The Annual Sadie Hawkins Dance was also held in November. giving the gals their chance to get a date with the man of their dreams. Miss- ing at all of the dances this year was the familiar sight of Hcokesf' Soft drinks are not healthful. it seems. From now on, punch is standard fare at school dances. The Junior Dance. held on the 2-ith. marked the beginning of a welcome Thanksgiving vaca- tion. Tuesday. the 30th. was Fall Award Night. ln December. all of the twelfth-grade social studies classes journey to that far-oll' land of New York City to discover how the lvnited Na- tions operates. A few people came home from this trip absolutely positive that they knew Chinese perfectly: after all. they had heard it over the earphones in the Security Council. Early the same month. eleven Gee Cee stu- dents were host to eleven boys and girls from Mexico. The group. sponsored by the lfxperi- ment in lnternational living. spent a pleasant month here and not only learned more lfnglish to take back to Mexico. but they promoted inter- national relations. which is the objective of the lfxperiment. .-Ns Christmas approached. the school became hlled with activity. The Christmas Concert was held on the 16th of December. the highlights being the Hflverture to the Nutcracker Suitefi played by the orchestra. and ngong ol' Christ- mas. sung by the Concert Choir. The ltlth of the month brought the Yvinter Wvonderland Ball. at which Cale Peck was crowned Snow Queen. and on the 23rd. the girls' gym rang with shouts of greeting as graduates of l9541- met with the seniors and faculty at a tea given by the Honor Society.

Then, for a week and a half. we were free. free to do our last-minute Christmas shopping. free to go to the many parties that were given. and free to begin to worry about the dreaded College Boards and the midyears that were coming in January. It was hard to believe that the first half of the year was over on January 23. and when report cards came out the following Wednesday. a lot of students wished they could have begun the whole year over. They even felt that Mrs. Fay had deserted them when she refused to give them that beloved aspirin as a cure for those MFF Blues. It finally got cold enough in February for Hubbellis Pond to freeze over. and everyone. whether he could skate or not. took advantage of the situation. Other than a few broken bones. there were no bad accidents. It was about this time that news leaked out from the Senior Room that Mr. Steinberg's classes had begun work on source themes. What,s your topic became the most frequently asked question. and everyone ran about with a little pack of index cards which he treasured with his life. Most of the topics were quite sensi- bleg however, it was thought that the teachers overworked themselves a bit when they came up with 6'The Effect of the McCarthy Investigation on the Zu-Lu Warriors of Africa. As March approached. the seniors really be- gan to worry about what they could use for a mascot. Someone suggested a skunk, but this idea didn't go over too well as no one volunteered to keep it at his house. Some of the senior boys were working very hard on this project though. and in early March, their effort was unveiled in the form of a huge plaster reindeer named Schultz, with its own little blanket, on which was written The Spirit of ,55.,' Wednesday, March 9th, was 6'Hood Dayf, Some brave boys donned flashy peg pants and loud shirts. Not to be outdone by the fellows, the senior gals planned a Slob Day for March 10th. The plan was called OH in favor of a Sen- ior Weekw later in the year, but it wasn't called off in time to prevent a few poor souls from walking into homeroom wearing men's shirts,
