Mission Accomplished, Sold 3400 Tins One of the first class projects our junior class undertook this year was to sell Christmas candy. For nearly three weeks industrious juniors went from door to door with the hope of selling enough mints to pay toward their senior class trip and senior pictures. After all orders were taken, they waited eagerly for the delivery day to come. Well, soon the day came. The trucks rolled in and delivered the candy, and from there on the juniors ran the show. First the candy was brought into the cafeteria under Mrs. Saylorls supervision, sorted into homerooms, and then into individual piles for each junior. There were thrills and spills as the bell rang and the thousands of candy tins left with their eager owners. With each tin sold for one dollar, the jun- iors made a profit of thirty-three cents-twenty-three cents for the senior trip and class pictures and ten cents for class activities. Surrounded by candy tand other sweet thingsl, Ralph Qbrecht cries out, How are we ever going to get rid of all this. To help him out are Kathy Laux and Sue Breedlove who seem quite amused with the whole situation. After most of the work was over and the candy was ready to leave. there was a little time to relax before final delivery. Here the top salesmen are gathered trying to decide whichiboxes to grab first. From left to right -are Charla Rusche, 88 tins: Pete Morse, 80 tinsg and Bob Harlmg, 82 tins. ati, ggxil -Ax vs. , .i at 1 N 1'

Winter means plenty snow, ice, sleet As autumn wore on leaving us with more evening hours than we knew what to do with, we began look- ing forward to the first snowfall and the winter sports. Of course we never thought of the icy roads, stalled cars and half frozen toes, but who cared - we all had fun. To most of us there just didn't seem to be enough snow this year. The large number of cancelled ski club events was testimony to this fact. However, when the snow fell it seemed that everyone was talking of Grayl- ing, Boyne Mountain and many of the other ski areas up north. One thing was missed by everyone this vear - a day of school missed because of weather. We had plenty of snowy or icy weather during the weekends just bad enough that our plans had to be postponed. However, when the weekends were over, so was that winter weather, and it was back to school again on Monday morning. All in all we really had no spectacular winter storms as did all of our neighboring states. As Febru- ary passed with no results and March came in with its traditional windy weather, our hopes of having some truly winter weather passed as we began look- forward to spring vacation and the last few months of school. Winter has its way of making the most commonplace scenes the most beautiful ones. Here the winding Franklin River gets a new look as we receive the first evidence that wlnter has come. Ice, though it has treacheous characteristics when it is found on highways and sidewalks, easily adds beauty to a bleak winter. Glittering in the sunlight, this tree will be a place of refuge from the sun's rays for many a student in the seasons to come. After the first few snowfalls we didn't see much more of winter except for some occasional light snow with an abundance of ice. This poor pine tree probably likes ice the least of anything. You can almost hear it say, Oh, my achin' branches. 5 Z
