Variety to School Week Activity period, a creation of the new 70-minute period system inaugurated this year, takes place each Wednesday morning during third period. It is under the direct supervision of the Stu- dent Council, which plans and directs all activities. Every other week activity period fea- tures club meetings, record rooms, a small games room, movies, a study hall, and general activity in the gym. On alternate weeks, the Student Council engages various acts and speak- ers for the entertainment and education of the student body.

Phases of School Life Dear Diary: This has been a glorious evening! Among my choicest memories will be the Page One Ball of 1958. I was escorted by my boy- friend, and he certainly looked his han dsome best. I wore my new dress with a beautiful cor- sage of lovely flowers. The Aristocrats’ music was wonder- ful, and our favorite number was — well, we really enjoyed them all! We left the Ball at 11:00 and went to a very nice restaurant. I just tiptoed in at 1 :30, climaxing the fabulous night. Thus read the programs of every girl who attended the Page One Ball on Saturday eve- ning, November 15, 1958. The Ball was spon- sored by the “Panther Press,” Griffith High School’s newspaper. Reporters, editors, typists, feature-writers, and the sponsor, Mr. O’Rourke, were on the scene all day long, and their decorating efforts pro- duced beautiful results. Twisted strips of tur- quoise blue and white crepe paper formed “curtains” along the sides of the gym; while a “wall” was created at the front, dominated by a huge banner with the words “Page One Ball” in turquoise. Clusters of turquoise balloons were suspended from the ceiling. Midway through the evening, Virginia Lam- bert, editor of the “Panther Press,” introduced her staff and expressed the hope that every- one was having a good time. Preparing to leave the dance, boys help their dates with their coats. 19
