Activities p X Il llliinniu I I l NLE I 'l th' .nnin fgtwfl. 'L On September fourth, the Sophomore Class started the social wheel revolving with a snappy Freshman initiation based on the idea of a recreation park. Donald Drake was master of ceremonies. The Whole student body looked forward to the initiation because no hazing had been permitted the first week of school. The second spoke of the social wheel was created on September 18, when the Freshman Return Dance was given. The dance was enjoyed by everyone who attended. The Rally and Rally Dance formed the third spoke of the social wheel. Seeking to avenge our 6-0 defeat of last year, the freshmen, along with the rest of the student body, prepared a huge bonfire. On the evening of Novem- ber 9, the bonfire, after being sucessfully guarded over the week-end, was lighted. The dance that followed the lighting of the fire was enjoyed by everyone. The social wheel was given another whirl on December 18, when the Christmas Play Pleased Ta Meetchav was presented. The play portrayed a family which had just acquired a lot of money, and a young country hick. 25
