More Traditions Abandoned CHRISTMAS The gay ring of laughter, secret parties and the exchange of holiday greetings; they all symbolized Christmas at Dallas High. The traditional celebrations of Christmas were largely ignored, as students were kept busy with studies and athletics. Several classes had secret parties where gifts and goodies were exchanged in keeping with the season of goodwill. A Christmas assembly was not held; instead Santa Claus visited the pep assembly and distributed candy canes to Dragon fans. With the threat of fuel and power shortages; Dallas High took a more conservative look at traditions and found that they weren't necessary to experience the joy of Christmas. Christmas 21

Music Makers ART CLUB Sponsoring three dances brought the reputation of music-makers to the Art club. Advisor, Mrs. Pat Baker and President, Walt Best, encouraged members to participate in art-oriented activities but were limited because of the reduction of club meeting time brought on by the energy crisis. Doughnut sales, cake walks and concessions provided funds for the annual spring art tour of Portland and a steak dinner at the Red Barn. Open club membership allowed artists to share a common interest. Art club president, Walt Best, letters the wooden front of the Distributive Ed school store. 20 Art Club UBIK guitarist performs at the November 30 dance sponsored by Art Club.

“Brains” Revise Constitution HONOR SOCIETY Constitution revisions and an unstructured program typified the changing honor society format. Members began the year by deciding to eliminate officers and challenged everyone to become involved. A major revision of the constitution took place as the desire for membership became necessary for installation. The fall tapping was cancelled and meeting time was used for discussion on the many alterations. Advisors, Mr. Frank Kettleson and Mr. Ed Jones provided ideas and encouragement as members sought a more workable program.
