 i IT STUDENT LIFE From early morning when the flag is raised until the afternoon when it is taken down, Burgaw School is a busy hive of ac- tion, with each student doing his share to make life different and interesting. The Honorable Graham Barden, our representative in Washington, presented the school with a new fifty-star flag this year and a special presentation and flag raising ceremony was held. Everyone's goal all through high school is to receive a diploma. When the Seniors had their first experience trying on their gowns, they realized how close they were to reachingthis goal. The Juniors looked with envy at the Senior class rings, but they know that their turn is coming soon. Study halls,those quiet work centers (!), provide an opportunity for catching up on last minute work before going to class. The library provides many good books to read, research books, and magazines and period- icals for relaxing moments. A very important room in our school is the lunchroom.

■ STUDENT LIFE During Easter weekend both the Senior and Junior classes went to Washington. To raise money for the trip they had many mon- ey making schemes and fund raising drives. Amongthese were rumage sales, bake sales, bar-b-que suppers, a womanless wedding, candy sales, a New Year's Eve party, and others. Washington will never be the same again! Several clubs have initiation programs each year. The Beta Club initiation and the F.H.A. initiation provide added amusements and also let us see our classmates in a com- pletely new light! Another annual event is the day that all geometry students design their Easter hats. With everyone in his finery, geometry sud- denly becomes fun! Fashions play an important part in school life. This year's biggest fashion news was circle pins and London fog jackets. But just so we'd really know what was chick, the F.H.A. girls gave afashion show featur- ing slip-over-sweaters, boat necks, car coats, balloon dresses, an afternoon tea dress, and many more.
