I 1 Negro History Week, Religious Emphasis Week change pace New weeks celebrate interests New trends in student involvement activated various special weeks and days. Unique this year were Negro History Week, Senior Day and Religious Emphasis Week, Students in Negro history classes displayed their original sketches of famous Negroes in the showcase to honor National Negro History Week. In response to recent movements, the SCA sponsored Religious Emphasis Week. The week featured lunchtime music, daily devotions, pertinent bulletin boards and an assembly with guest speakers the Rev. Howard Childs of Birmingham, Mich, and the Rev, John Stevenson of Sharpsville, Penn. Seventy-one days before graduation, students acknowledged the class of ' 71 by granting them privileges such as lunchline and study hall breaks for the day. Swarms swamped school with crude outfits on the grub days. Prizes were given to the three grubbiest. Other breaks in school routine such as the powder puff football game provoked strong participation.
