The sophomores had a pleasing variety of stunts for the trusting freshmen to perform. October 17, 1952 The F. H.A. Club sponsored a Harvest Hop tonight in our auditorium. To be original, they charged admission at the rate of 1 cent an inch on your waist measure. Good thing our girls are all slender. October 24, 1952 The eighth grade put on a very successful social. Music was furnished by our Stardusters and refreshments were served in the cafeteria. October 30-31, 1952 Ahh, two whole days off!
