Wildkats end Super sports season, plan holiday calendar October slid into November and in spite of holidays for teachers' convention, Veteran's Day, and Thanksgiving, the calendar was as packed as at any time all year. Volleyball season ended, leaving the Kittens in charge of the district trophy. Parents and girls celebrated with a banquet at which theseniors bade atearful farewell to team- mates and presented a 25-year trophy to their beloved Coach Clothier. Football season likewise ended on a tri- umphant note, when the Kats won the B East trophy. Homecoming honored moms and dads, the school's first football team, and student royalty. Miniature floats and the band's halftime performance added color. Seniors ordered graduation announce- ments and began planning for the Christmas Ball. On frosty mornings students crowded into classrooms and the library to talk and read the news. S.Nez, M.Archuleta, D.Montoya, A. Robles occupy one table in the library, where many check up on comics, horoscope, sports—sometimes even the news!

Initiation, Halloween Step-up excitement of October calendar After the fair, report cards threatened, and students did some studying. With football games each week-end, the band played and marched daily, and the pep crews worked to perfect their routines. Freshman initiation, directed by the seniors, produced weird costumes and provided an afternoon's fun for grade and high schools on a perfect October day. White sheets metamorphosed into ghostly garments so witch Sherry Rich ins could lead a troupof ghosts in an eerie dance at the Clifton football game Oc. 30. The hours of pasting strips of paper together and using quarts of paint for Wildkats for the teams to tear through ended when Mary Jane Arrington and students painted a fierce Kat on canvas, cut a door in it, and taped it lightly shut. Now the big boys could rush through repeatedly; the little boys would no longer roll and scuffle in the scraps.
