Need we say more? g n y e e Sparkling, Friendly Merry Tippets Hits Spotlight d Yld Cat April 17, 1953 . . . apjpeneb ur Annual Crabtttons? by Letty Lou Lant High traditions have become an important part of our school lives. We have many of these; some of which are practical and some, maybe, that are not. A tradition we have clung to, perhaps with good reason, is that of an annual Junior Prom. But has this dance lost its significance at B. Y. through the years ? seems It like the big affair in the eyes of the students, used to be the Junior Prom. A date for this was at the peak of any girls dreams and desires. This was the affair that the fellows really saved their money for. But now whats happened ? Are there too many little affairs pushing our annual traditions right out of the limelight? And then again, perhaps it could be that there just isnt any school spirit. The lack of interest this year for the Junior Prom lies mainly in the sophomore and senior classes. We can see from the enthusiasm that the juniors have their eyes set on this big affair tonight. But wait a minute, what about the annual affairs that arent sponsored by the juniors? It looks like each class has been lacking in some way of giving its full support to our socials. Am I not right? This writer could put it down a million times that something is Hits lacking, that there just isnt any enthusiasm for our annual traditions.
