The individual we call a student has many problems and dealings with life, but in order to be able to stand up to those situations and face them with a clear mind and sincere heart he must have background. This background— for all moods — starts with the devel- opment of his surrounding family, friends and teachers. What he is taught, at anytime in life, he wilt be able to reflect back on in some moment of need. Thanks to his parents, church and school he will always be able to face facts and moods and perhaps end up finding his place in life.

Spirits ignited by bonfire Homecoming activities began on Thurs- day, October 6, with the annual Home- coming parade. Each class and many clubs entered a float or decorated car. The Senior’s captured first place with their float “No Braggin’ We’re Not Draggin’ ”, and the Booster club took first place with their car “Make ’Em Beg.” The parade ended at the football field where the bonfire was ignited. The flames rose with the student’s spirits and they joined in the snake dance, pep rally and alumni dance. Laughing and breathless Griffith High students joined hands in a snake dance around the bonfire.
