To The horror of The sTud-enT, The language departmenT iniTiaTed The idea of speaking only French during French classes. Helping To calm The sTudenTs was The annual Thanksgiving ParTy for all of Mr. Brush's sTudenTs. The fesTiviTies include The usual Turkey decorations and The hiT rock and roll song, Plymouth Rock sung by Michaei Menard, Jack Miller and Dal Levick. In order To widen The scope of The studenTs, The schedule was rearranged so as To ingiude a Wednesday morning assembly period for guesT speakers. These men were part of a semi- nar on differenT occupaTions wiTh each speaker explaining his own profession. The Senior privileges were revived This year wiTh a serene efforT by Mr, Deane and The resT of The faculty To establish a Senior Tradifion. From a long lisT of privileges proposed by The Seniors, only a few were chosen To be saTis- TacTory by The faculTy. Though of dubious value, The seniors could now drink coffee during lunch, have Their own lunch Tables, and have Their own class Tie, which was designed by The arTisTic Bill Messer. The old sTage subsTiTUTed for a real senior shack buT was losT when The bleach- ers had To be erected for The baskeTball season. Probably The mosT imporTanT and popular privi- lege was The senior parking IoT exTending To The fourTh Tulip Tree. ConstrucTion had its ups and downs. DedicaTion of Irwin Field
