JUNIOR AND SENIOR PROM
On Thursday, May 16, the Junior
Glass broke the school tradition of a
Junior-Senior Banquet, having instead
a party-dance.
The theme of the evening was
"Gone With The Wind" and,the enter
tainment, decorations, dress and re-
freshments were woven around this
theme.
William Hudson opened the evening
by welcoming everyone to the garden
and dance floor. He invited everyone
to join in dancing and other, entertain
ment, and a Paul Jones was done to
start the dancing.
At intervals during the dancing,
special entertainment was provided
in the garden near the punch table.
The Senior Glass History, Prophecy,
and Will were read by Jane Grey,
Florence Laws and Euneta Butler, re-
spectively. Sevral Juniors presented
a slxit from "Gone With The Wind,
and danced the Virginia reel. There
was also a typical southern medicine
show conducted by Sherwood Ferris
with Bobby and Zed Cherrix as his
negro helpers and there was song
by Barbara Brown and Harriet Cher
rix.
Everyone enjoyed this party and
the Junior Class thought it better
than a banquet since it was less for
NAL.
The Junior Class thanks everyone
who has in any way helped make this
party success; thanks to those who
lent furniture and to Mr.. j. H. Per-
due and Mr.. Paul Jones for the use
of their trucks for hauling decora-
tions, and to Mr.. Dashiell and Miss
Bennett who so kindly acted as lead
ers in our work.

'CORKEY' KILLAM
Gets OFF LIGHT
Driver Finds Small Town
Justice Flowing With
Human Kindness

New Milford, Conn, Feb. 1-(UP)
Morris "Corkey" Kellam pondered
today that the ways Of man are i'll
deed strange and bewildering.
A week ago, Kellan, a 342-pound
diver. was a fugitive, accused of
defrauding merchants out of $65
by promising to dive into Housaton-
ic river from a bridge as q publicity
stunt.
Crowds waited at the bridge for
hours, Sl1ivering in the near-Zero
temperatures, but he didn't show
up. One considerable restauranteur
even had a pot Of hot coffee ready
to thaw him out when he emerged
from the ely waters.
Apprehended at Worcester, Mass,
and returned for trial, Kellam ex-
planned he received only T.25
toward the $75 promised him for the
stunt and he was unable to keep the
date because the river current was
too swift and he couldn't find q
bathing suit to fit him.
He didn't deny he owed former
Judge Myron b. DiSbrow for a
nights lodging while he was in
town.
Townspeople, most OF whom were
among those who were left waiting
at the bridge, cheered madly when
the court nolled the charges last
night.
Later they found him eating at q
restaurant (the one owned by the
thoughtful proprietor who furnished
the pot Of coffee), and presented
him with a purse of $25 and wished
him good luck. They paid for the
meal, too.
Kellam was almost overcome by
emotion.
saThanks a Million" he told his
admirers. That's all I can say"
