in the high
school gymnasium. Next to COM
mencement the senior hop is the event
which every fourth year student looks
forward to with zest. and this years
affair promises to be one of br1lllance.
Plans are being promulgated by COM
mittees under the direction of Milton
Vreeland, class presid ent, to make the
hop the gala event of the year.
The senior class officers. David
Monahan, Dorothy Whitney and Gene
SENEGAL are coop Grating with Miss
Margaret Kelly, the faculty advisor,
in all arrangements pertaining to the
dance. ConSi derable discussion has
developed during recent meetings or
the class concerning retaining a suita-
BILE orchestra. A number of the Sc
niors are of the opinion that the af-
fair is of sufficient prominence to de-
the first magnitude. With the class
treasury in excellent condition owing
to the remarkable success of the pro-
duction of Clarence" those in
best of orchestras should not be hired
for the occasion. In any event a first
class orchestra, perhaps a New York
organization. will furnish the strains
for dancing.
No decision has been reached re-
the occasion, although it is rumored
that tucks will be in vogue for the
boys, while the girls Will adorn them
selves in evening attire. The season.
able creamer will find favor with
many of the male students. Like
junior prom, the senior affair will
be of a seni-formal nature.
The committee in charge Of deco
rations plans to adhere to the strict
est originally in the scheme of
decorati ting the gymnasium. The class
colors, green and gold will predomi-
nate, it is sure, although the COM
plete plans are being kept quiet. The
committee in charge is planning sew
eral new wrinkles in the decorating
line, and many surprizeS are in store
for the nerry-makers.
