Class offi- cers participated in the color code program during Home Room, and the class president was presented with the senior gavel at a busi- ness meeting in the Cafeteria, after school. Busy seniors ended the day with a party and a dance after the business meeting. Tables were turned on teachers, Tuesday, November 7, as seniors and other pupils took over as administrators, department heads, classroom teachers, and staff members for Turn-About Day.
