Our school paper and vearltook were in the Capahle hands of Philoniena Silvers. :Xnn Yanko. and Nlarilyn Nliller. Our advisers informed us of the work that would lie needed to finance our yearhook so we opened the footlvall stands. It was work. hut none of us minded it nor would we have missed the fun that went with it. While some of us ran the stands our hovs were out on the gridiron fighting under the direetion of our new eoaehl joseph Colone. We had a good team although the assistance of Clem Corona. who was recovering from an operation. was missed. A 1-hill went through us 'lilianlisgiving llav that wasnit eaused luv the weather hut to the fact that this last game we would participate in as students of B. ll. 5. During Decemher we managed to hoost our treasury to the final goal hy selling magazines and what super-duper salesmen we had!
