COLLECT A MOUSE Each year Berlin High seniors provide a warm welcome for incoming freshmen. Early plans for Welcome Day are the selection of little brothers and sisters and the establishment of freshman dress. This year the freshmen were requrested to dress-up as Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse. On Welcome Day, September 26, 1980, most seniors took their little brothers and sisters out to breakfast. At breakfast and throughout the rest of the day, the freshmen were asked to sing songs and perform different tasks for the seniors. During the school day the freshmen and seniors watched the movie, Support Your Local Sheriff. After the movie they all enjoyed a picnic lunch and play day activities on the school field. Senior Court was held at seven o'clock that night in the gym. Senior punk rockers tried and convicted the freshmen for crimes against the Class of 1981.
