The event was hosted by the Reagan chapter in the cafeteria. Reagan played Travis in the first district football game of the season on the 3rd. The Raiders made sure that the .South would not rise again, at least this year, by a score of 35 to 7. On the 5th, the Choral Department held an old- fashioned Box Supper. Plans were already being made for a summer tour to Europe. Students received report cards on the 23rd. These cards were of a new style requiring that a student receive one from each of his individual classes. They were not forced to have them signed by their parents and return them, but it was assumed that the re- sponsible student would do this. Back to School Night, the first Parent-Teacher Association meeting, was held on the 17th. This af- forded the parents the first opportunity to meet the teachers of their children. October was also a month of four more varsity football games. The Reagan Raiders beat Johnston 17-7, Crockett 24-0, McCallum 23-0, and Lanier 31-0. r ST 3 THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR President, Richard M.
