The Principal and his secretary and their office aids do the best job possible keeping order in the hustle and bustle. We're lucky to have a bookstore where we can get all necessary supplies for all classes from mechanical drawing to art. We can even purchase extra books.

In the first of November, basketball became the uppermost subject in everyone's mind. Enthusiasm reached a fever pitch by the night of our homecoming game against an old rival, the Redkey Wolves. The going was rough, but it only marked the beginning vic- tory in a tough-scheduled season. Remember how we cheered for our Speedcats through the good and the bad times? Soon we took a recess from our studies for Christmas vacation. With semester exams looming ahead, we returned earnestly to our studies. After the exams, we enjoyed another well-earned break before the start of the second semester. Some of us had the same schedule while many of us added new classes and dropped others. Soon the sectional tournament was pressing upon us. Remember all those pep rallies in the gym? Basketball is only a sidelight of our school life, so after our victories and bonfire celebrations, our thoughts turned to spring and then summer vacation. In May the seniors left for a week in Washington, D.C. and New York City. They re- turned to face final exams with the rest of us. For them there was Commencement, the end of a long journey and the beginning ofa new life. For others it was a brief rest before the fall school term. Rem mber When? You'll remember when these events happened, and you'll ponder over them and others, as you follow us through the IQ6O Silicon. -5-

This year a few art students, under the direction of senior Wendell White, arranged a large, sectioned painting of the Mother Mary and the Christ Child on the windows above the school's main entrance.
