At Camden High School, some things are traditional. Every yearjuniors put hours of work into preparing for the all important junior-Senior. Seniors count the days until graduation exercises. Another tradition is the Miss Gold and Black Pageant, sponsored every year by the Gold and Black Staff. Some students feel that these activities have become almost meaningless to the majority. Other students think that the traditions will never die out. avorite Five The five finalists of the Miss Gold and Black Pageant have divided opinions on the subject. After thinking, they made the following comments: Unfortu- nately, I do feel that as the years have progressed, the high school traditions have lost some meaning. I don't feel that the meaning has been completely lost, but much of the enthusiasm is gone. Such traditions have lost their mean- ing to a majority of students, however, there are those who hold on to such ceremonies for the sake of tradition only. Tradition has gone down in some aspects. The two main reasons for the loss of tradition are apathy and bad communication. High school traditions haven't lost their meaning. I try to enjoy all school functions. I feel su re that these traditions will be continued for a long time. -:Q ff -:sf cf 'iff ex-tax-Q-:fx-ex-ex-ess -zzz- cs ez: cs fa 435 j 431 MMM JZZZQMM .

Adding an atmosphere of Christmas to her home, Mrs. Aurelia White puts the finishing touches on her mantel. Taking advantage of some free time a few days before Christmas, Mrs. Vivian Metze does some last minute shopping. vw' v f.

Wrap-Up Christmas crept up on us and caught us unprepared. But the annual Christ- mas parade, school activities, and the confusion of last minute shopping quickly got us into the spirit of the sea- son. The Art Club and the students at the Vocational School used their talents to make floats forthe Christmas parade. Many students, including Band mem- bers, beauties, andthe R.O.T.C. drill teams represented Camden High in the parade. The Chorus presented a pro- gram of Christmas music and Mrs. Pol- son's students make some oftheir own Christmas gifts. Most of the clubs at school had holiday parties, too. Although Christmas lights were turned off early due to the energy crunch, everything still managed to look beautiful. The holidays were shorter, but we packed all the fun and excitement into the time we had. And those of us who worked as sales clerks duringthe Christmas season can testify that even inflation couldn't keep Santa Claus down.
