'Napkins stuffed in chicken-wire with care . Twas the night before Homecoming where the floats and the cars and all through the garage, not a creature was stirring not even the Dodge. The napkins were stuffed in the chicken-wire with care, in hopes that through the parade they still would be there. But just an hour before, the activity was hurried, with flying paper and napkins and shouts of, Don't worry! The float will get done, if we stay up all night. We've been here three hours, we'll stay longer, we might have to stay cutting paper, through dawn's early light. But should that then happen, we'll stop, grab a bite, then back to our toils. We'll sweat and we'll strain, until we're all done, then it's back home again. The next day the sun shone on the green practice field were all getting dealed the finishing array of crepe paper and signs, the floats, they were many, and they came in all kinds. From tow-trucks to kids' wagons, twenty-five they all told. from Corvettes to Nashes with slogans quite bold. 'Rockets, Shoot the Moon , was the blue ribbon float made by Thespians, but there were others to boast. Winning in cars, Art Club received first, and after the parade the crowd did disperse to the A.P.T. picnic, from which they did go to the game against Howe, but they clidn't know that during the game, the defeat we would suffer the score was 6-9 but next year we'll be tougher. The half-time activities entertained Ripplites, the Homecoming candidates were just out of sight, Miss Sandra Summers was Homecoming Queen, 'long with Sherman Burdette, who was the King. Homecoming King was new to this year, and the Homecoming dance was soon very near. Traipsing to the cafe, and to the music got down, students danced and they boogied to the great disco sound. But come 11:30, the D.J. had packed, though the students, they pleaded, and said to come back, But D.J.

disappear and rooms move at Broad Ripple Hey, where's the door? I wondered Surely they didn't take down all the doors on the rest rooms, yet as I walked down the halls, more and more doors appeared to be missing. So many things have changed since I graduated last year. I wandered up the second floor by the Main Offices. I stopped in one of the rooms to see a teacher and the room was completely changed. A different teacher smiled. I asked him what had happened, and he told me that the change in several of the room locations had confused not only me, but many of the other students as well. He informed me that the Student Activities Center was placed in the Yearbook Office, which moved to the Newsmagazine Office, which booted out the Career Center. The Career Center personnel acquired the Dean of Boys office which moved to the Security Office, Security then moved to an unoccupied storage room opposite the present site of the Career Center. Miss Barbara Vargo, counselor, moved to the office of the Social Worker, Mrs. Mary Hogg, who then moved to Floom K in the Main Offices, and Mr. James Dozier, counselor, was moved to a room in Shortridge High School fMr. Dozier received a promotion as Director of Guidance at Shortridgel. While listening to all this, I noticed that everyone was sitting in alphabetical order. That wasn't fair, now nobody could sit next to a friend and talk during class. I couIdn't get over all the changes -the new teachers and security guards, Homecoming Queen AND King, Sophomore class officers and the Freshman Cabinet. Don't be surprised if sometime, somewhere, somebody comes up to you and says, That wasn't here last year, was it? lT'S SLOW GOOD . . . An old method to dispense catsup, but new to the school, was the distribution of it in packets. Brad Cooper tests the ease with which one of the packets opens, while Randy Brack observes from a safe distance. 14! What's New D O O NEW COAT. . .
