Spirit halls return After not having class spirit halls last year, many students were happy to see the come back this year. Each class was assigned a hall to decorate in support of the Bulldogs. The seniors were the only class with experience in spirit halls, but the junior class came through with a winning hall filled with “ten little Warriors. The Basketball Bump was held on the Saturday preceding sectionals in the cafeteria. Students danced to the music of “White Rhye. This dance had originally been scheduled to be a turnabout, but due to popular demand, it was changed so anyone could come with a date or by himself.

Finally, after senior ditch day and turning in all their books, commence¬ ment evening had arrived. The diplo¬ mas were distributed and speeches given and as a grand finale, a loud cheer was given by the graduates as they turned their tassels. 16
