They sat in homeroom groups in the boys ' gym to cast their votes. This election went hand-in-hand with the gov- ernment classes in preparing students for in- telligent voting. Among the noon hour activities of many was the playing of ping-pong in the girls ' gym. Several players were always in line waiting for their turns to play. Most of them were there about every day. The juke-box was avail- able at anytime during noon hour; and as soon as one record would end, another would begin. If a student wished to study, he could go to the library during lunch hour. If not, he could go outside and enjoy the company of his friends. Pat Brown is one of the student assistants who helps to check-in students who were absent.
