Basketball forms bridge From vacation gaiety to semester changes Christmas thoughts, sounds, and smells underlay the excitement of basketball season, as the FFA sold candy; the cheerleaders raffled a pooch; seniors began plans for the Christmas Ball. Pom pon and majorette halftimes pepped up the basketball games; homemaking classes made cookies, a mountain for the library Open House, lots consumed by the Home Ec. girls. Christmas tunes floated into the classrooms from the band room; KAT CHAT writers caught thespirit and produced a lively Christmas edition. The Wildkats took consolation place in the basketball tournament at Eastern Arizona College; the volleyball girls beat the alumnae in a local contest. After New Year's came semester exams; with second semester, many students changed schedules (no more driver training, no more pom pon-majorette class). The Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomor- row test; a Marine Corps test; the AIT test- all reminded theseniors that high school was nearly ended and plans must be made for the follow-up. 10

As royalty reigns, Musicians work, frosh frolic, library expands Christmas tournament inspires original volleyball costumes. TOP: Cheerleaders cheer or congratulate; RIGHT: Temporary water stoppage creates labor for Hercules. Second semester: end of basketball; step- up in music practice; freshman dance; new library books; spring sports; shots, tests, and vaccinations. Fall and winter week-ends had been domin- ated by football and basketball dates, with volleyball crowding in just anywhere. Now other events moved in to fill the calendar. Joyce Shiflet, FFA Sweetheart, had received a pin at the Christmas Ball, and then a jacket. Randy Thygerson had been king of the GAC Dance in November. Now Doug Damron was revealed at a pep assembly as the Beau of the Future Homemakers of America. During the spring, the library blossomed out with bright-jacketed new books; Mr. Santee drilled students for the February and April festivals; Nurses Waters and Moser went to work to stamp out disease. People got the flu and spring fever; and the juniors got their rings and dreamed up a Prom of pink clouds and loving hearts. 12
