(Inte lolles (above), san the nal Newsreel) - MANY ATTEND PROM OF CLASS OF 1929 The Junior Prom, given last night in the Elks' Hall by the Class of ‘29 of the Juneau High School, was one of the nicest dances of the year, and was popu lar with Juneauites, judging from the large number present Many dancers were on the floor early in the evening, most of whom remained until almost the end of the program. The feature of the affair was a dance number by Miss Harriet Holman, who ap peared on the stage shortly after 11 o'clock. She gave two num bers, both of which were well applauded. The Moonlight Serenader formed unusually well for large number of Juneau ung er set who attended. Punch was rved during the dancing anl intermissions The hall was decorated in the class colors most gaily. The hall was prettily decorated in red and white, class colors. Streamers were extended from both sides of the hall, the bal cony and the stage, across the ceiling. One each side wall were several small black shields each with a red “J” upon it and white and red streamers trailing. Stones from Every Land CANON CITY, Colo.,, March 3-— Stones, fossils and petrified wood collected in every continent by Dall DeWeese during half a cen- tury of globe-trotting form a f place in Canon City's new city hall. DeWeese had planned to use the unusual collection, so fraught with memories of his travels, for the hearth in his own home, ba later he felt “this idea was very selfish.” So he gave the firo place to the city to adorn the musenm of the $60,000 municipal building. He hopes that children of to- day and of years to come may find geology and history made in- teresting by the “international hearth.” €rystals from Australia, petri fied wood from Asia, bright stones from Kurope, dinosanr hones from South America, shark’s teeth from Africa and many samples of geolog formations in the United States are assembled in the fireplace, ———-ee Advertising aiways pays. the columns of The Emnire.
