taking advantage of the spacious
gym and the well-equipped recrea-

The Junior prom took place
early in May, while the Sophie

well attended by students and fac

Juniors decorated the gym in hues

to the Junior class and their splen-

scene, it was enjoyed by many
groups.
The weekly Wednesday night
bingo is very lively, due to Ann

winner, with Mrs. Knode running
a close second. The cigarets, paper
napkins, and glassware do not last
long when they attend. Anyone
is most welcome to join our bingo

in the park. Mrs. Ayers, club
