CITY SLICKER BRINGS BACK HAPPY DAYS Sock hops, slickedehack hair, James Dean and polka dots are all reminders of an era past -- the Fifties . This year the slicker tradition was: demonstrated by students with a nostalgic feeling for that era. Attired in leather jackets, peddle-pushers, shin- brushing skirts, and saddle-shoes. Elston's nostalgia trippers competed For the titles of HMS. and Mr. City Slicker . The winners were announced at a special assembly and the teat of the day was spent chomping 0n bubble gum, checking out everyone's 01d class rings and attending, the hop that was sponsored by the Elston Student Council. 1.

PEP SESSIONS FOSTER SPIRIT Many people feel that there is a fine line between what is noise and what is not. The vote is unanimous that this year the cheering done in Elston's Red Devil gym was anything but noise. On the contrary the pep sessions, led by Mr. Jones tthe biggest cheerleader of them alli, were more like the music of happy people looking forward to something with complete anticipation. However, anticipation was an illness possessed by many Elston students: At each pep session the phrase heard most often was Lets take one game at a time! If taking one game at a time is the cure for this illness, perhaps pep sessions were like a spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down. 1. Relay race. 2. Coaches Kuhn and Mortorano 3. School
