January Sees End of Term, | David Bywaters and David Hildebrand examine their report cards at the end of the fall semester. Filled with turkey and holiday memories, Scots returned to school to prepare for mid-term exams. Jubilant high seniors, who did not have to take exams, plagued underclassmen and “‘low seniors” with their new freedom and cries of “only two more weeks.” At the high seniors’ Honor Day assembly, Susan Shank and Charles T rapp received the Blanket Awards. Top scholastic awards went to Sally Epstein and Susan Shank. Corky Terry and Randy Wieser were announced as co-captains of the 1961 Golden Avalanche at the annual football banquet. During all this excitement Scot spirit was lifted in support of the basketball team, which began its first district play. Also beginning were tryouts for the Lads and Lassies’ spring program, “South Pacific.” After the bustle of exams, graduation, and registration began to lull, the halls of Highland Park settled down once more to the normal routine of the spring semester.

Junior Class Chooses New Senior Rings February made Scot history as the juniors re- vised their official Senior Class Ring. After lengthy discussion they selected a ring with a bagpipe emblem and the school motto, “Enter to Learn, Go Forth to Serve.” Self-satisfaction again filled the air as the Golden Avalanche lettermen received their blue- sleeved football jackets or blankets. Regardless of the weather the triumphant players were rarely without their prized possessions those first few days. renner | FEBRUARY IAN brian nop ranged aoe Junior Class Meeting | Fa Rear Le ran Math Diagnostic Test | 2h sia) Doc eaee hoa Lanai Spring Regimental Ball . 19-2505 aa fais ea eneere Brotherhood Week Buddy Harris wistfully adds another of his jackets to Nancy Alexander’s collection.
