Class Parties Break Yearly Routine The Class of '72 held their beach party once again at Fed- der's Alley. There were football games, bon fires, and swimming. Wet or dry e everyone had a good time. The Iuniors brought their sum- mer to a close with a beach party, also held at Fedders. Some built pyramids, while oth- ers played football and swam. The Sophomores had a ttmod theme party, with attendance at about 400. Some students danced, but for the most part there was visiting between E1- ston and Rogers students.
