Price Five Cents ' Shags Escort Men-Fol-k to Dream Castle Promenade Girls Invite 600 Best Boy Friends To Yearly Dance Sterling Orchid Ring9 Presentation Punctuates Intermission By Julie Spitz Amid shadows of castle spires and bowers of roses, approximately 600 couples will dance at the "Dream Castle Prom," theme for this year's eleventh annual Girls' Dance. The affair is to be celebrated tomorrow evening between the hours of 9 and 12 p. m. at South high school. The boys' gym is being converted into a life-siz- e castle court yard completely surrounded by masses of red and white roses. At the east wing of the room will be a towering white castle reflecting alL the rainbow's colors. This illusion is being created by multi-colore- d floodlights playing on the castle walls. Directly behind the palace a 4 foot mirror-ed moon will revolve, sending its illuminating rays on the dancing couples below, while from above, a canopy of silver stars dot the sky. Intermission Features Waltz Intermission, which is entitled "Prelude to a Dream," features a special waltz created by mem-bers of the girls' gym department and performed by South girls. In addition, the porfessional dancing team of Marie Fish and Max Croft will present their own original ballroom dances. Punctuating the evening s enter-tainment will be the announcement and presentation of the "wishing ring" couple, selected through a special drawing of numbers. A sterling silver orchid ring design-ed especially for this occasion by "Joseff" of Hollywood will be awarded to the couple. No details concerning dance pro-grams are being-- given out for pub-lication, but SHAG officers Elaine Hunsaker and Bette Figgat mu-tually agreed, "they differ from any ordinary programs and great-ly compliment all the other decora-tions." .Refeshments Will Surprise Mary Hansen and Pat Searle nooded their heads in approval and added, "refreshments are a sur-prise, too." They will be served in room 219 where a large sphere of bubbling blue water will supple-ment decorations in the gym. Music for the evening's dancing is to be supplied by Mert Draper and his orchestra. As at other formal school af-fairs, corsages are banned at the dance and must be checked at the door.

Cubs Officiate In City Posts For One Day Introduced to the "ropes" of modern city government last Wed-nesday were three South Cubs who delved into the city books and came out with the knowledge of how city fathers do their work. Riding the wagon for Police Chief Reed E. Vetterli was Dee Lowder. The mathematical end of business was handled by Mickey Gallacher, replacing city auditor L. E. Holley. From student prexy to Commis-sion of Public Affairs and Finance was the road traversed by Stan Smith who let Commissioner Oscar W. McConkie look on. The entire feature was part of a special plan establishing "govern-ment by youth" for "Boys and Girls week." 184 Southerners Await Music Fest One hundred eighty-fou- r South high school students, members1 of the A'Cappella choir, orchestra, and glee clubs, have joined stu-dents from city schools in final re-hearsals for the annual Music Festival, slated for April 4 to 8 in the South auditorium. Approximately 34 orchestra members will become part of the 102 piece high school symphony orchestra, according to Armont Willardsen, director of the South musical unit. All 75 members of the A'Cappel-la choir will appear on the pro-gram, which is based on the theme, "America, Land of Promise." Girls' glee club members from South number 45, in comparison with West's 20 members and East high school's 40. Thirty boys from South, 35 from East, and 20 from West will com-pose the boys' chorus. All figures are approximate, George H. Durham cautioned. Stenos Head Jobs Listing Tops among the 58 vocational courses presented by members of the Kiwanis club at South, April 28, was stenographic work, the choice of 238 girls. Nursing as a career ran second place, with 125 girls electing this course. Sixty-tw- o coeds preferred homemaking, while 23 wanted to become teachers. Boys showed a preference for aviation work, with 190 listing it as a first choice. Ninety-eigh-t chose to become aviators, 54 me-chanics, and 38 designers. Other fields which showed a marked popularity with the boys were en-gineering, civil services, account-ing and bookkeeping. Kiwanis members, experts in their individual businesses and oc-cupations, conducted the meetings to give students a more compre-hensive view of jobs open today. Faculty Sits in As Ration Board For Uncle Sam Faculty members of South high worked overtime Tuesday and Wednesday in order to assist wholesale, industrial, institutional, and retail users of sugar who were required to register for the new rationing program. High ' schools and teachers throughout the state participated in this registration, which is said to be the largest paper job that the nation has ever undertaken. Consumers will register on May 4, 5, 6 and 7, to obtain the ration stamps which will enable them to buy a limited amount of sugar. Now We Know! Attendance Forces Confession-Gi- rls Prefer Morticians! If statistics prove anything, over 150 girls at South high school are seriously contemplating entry into the mortuary business. Statistics compiled last Tuesday after the Kiwanis vocational guid-ance classes indicated that during the two classes conducted for fu-ture morticians, nearly 190 girls were in attendance. Baffling to school authorities was the fact that during sign-u- p week, a sum total of ten people registered for classes in the "em-balming business." Of these ten, only two rated it their first choice. Reason for the astonishing in-crease in lady morticians was 19 year old Fred J. Farmer, instruc-tor of the class. The majority of the girls agreed that he was "very good looking." This state-ment gives an answer to the big turn-ou- t. Scribe Garners Rating Scores tabulated from the Asso-ciation's analysis of student news-papers found the South Scribe re-ceiving second honor rating for a publication of its type. Annual's Staff Silent Yearbook editors definitely dis-closed this week that the annual would not come out on Lagoon Day. They did not, however, tell when it would be circulated. |
