Student Life New ‘Outfits’ Displayed by GAA Members Many new “outfits crowded the halls as the Girls Athletic Association initiation took place. As the old members shouted commands of “fall out”, each girl dropped to her knees and praised the members. New members had to wear exactly what the old members told them and obey them all day. During activity period each girl was officially initiated. Expertly performed, the Cloak and Dagger Clubs presented the play “Life With Father . Lots of hard work and time, not only in the acting but also in the props and outfits, went into the play. Continuing for two nights, November 13 and 14, the play proved successful for everyone.

Student Life Art Department Shows the Christmas Spirit As the Christmas season rolled around once again, students expressed their happiness in many ways. The Art Department decorated the halls with many different Christmas paintings. These pictures were thought up and drawn by the students themselves. Adding a special brightness to the monotonous halls, the pictures were only one of the ways individuals showed their Christmas cheer. Also decorating the halls, several students, taking French, put up a bulletin board in the main hall showing Christmas in France. Showing its spirit, the Music Department presented a Christmas concert on December 13. The choral music classes sang and the school band played many old and new Christmas songs. Exhibiting its Christmas cheer, the SCA placed a tree in the hall and decorated it with ornaments. Homeroom representatives were responsible for having Christmas boxes, to be filled with canned goods, placed in their respective homerooms. Despite many disagreements, school did not let out for Christmas vacation until December 22. Students returned having only thirteen days of vacation instead of the usual two weeks.
