TO JEAN PFEIFFER HER FIRST WEEK AT LHS IS THRILLING Monday, the final day to be enjoyed at the beach. Jean and Ted Dye splash away their last free hours. Tuesday, the first day is always the hardest, they say. Poor, Wednesday, even at a bewildered Jean, asks directions from Bob Berryhill while new school it really she frantically tries to find her classes. doesn't take long to get into the old grind. Even Fall, Fun, and Football Go Hand in Hand The first touches of fall were in the air as stu- dents, sporting suntans and looking as if the farthest thing from their minds w$s study, flocked back to the hallowed halls of L.H.S. This year for the first time the service clubs had information desks in convenient places around the campus to help the bewildered students find their new classes. Sopho- mores, with that foggy look on their faces, wan- dered around the halls trying not to get in the way of the seniors, who were taking their new positions of glory very seriously. The Get Acquainted Dance brought the student body together for the first time to the strains of Tears on My Pillow and 'It's All in the Game as waxed by their favor- ite recording artists. Who will ever forget the first pep assembly? Out on the bleachers in the broiling heat, yelling our hearts out, we proved that the spirit was as great as ever. That first football ga'me against Central Catholic High found the Flying L’s, shakers in hand, cheering their team on to victory. The clubs on the campus had membership drives and pictures were taken for EBB TIDE, although no one's hair seemed to look quite right or that tie wasn't straight. Everyone was settling down to the routine of class work. fun. and study that characterizes Lauder- dale High School in September. Hooping it up on the Key Club patio. Betsy Fishburn seems to be thoroughly enjoying the latest craze to hit Lauderdale. Hula Hoop advocates claim that this unusual form of exercise is good for everything that ails you. from extra pounds to gout.

October, month of witches racing across the dark ominous sky, creeps in stealthily. L’s were whirled up in the round of activities with a spirit-streaked pep assembly before the tension of the long- awaited game against Stranahan. Victorious spirit spilled over into the Sinawik Swing after the game. The Baby L's, the Sophomores, took on the big responsibility when they elected their class officers and did a wonderful job. This was the month of hula hoops and Rickey Nelson, fall outfits and par- ties, and first six weeks' tests. Lauderdalites came out en masse for the away game at Hialeah High School and we were swept along toward the spec- tacular Homecoming Week. Weary and worn, stu- dents had just settled back into the old routine after Homecoming when report card time rolled around, bringing with it long faces and happy smiles. How those Seniors sweated when Scholarship Qualifying tests appeared, meaning that college time was coming closer. High spirits prevailed as L's gathered for the North Miami game, followed by Juniorette's Pigskin Prom. Thus another month slips into the shadow of our memory. Students Stew as Back to old Naples for one night went Prancie Mc- Knight. Ronnie Cameron and Dora Peterson while they enjoyed the sumptuous fare provided by Anchor Club at their annual Spaghetti Dinner. Checkered table- cloths. candles on the tables, and pretty waitresses added a great deal toward transforming the cafeteria into an Italian restaurant. Oh, my aching feet! These two seniors finally gave up all thought of propriety and kicked off their uncomfortable high heels while serving at the senior tea. This year, for the first time, the tea was held in the beginning of the year to give Seniors' parents a chance to get acquainted before graduation. Teenage manners and morals were the topics under discussion when well-known columnist. Ann Landers, came to Lauderdale High. Miss Landers, who in reality is married and has a teenage daughter, gave interested Seniors the lowdown on proper dating behavior, answered questions, and read some of her famous Dear Ann letters.
