The voters had been warned that if the levy should fail, that schools would have to be closed due to lack of operating funds. They appar- ently chose not to heed the ture of their jobs, seniors were concerned about gradua- tion, and many students won- dered about the availability of summer jobs after a late sum- mer dismissal.

Memorial students' spirits were slightly damp- ened as they realized the hol- iday activities that would be absent from their school lives that year. There would be no Thanksgiving or Christmas assemblies, no Christmas trees in the hall and cafeteria, no classroom decorations, no Christmas carols played over the P.A. system, no Christ- mas decorating by the N. I-l. S. , or no French and Spanish
