Show I fbt gait alu ffibant Sunday, February 12, 1961 for and about tho younger sot k sm? Aftugs W AA oils by Melba M. Ferguson SuNNYSIDE, Carbon County Its a big undertaking for teens from the country towns to attend the Model United Nations held each year at University of Utah in Salt Lake City. For instance, students from East Carbon High School who will represent Guana and Belgium at the Model U.N. this April must pay for transportation, lodging and food during the time they are in Salt Lake City which wont exactly amount to peanuts, since the whole class of 26 is going, according to Eugene Grocco, debate coach. But East Carbons representatives will attend in fine style, thanks to the Roaring 20s. Faced recently with the problem of how to finance their trip to the Model U.N., students put on their thinking caps, and Leonard Zamora, 17, came up with a winning idea Something, as he explained, "that the kids would go for. HE SUGGESTED a "Roaring 20s party, an idea that caught fire and had everybody getting into the act-e- ven the parents. Flans went ahead rapidly for a dance and floor show, marathon dance and Charleston contests. Everybody dressed like 1920 flappers and Harold Teens. Sandra Pressett, 17, sat on a piano, a la Helen Morgan, and belted out a blues number, and a line of leggy chorines did a sharp Charleston as part of the floor show. And adding real "Roaring 20s flavor to the scene, Genaro Benavidez, Jr., 16; Nicho Aguayo, 16; Joe Mares, 14, and several others came dressed as gangsters. Joe even sported a long scar along one side of his face, which he explained, when asked, he had made by using glue. East Carbons teens had a real ball dressing and dancing in the kind of clothes their parents well, anyway, their grandparents must have worn in their heyday. husky-voice- d i Charleston line features Sandra Prasset, left, Brenda Stoddard, Rosemary Burdis, Mary Gordon, Marjory Olson and Barbara Sunter at "Roaring 20s" party at East Carbon High.
