Co ngenial smiles quickly replace perplexed expressions as friends reunite Student Council members sponsor a tour reception to welcome incoming sophomores and new students and to aquaint them with Gray. Anticipating spirits electrified the atmosphere on the first day of school. Sophomores, mostly in awe of their initial year of high school, peeked timidly in the front door to discover what lie ahead. For- mer students furnished aid in assisting newcomers to find their assigned rooms and new teachers. As friends spied one another, conversation burst forth concerning beach trips, mountain camping, boating, and water skiing during the past summer. Every re- turning member of the school was eager to rejoin comrades and to retrace steps to their favorite gathering places. After schedules were memorized, students sharpened pencils and gathered paper to place in notebooks in order to prepare themselves for re- search work and study required for their chosen subjects. Daily announcements encouraged prospec- tive members to attend meetings where clubs would be organized. Football players stayed after school for long, tedious hours of grueling practice while cheerleaders labored ardently for uniformity and precision. Looking toward the future, many seniors began scrutinizing college pamphlets in search of prospects for later application.
