For the first time in Palo Alto, ,our yearbook has color pages. The Dolphin also has several other features, such as the colored sports section, the die-cut senior section, and the length. Mr. Burns, our yearbook advisor, and Mr. Cochran, the photography teacher, worked long hours with Mr. Vezzani, the printer, to publish the book. All of the stat? worked hard, but outstanding workers were Bob Geddes, who handled the 7th and 8th grade sections, Paul Wilson, an excellent business manager, Jane Vennard who edited the At Ease section, Sue Kane who did the Classes in Action section, and Roland Mays who was promoted from Sports Editor to Associate Editor in mid-term for his fine work.

Junior Red Cross The seventh grade Junior Red Cross started the year by electing Jackie Puntigham, Pam Williams, Diane Thompson, and Barbara Rup- ple as its ofiicers. A sale of Christmas things was its first project, and this was followed by a candy and cookie sale. Later in the first semester was the enrollment drive, which was very successful. Judy Thomas, Maryann Davis, Pat Milburn, and Barbara Rupple were elected as officers for the second se- mester, during which time there was a cookie sale, and a drive for plant containers and crayons for the Vet- erans' Hospital.
