Balboa High School - Zonian Yearbook (Balboa, Canal Zone Panama)

Association 1 "Hi! I'd like to welcome you to our annual Orientation Day!" And what an Orientation Day! The auditorium was packed with new students-more people attended this year than ever before. And this was only the beginning of the best year the S.A. has had yet. We packed l,OOO students into the, upper gym at the Get-Acquainted Dance. Four bands played, so we had continuous music and no time for rest. A few days later each class had an S.A. assembly. This spurred so many people into buying S.A. tickets that we had 78 per cent of the student body buy them. Shortly after the assemblies, we all piled on the train to go to the Jamboree. Who will forget that ride? Riding hard on the heels of the Jamboree, we had the Inaugural Ball. It was a huge success with a stubborn Bulldog pinata that only Mr. Knick could break. Soon after this, the Bookstore began receiving sweatshirts, bumper stickers, window stickers, pom- poms, bookcovers, pennants, and other articles, all in red and white. With the help of the Bookstore, Mr. Gately, Sponsor, can often be seen around the S.A. Office. The Masses. our Red and White days were widely observed, and our school spirit rose. At press time, the S.A. was planning a Tri-school debate and a Bi-school talent show. We also had the Awards Day assembly and Rally Day to look forward TQ. l 'L Fulk v Secretary Judy House checks attendance while Secretary Cheryl Peterson takes notes during an S.A. Meeting. E A
