Those taking part included Mary Bryant, Denise Dennis, Loretta Franks, Mary Keen, Beverly Pope, and Lyman Streeter. Various stunts were given by the formerly mentioned committees and their chairmen. A number of exciting games were played in the Senior high gymnasium, under the direction of Howard McClellan and Thelma Graves.
