Sc£oof Bije a Cj nerson Our ScJioo Memories are made of this . . ■ applies to School Life more than any other part of the school year. The activities that took place during the year will be the first recalled in later years. This year ' s activities began with Gary ' s annual Foot- ball-O-Rama. Following this came weekly school dances, week-end dates, and parties. Homecoming, fall, and Scum Week came in quick succession and everyone seemed busy. The year ' s school activities came to a sudden halt as the terrible news of President John F. Kennedy ' s as¬ sassination became known. All Emersonians were sad¬ dened and shocked at the news and joined with the world in a month ' s mourning for the late 35th President of the United States. The G.A.A. Couple Dance, One Snowy Evening . . . , was the height of the EHS Christmas season as every¬ one welcomed the two-week vacation. After the Christ¬ mas holiday, most students returned to their studies as the end of the semester approached. The advent of spring brought with it the Sophomore Hop, Freshman Frolic, Senior Day, and Spice and Variety. As the year drew to a close, activity increased as prep- arations were made for Class Day, graduation, Baccalau- reate, and-the most important event of the year, the Junior- Senior Prom. Graduation is a sad day for all seniors but yet a proud one as they look to the future. Join us as we review School Life in ' 63- ' 64 at Emerson, Our School. Roller skating parties provided many Emersonians with a new source of enjoyment this year.
