With School Life The seniors won second prize with their Lions A-Go-Go float. .{J i kit The prize-winning theme We ' d Rather Fight ... brought glory to the juniors. They conveyed the idea by making a huge lion ' s head of tissue-stuffed chicken wire, and then gave it a large black eye. Each junior sported a shiner as well. Select a theme, and make your float so that we can easily recognize it, the judges said. With this — and the stipulation that no more than five dollars or 60 hours be spent on the project in mind, each class and club set to work. Originality (in terms of theme choice and float decoration) was, of course, carefully judged. The percentage of student participation on each float was decisive also. The sophomores expressed great school spi- rit by encouraging tremendous class partici- pation on their float.
