THE YEAR AT A RevieTN or Top Events At the seniors ' western-style winter carnival, The Last Chance, activities included every- thing from card-throwing to basketball-shoot- ing to strength-testing to the ever popular pie- throwing. A new feature this year was a free entertainment program. Profits topped $250 for the scholarship fund. The seniors presented their traditional Thanks- giving service with one new innovation. This was in the form of a short talk on the sig- nificance of the holiday presented by Ron Du- Vall. Prayers, hymns, and readings rounded out the program. As the result of a telephone canva.ising of the entire school the night be- fore, the food baskets were fuller than ever in preparation for their donation to a children ' s nursery.

COLLEGE HIGH Ten all-school dances were held this year. As usual, kings and queens were voted in, boosters told crazy tales, refreshment stands icere mobbed, and students maintained a safe danc- ing distance from chaperones. The most unique social event of the year was probably the an- nual Sadie Hawkins dance where most par- ticipants wore Bermuda shorts. The best- dressed couple is shown here. Football games drew large crowds this year, particularly when played at home on Sprague Field, with the new College gym presenting an imposing backdrop. Students, parents, and teachers took pride in the team ' s performances, and also downed large quantities of hot dogs and cokes. Two of the scenes shown here are of the McBurney and Collegiate games, the former, in particular, being a real highlight of the year.
