Wbruar February, a time for companionship and music which brightened even the dreariest of winter days. Sharp winds pierced our clothing and gave us a chill, but when our thoughts turned to St. Valentine's Day a warm glow appeared from within. To celebrate this month, the student council sold carnations to those in love or those simply infatuated. Different colored carnations, signifying different relationships, were delivered on Secret Admirer's Day. Music came from our hearts during this month, but it also came from other sources. To some the sound of a basket- ball dribbling was music to the ear. Musical instruments, however, brought the most pleasing sounds to most people. Students participated in the IMEA State Music Festival and proved their high quality talents. 12!Introduction Above left.

Secret Admirer's Day provided the opportu- nity for the expression of one's feeling. Jim Roux demonstrated his caring for Molly Phe- lan with a pink carnation.
