Daily, Lou Ann Hatter and David Cook, Sue Holmes and Dee Terrell, Jacque Eaton and Jim Powell, Norma Mansfield and Larry Adkins, Ann Poulos and Archie Fleener, Nancy Whit¬ low ' and Ray Gilman, and Carolyn Oldham and James Major. DECORATING COMPLETES BUILDING PROCESS Just as important as the trim and decora¬ tion are to a finished building, so are some of the educational “frills” to the education of the high school student. Fun and social events are the “finishing touches” to school life. Some fifteen clubs provide wholesome opportunities to satisfy social needs, but they also make other major contributions to both individuals and the community. Experience in oral and written expression comes through club work. So does practice in giving, as the records of several clubs show at Christmastime. Other organizations pro¬ moted community welfare by putting on safe¬ ty campaigns, helping with fund drives, promoting sportsmanship, and aiding Civil Defense. Looks like Santa brought a big gift, doesn’t it? Mrs. McDonald and Joyce O’Neal put finishing touches on decora tions for the GAA Christmas Dance in the girls’ gym. Haystacks and pumpkins proved appropriate decorations for the Harvest Dance, first big social event of the year.
