The attendance at dances and sports events consisted of a large percentage of the seniors enrolled. Seniors put many hours and much pride into their activities and seemed to be doing everything possible to make their last year the most successful and enjoyable. For most of the seniors the past year proved to be the busiest as they devoted much of their experience and time to extraacurricu- lar activities. A great many put forth an extra amount of energy academically in order to raise their class rank, achieve recog- nition, or meet college entrance requirements, The final year was the year for decisions, and many minds matured quickly to meet the demands.
