Sitting in the sun, wofching the girls go by seems to be a favorite pastime of all boys as they wait for the bell. As Sue Anne Mullen portrays Santa ' s little fairy during the Student Council program, she willfully helps good ole Saint Nick — or in ho nest-to-goodness, real-life Rick Tyler — fill the requests of Fred Schmuck, who played the part of Mr. Key, carrying his lunch bucket. f

Mondays ring a mutual dread in the ears of all students. After the fun of weekends the prospect of five days of school is particularly painful, but in typical teenage fashion we managed to have fun during school too. Our friends add relief to the duldrum of school. Before school at morning and noon, students filled the foyer to talk, to watch noon league, and to goof off. Others mingled in the familiar dog-house. Even during the four minutes between classes we found time to exchange quips and news with our friends or to walk our girl friend to class. Often algebra class becomes much more interesting with the hot-prospect sitting across from you. The people we see and meet at school are our friends outside of school. When weekends roll around again, we rejoin our classmates at record hops, ball games, movies, bowling parties or just riding around. Occasionly weeknights brought social fun too. Decorating the halls at Christmas time and for the tourney proved to be gay as the decorations themselves. Record hops and ti.e dance sponsored by our own Dance Band were the greatest. Club activities, such as the Roman and Hi-Y, Y-Teen banquets were worth all the weeks of planning.

It takes variety to make up a year A few weeks after school starts, we can hardly wait for it to stop again. The drudgery is lessoned, however, in numerous ways. Four Student Council-sponsored programs entertained and informed us. This year they varied from a lecture by race driver Duane Carter to a musical program by blind whistler Fred Lowrey. Other assemblies were planned and presented by HCHS students. Numerous original skits brought out the ham in us — we thought we ' d never stop laughing. Among the best of our programs were the Thanksgiving and Christmas presentations. We took the former seriously, and Dr. John Halsey reminded us that God is responsible for all good results. The Christmas program featured variety, and Santa Rick Tyler presented faculty members with everything from leotards to a mustache cup. We had other diversions from the books. Remember the daily excursions down to the athletic office for chocolate milk or orange drink? Or how about the time you sneaked the cokes from the teachers ' room? And wouldn ' t you like a copy of each of the excuses you used to get out of activity or study hall? We always thought we were fooling the teachers. And all this is just a touch of the many events that made this a special year. Walking that special gal to class is the favorite pastime of our male species. Here we see Lorno Nosh captured by her steady beau. Bill Beck, just before the bell. 17
