New faces were added, all looking fine, For Freshmen, when totaled, revealed fifty-nine. One class thought themselves nifty and tnrifty, Sophomores came up with an even fifty. The Juniors were jollyg on fun they did thrive, They added their share of fifty-five. Then came the mighty, the ones with the drive, For forty-six Seniors had finally survived. The faculty looked the same as before, Maybe leaner and tannerg they walked through the door No new faces and names to be learned, Until in November, when Mr. Cowgill we earned. OCTOBER Seniors started preparing for graduation By already ordering their invitations. The college-bound Seniors were getting no rest They were too busy taking college entrance tests, Moaning and groaning was heard loud and strong For the six weeks had ended, it flew by like a song!

Again the photographer came to take annual pictures, Putting together various and sundry mixtures. The F. H. A. girls had an October night meeting, While F, F.

NOVEMBER In their play Mumbo Jumbo , the Juniors did their bestg While the Seniors were studying for their ACT tests. Our basketball boys started out really great, For beating Herscher we surely will rate. School was dismissed for Thanksgiving recess, 'Twas a time to praise God and show thankfulness, JANUARY Christmas vacation again comes to an end So back to school all students begin. New Year's resolutions were planned and fixed With all working toward a better nineteen sixty-six, No better way to start this new season Than by settling down to study and reason. The F. H. A. , their second bake sale did holdg In hopes of achieving more needed gold, Our Wildcats decided to start on a winning spree, But lost to the Rams and Coments who did not agree. And so a lull in activities is provided here All studying for semester exams which they fear, Students put aside the time on studies they had spent And looked eagerly forward to the county tournament. Although we lost the tournament and did not gain our dream, Gary Brown was chosen ninth for the All-Star team. To protect us from harmful bacteria and unsightly spots We all received our immunization shots, tc Q 'neu DECEMBER We did lose to Crescent on December third Although quite a fighting battle was heard, Many college-bound students were choosing the college right On the Eve of December sixth, County College Night. Betty Crocker tests were given--December 7 the date, Joyce Whitson, our winner, really did rate, At our Homecoming game we again met our fate, Our opponent was Sheldon, our chance a future date.
