and envied the seniors The last few weeks of the school year arc es- pecially busy for the seniors. Things begin to happen about the middle of May when they honor the juniors at the Jr.-Sr. banquet. Last year a melodrama The Terrible Troubles of Tiny Tess was presented as a part of the enter- tainment. Then the many outstanding students are rec- ognized at the annual Achievement Day as- sembly. Their achievements present a challenge to the others. Last year the El Pc staff handed out the an- nuals at an autograph dance. This was held the day after the Jr.-Sr. Prom. Class Day, the seniors swan song, is put on entirely by the Senior Class under the super- vision of the two class sponsors. Finally, four years of study are ended when the seniors receive their diplomas at the com- mencement exercises.

The Spanish Club tuggat» that the Sliccrs are Out of This World with their winning float. We celebrated homecoming with Fall brings football to L.P.H.S., and during the season the students celebrate homecoming with a parade and pep rally at Kiwanis Field. This gives all the clubs and organizations in L.P.H.S. an opportunity to support the team by constructing floats and decorating cars for the parade. There are some very clever ideas carried out by the floats in the homecoming parade, as each club tries to out-do the other. A good example of the competition in this year’s parade is shown by the Spanish Club’s entry which portrays Sputnik”. This float and the Olympian Tri- Hi-Y float gained first and second place honors, respectively. When the night of the big game arrives, everyone is tense and eager to see if the Sliccrs can come through with a homecoming victory. Payc thirty
