Students sing the school song at pep roily in the gym. Pep Rallies, Mixers Sports Get Started By October Hinsdale South was beginning to re- semble a normal high school with mixers, pep rallies, assemblies, and football games (even though they did start at such an unbelievable hour on Saturday morn ings.) Cheerleaders practiced, tried out, and were selected by a committee of faculty and students. A new school song was composed and learned, although many had to look on copies at the first pep rallies. Cross Country and football were followed by winter sports. Records in all these events showed great progress for a first-year school.

A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES . . . Joyce Robinson, Carol Begley, ond Debbie Owen put on a skit at pep assembly. Sophs Are Tops; Drills Spice Days The first few weeks in the new school were quite different from the first weeks in on old school. Fresh- men still had to get used to high school, but here sophomores had a new experience. They were the big kids and would be for the next three years. The confusion gradually subsided, however, and stu- dents picked up the routine of classes, homerooms, lunch, and more classes. Fire drills brightened the days occasionally, especially when some classes didn't receive a notice to Disregard the bells. Some had three or four drills in one day. Another surprise came when Mr. Murrary announced, ’False alarm, false alarm. Return to your classes, and the outside doors were locked, leaving several classes out in the cold.

HOW TO MAKE A DINNER LAST 100 YEARS . . . Dramatists Sandy Bemis, Judy Moore, Lynn Thobaben, and Judy Lork portrayed characters in A Long Christmas Dinner. Christmas Vacation Extended 3 Days! A Long Christmas Dinner was presented before the holidays by a group of voluntary dramatists under the direction of Miss Laverne Hartmann. The band and choir also gave their first concerts at this time. A few problems arose when production time was moved up a few days because of an unexpected ex- tension in vacation time. Students, however, were de- lighted with the three days added to the vacation. The long days following Christmas were brightened by the Booster Club's basketball game between the Hinsdale South faculty and the faculty of the feeder schools. A new attendance record was set for the gym as 1,500 saw this game. THE THINKERS THINK TWICE . . . Miss Hartmann, Kathy Simmons, and Martha Ford ponder the problem of what to do when hearing the play was pushed up to an earlier date. I
