It takes two to tango, tangle, and develop poise During the years of high school, one matures socially as well as intellectually. Learning to re- spect and get along with our fellow human be- ings is perhaps our most important assignment in high school. Our social maturity is brought about in many ways — dating, new responsibilities, temptations of life, and especially in our relations with other people. We can ' t remember actually acquiring poise and maturity, but we do remember the incidents which brought it. We enjoyed throwing surprise parties for our teachers — on days of tests if possible. We en- joyed even more the memories of our crushes, boyfriends, and girlfriends. Going steady was popular as proven by the number of girls with angora-wrapped rings. All in ail social life is as valuable to growing up and success, as is academic learning. You ' re just teasing me again, she suggested to him. No, I ' m serious! My kid brother swallowed your ring.

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
