Girl watching is a recognized hobby and requires much time. Leah Hawkins' fuzzy dog is the center of the girls' attention for collecting stuffed animals was the latest fad. Spring—School? Our ambition was not outer space in the spring of I960 but college space. Fully aware that hitching our wagon to a star was outdated, we planned to hitch our Volkswagen to a Sputnik or a satellite to Venus. And then the snows came! Shortly after Ground Hog Day the newspapers commented upon the relatively snowless winter. A perverse fate remedied the situation and we missed school because of snow February 15, March 2, March 3, and March 9.

Year’s Features February brought the two Senior Days when Seniors take over the school.

Approxi- mately one fifth of the entire student body participated in the production. Meanwhile, the Arts Fair was planned and the pro- jects for the Science Fair began to take shape.

We acclaimed Perry Klein's achievement as reported by the Associated Press and realized the changes that had occurred internationally. President Eisenhower had toured 10 countries abroad, South America, and planned to visit Russia. We remembered that jjeoplc had stopped buying cranberries because of a possibility of cancer. Our minds turned to pleasanter things with the announcement that Princess Margaret would marry Mr. Armstrong-Jones on May 6.
