Whoro ©Iso but sunny Florida would you find bermudes at a formal danca? In spit© of Ronnio Cameron's unusual ett.reho ond Barbar© Roman soom to be having a wonderful timo as they live it up at the Junior Class Dance. Amid cries of Beat those Cavaliers! the L's ushered in November. Civitan presented its Cal- endar Girl contest, choosing Alice Schmidt as the loveliest of them all. EBB TIDE staffers were kept busy as yearbooks went on sale and the staff along with Navigator traveled to Miami for the F.S.P.A. Convention. This was the month of open house as P.T.S.A. pre- sented a get-acquainted night for parents and S.C. sponsored College Night. When Pasternak refused the Nobel Prize, it seemed the library just couldn't keep a copy of Doctor Zhivago on the shelf very long. But sen- iors took time out from reading to give the Senior Tea at the Lago Mar. Juniors, not to be outdone, put on their class dance, Moonlight in Autumn, with a huge scarecrow highlighting the center- piece. With the first icy blasts, girls donned the new- est fad, colored tights with crew necks to match. Squeals of delight were heard on the night service clubs delivered invitations, and cries of I'm a rat could be heard from the patio on L Club initiation day. At the traditional Thanksgiving assemblies, Wheel Club placed first in the Thanksgiving bas- ket competition. As Thanksgiving arrived, the L's took off for a few days vacation. The college kids were home, Gigi was playing at the Florida, and left-over turkey was in the icebox as Thanks- giving passed and November slipped into our memories. All morning the hush was oorio. LHS was as silent as the tomb. Silence Day had arrived. Then, third hour pep assembly came like a welcome balm to nerve-wracked students. Their peppy choors rang out to let Broward know the mighty L's were ready for the grid battle ahead. The annual Thanksgiving Basket Contest sponsored by Juniorettes makes for healthy competition among the clubs. Carl Adams, Todd Grehl, and John Barker do some last-minute repairs on Wheel Club's prixe-winning entry.

queen. Thrilled nominees. Sylvia Cross. Patti Cavaretta. and Sandy Aanes are among the first to offer congratulations. Every fall the time rolls around when the fa- mous Flying L spirit reigns supreme on the L.H.S. campus. During Homecoming week, excitement electrifies the air and enthusiastic students find plenty of outlet for their boundless energy. The festivities began on Monday night with the Stu- dent Council sponsored snake dance and bon- fire. The streets of downtown Lauderdale rang as voices shouted. Give me an '1'! Later that evening couples danced to recorded music on the outdoor blacktop area. Wednesday of Homecoming Week was de- clared color day. Flying L’s cooperated by wearing blue and white to school. Thursday was the day of the gala Homecoming parade. Club members got out of classes to decorate floats. That afternoon, sunburned and grimy, they viewed their masterpieces as the floats wound through town. Friday night the Lauderdale Flying L's met the Curley Knights on the gridiron. Spirit was high, but not high enough, as Lauderdale surrendered to a superior Curley eleven. Climaxing the ac- tivities, lovely Sandy Koch was crowned Home- coming Queen for 1958 at half-time. Has Finally Arrived Anchor clubbers whoop for joy after hearing that their Scalp ‘Em theme won the coveted first prize in float com- petition. It ain't much but it's a float, proclaims a sign on the entry of Mr. Sullivan's homeroom to the Homecoming float com- petition. A bar of Ivory in a jar of water, that's not a float. Or is it? 37
