BANQUETS OCCUR IN THE FALL Initiation in the fall, the first highlight of the freshman year, found the girls tramping around in shoeboxes for shoes and boys attending classes, attired in ladies shorty pajamas. The FHA-FFA annual pheasant feed was one of the early social events of the school year. The FFA boys furnished the pheasant, while the senior girls planned and prepared the menu. The sophomore and freshmen girls were responsible for the clean-up. The seniors entertained the faculty at the senior pheasant feed. The senior mothers prepared and served the meal. An after-dinner program, consisting of several Hammond organ selections by Kirke Pratt, of Bryant, a vocal solo by Mr. Soug- stad, and several cornet solos by Brian Crane, completed the evening. 4.
