Horror of horrors! They have only 399 pennies! Nevertheless they got their EB8 TIDE. Every year during this season, you see Orange faces appear in the familiar throng of students. These weird apparitions are usually found with footballs, basketballs and tennis balls taped to their hands: they have pigtails, wear burlap sacks and old sweat suits and make a generally frightening spectacle. These are the mighty L's. varsity lettermen who were invited into the L club and still wonder, if after that day of torture, it was worth it. 35

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.
