H. S. But of course, it wasn’t long until we got into the swing of things. Some of us played musical instruments in Jr. Orchestra and others in Jr. Band.

We were represented on the Cutlass staff with three reporters and another classmate was a drum majorette in the band for two years.

Our class members also could be found taking part in various other activities such as: writing articles for the Cutlass and Buccaneer, dis- cussing the school problems in the Student Senate, patrolling the hall as Student Patrol members, blending our sweet voices in Mixed Sr. Prom was most thrilling
