Student Life Junior Class sponsors Grub Day for income Bell-bottom pants, sunglasses, and floppy hats dominated the halls on the morning of November 21 as students paraded through the school. The Junior Class was again sponsoring “Grub Day” to raise money for the prom. Each student who participated in the event paid 50 cents to “do his own thing.” Although the teachers did not dress for the occasion, many commented in favor of “Grub Day.” Students determined the success of this money-making project. The Junior Class raised $277. The entire student body witnessed two assemblies on drugs and drug addiction. Cathy Crawly gave an account of three years of her life wasted by taking drugs. Miss Crawly warned the students of the dangers involved. Officers Jack Hall and Hugh Elwood showed a film stressing the worthlessness of taking drugs. The speakers allotted time for questions from the audience. Old members tapped forty three students into the National Honor Society during a very dignified assembly November 26. A refreshment period followed the assembly for old and new members and their parents. HARD FACTS— Inspectors Hugh Elwood and Jack Hall explain the problem of drug addiction to students. NEW DRESS CODE— James Rogers and Lynne Golds- borough express their individuality on “Grub Day.” SYMBOL OF KNOWLEDGE— Secretary Rebecca Bailey pins NHS emblem on new inductee, James Payne, during tap-in service November 26 held in the auditorium. 14
