At the Madame's suggestion, three senior boys gave an assembly on the principles of the fine art of spear fishing. Thanks to the sense of humor of a certain senior twin, the technicalities of the sport proved interesting and entertaining. Everyone enjoyed watching the surprised ex- pressions on the faces of the new inductees at this yearls Honor Society Assembly on March 13th. They say this was the first induction cere- mony in Gee Ceeis history that went off without a hitch. Hats off-another record set by the Class of 57.

Most of the kids came back all shook up , and when asked to comment, all they could say was too muchi' of everything but snow. There was much excitement in the auditorium during the week after mid-terms. Activity pic- tures were taken and the MAST staff was up to its ears in Don't movew and Schmi-el . After the Carden City victory las usual! of February 15th, there was an informal basketball dance in the cafeteria.
