. . . and Convocations . . . During the school year many special events arise. Each year at Christmas the Student Council decorates an enor- mous tree in front of the trophy case, and colorful decora- tions are placed around the building for the traditional Christmas parties and dances. This year funds for the convocations were given a boost by a portion of the revenue from the Senior Follies, and this fund will enhance the quality of future convocations. An unusual magic show was presented by Mysterious Brown and his wife, Lillian. Their program was filled with fun and color. Another convocation featured radio tenor Pruth McFarlin, a victim of polio since he was two. Mr. McFarlin is currently heard over WLS in Chicago, Well-liked by the student body, he was given a standing ovation. General Electric gave one of its unusual scientific pro- grams showing many of the wonders that will be common- place in future years. GE emcee makes a sizeable bubble of plastic. Genius Brown never did eat those scrambled eggs, they just disappeared. tBelowj A favorite with the student body-Mr. McFarlin. Good for a program any time-the jazz band: P. Brookshire, P, Haines, D. Sublett and H. Glover. sz'

leaving Behind Contributions . . . Something new has been added! Mrs. Azbell's former office is now a bookstore where students may purchase books, pen- cils, etc. Change to the new might well be a summarizing slogan for this past year, for there have been numerous changes in and arodnd GHS. Several of these changes were apparent as school opened, and others were worked out during the year. The library moved from the top floor to the south end of the main hall, and the school went into the book business, opening its own store in the room adjoining the superin- tendent's office. The year saw the football field-started more than a year ago-completed, dedicated and put ,into use. Not a barren field, it boasted of a substantial green turf, a battery of lights and a score board. Seniors from the Jones school watched the death of their alma mater, and in its place they saw the opening of a new grade school that more than met requirements of all their dreams. Culminating a year's planning, high schoolers saw the opening and operation of a youth center duringthe past year. Changes, changes, and more changes with all being made to point toward a better life during the years spent in the Greencastle system of schools. As I result of the many changes around GHS, last year's study hall is this year's library.
