What manner of man or beast be these Seniors? Despite the small size of the grad- uating class, Homecoming ,7l saw several days of spirited senior antics. Wild West Day brought with it rustlers, cattlemen and several In- dians in various stages of undress. Little participation was noted on An- imal Dayg however, Story Book and Hero Day brought forth fairies, princesses and super-heroes galore. During Color Me Different Day, a goodly amount of ingenuity was displayed in some of the national costumes that graced the halls. Bringing the weekls activities to a climax was the Coronation Assembly Friday emceed by Eli Almo. The assembly made a fine display of organization to the credit of Jac- queline Ryan, chairman.

Mr. and Miss Pep of each class were announced at the beginning of the assembly as follows: sophomores, Kim Hunkeler and Reid Wildonerg juniors, Deby Griffiths and Clell Shaferg and seniors, Cheryl Galte- land and Jeff Dacus. To pay for their peppiness, competition was waged as each boy attempted to make up his partner for the evenings festivities. Seniors were declared winners.
