The old dcgs of the Class of '50 came up with some new tricks for the Senior Ball held May 6 in Memorial Gym. Orchids imported from Hawaii were presented to each lady attending the dance, and the decorations enhanced by indirect lighting were acclaimed the most outstanding of the year. Memorial Gymnasium was turned into a tropical paradise of blue orchids by sophisticated senior planners under the general co-chairmanship of Ken McCormack and Jean Pugh. Rosemary Fitzgerald and Clarence Johnston handled decorations; Marv Washburn, tickets; Valeta Hershberger and Sue Beardsley, invitations and prog-rams; Elmer Buoy, clean-up; Orval Hansen, publicity; and Morgan Tovey, Jack Lein, Mary Jane Breier and Lou Driggs took charge of scenes. Jim Farmer, Stan Tanner, Betty WocxJ, Don Smith, and Dick Boyle worked on the decoration committee.
