Lakeland Youth News By Terry Auker

We had a very disappointing semi-formal dance. When first I received word that Roosevelt Johnson and the 7 C’s couldn’t come because Roosevelt had the ■ flu, but then the other scheduled dance band didn’t show up. I’m very sorry it turned out that way ’cause every one looked so nice. There will be a dance Saturday night, Jan. 4, featuring the old Royal V group, now called the “Endless Summer.” Dance will be from 8 until 11 p.m. As you can see, our ice skating rink is being put in, so bring your skates and maybe we can play some hockey. We hope everyone had a real Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
