ring time Would all Juniors who ordered class rings please report to the auditorium at this time. This an- nouncement echoed through the halls at 10:00 on December 14. What followed started as general chaos while excitement mounted. Anticipation grew stronger and stronger as the line creeped for- ward. Finally, the moment arrived. A friendly smile greeted them at the desk and asked their name. A few Juniors mumbling something, handing the man a check, and be- ing handed a plastic envelope. Si- lently waiting to be worn, their class ring sparkled as they drew it out of the bag. Now, a senior must be found to place it on the finger. Next, 78 people must turn it, sav- ing the 79 turn for graduation. The ordeal, however, had its good points. Such as, on the 21st turn the wearer received a kiss from the turner. This part proved especially enjoyable for the new owner. This process was enthusiastically re- peated on the 78th turn, doubling the pleasure of new class rings.

the newly weds I ' m getting married in the morn- ing? At school? In the library? Even though it seemed impossible some students could say they actu- ally got married in the Callaway library. These ceremonies were the efforts of sociology classes to prac- tice what they had been preaching. The students performed shot-gun, Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, and military weddings in costume. Ev- erything was carried out to the let- ter, or at least as close as possible in a school library. Of course, none of the ceremonies were binding to the dismay of many a husband seeker. Yet, the atmosphere was present and the day brought only marital bliss to the school. Here comes the bride. Wanye Stover anx- iously awaits his bride with an expression classic enough for a real wedding.
