On September 17, students and faculty participated in the bicentennial celebration of the United States Constitu¬ tion. Students and faculty members showed their patrio¬ tism by dressing either in colonial costumes or in red, white and blue clothing. The cafeteria provided a colonial break¬ fast for the staff and later served colonial foods during the lunch periods. After the breakfast, staff members planted bicentennial trees around campus. Participating in the tree planting are Mr. John Goodnick, Principal Jerry Turner and faculty members dressed in colonial costumes. The costumed teachers are Mr. Robert Hanson. Mrs. Mary Ellen Struze. Mrs. Jean Canale. Mrs. Mary Staley. Mrs. Gussie Tonne. Mrs. Mona Scheibel and Miss Nina Bono.
