50 ’s Day A Senior Tradition November 24th marked the third annual Seniors Fifties Day . It was all started in 1975 when the senior class decided to show their spirit during Home- coming Week by dressing up in costumes from the fifties. Now it is a symbol of spirit for many senior classes to come. The seniors this year really enjoyed dressing up, even though they had a tough time getting the grease off their hair and the deep red lipstick off, they still enjoyed running around in their fancy out- fits and showing them off to pho- tographers and all the other stu- dents. The teachers loved seeing the seniors because it gave them many fond memories of yester- year. 1. Seniors show off 50 ' s Day apparel. 2.
