We won seventh place and an award of $50. At the start of the 1956-57 school year the Pow-Wow staff was reorganised as a self-supporting organization. This was accomplished through the sale of subscriptions plus the balance carried over from last year's award. Also, the staff sponsored a faculty-staff, costume basketball game with all procedes going to pay the expenses of putting out a paper. We sold il5 subscriptions to our paper, and we feel we have had a very successful year. Standing: N. Cecil, N. Eraerick, N. Coon, M. MeLouth C. Pacey, Mr. Williams, Seated: T. Lowry, D. Smith, J.
