Sales and Projects Raise Money Money making projects were important activities of most ofthe clubs in school at sometime duringthe year. The Student Council sponsored the Save-the-Children Drive again this year. Clothes were collected from the homerooms and sent to the Kentucky mountains. Recorded messages from celebri- ties sparked the drive. Live a little. Buy a fruitcake! This was the band's slogan in their annual sale of Texas Manor fruitcakes. By selling fruitcakes to citizens and businesses in the community, the band was able to raise money for supplies. ln two months of hard work, bandmembers sold over 3600 pounds of fruitcake or several thousand dollars worth. Several clubs raised money by having bakesales or candy sales. The Blue Triangle had many bakesales throughout the year. The money raised was used for a scholarship given to a senior mem- ber of the club. Other clubs had dances, rummage sales, and car washes to add to their treasuries. Money flowed freely for good causes.

The highlight of the football season was this year's two-day Homecoming. On a wet September 26th, the parade was the kick-off. This year's parade had a new look. Instead of the mile-long string of students march- ing to town, a more-organized parade represented the school. The parade ended in an all-school pep session on the football field, The ball game with Columbus on Sat- urday provided a climax for students and alumni alike. At half time the score was tied 0-0. The band presented a half-time show depicting sports of each season. To the tune of Auld Lang Syne, queen candidates Cathy Hinkle, Sue Cox, Joann Richardson, Donna Lettellier, Barbara Somes, and janet Vifampler were escorted through an aisle formed by the band. The suspense ended when Mr. Brock announced Cathy Hinkle as the 1959 Home- coming Queen, In the fourth quarter, fate was looking over the Panthers! shoulder. Columbus scored a safety making the score 2-O. After the ball was moved to scor- ing position, Don Warnpler made a last-second grab and caught the pass that scored the only touchdown of the game. With just one second left in the game, the team quieted down long enough to score the extra point, mak- ing the score 7-2, a climax to a perfect day.
