Juniors are going to have dance
ON Saturday, February 10th. .
We had a grand time. and also
a wonderful turnout at Our, last

all the music the old folks like
and can also play the "jive' we
young 'uns go for! There will be
no admission charged-but there
is a catch-We are making our
profit on what we sell so - when
you come be sure that you did
not eat before hand. There will
be plenty for you to buy wher
you come. Tasty things too.
Dancing will be from 9 p. IN. to
| a. m.
In or!er to make this a real
success we need everyone so put
February 10Th in your little black
books or on your calendar and
don't forget it. 1t is in the Gary
Saxon Hail and all of you know
where that is. SO l will be seeing
you!
We wouldn't mind if you will

Maybe little party of friends
wouldn't be so bad!
