HIGHLIGHT THE YEAR As a cure for the malady of all work and no play, our medicinal special events did much to keep our student body in a healthy frame of mind. As an opening preliminary to school events beautiful Marcia Watts earned the title of Football-O-Rama Queen September 1, while our team tied Emerson 0-0. Charlie horses and strained muscles were felt by all who participated in the Little 500 bicycle race this spring. The winning teams received engraved trophies and the right to enter the city Little 500 race. A most memorable event of our high school life was the Prom, April 28. The boys, dressed in their white jackets and cum¬ merbunds, still marvel about their dates in their billowing gowns. The girls still cherish their beautiful corsages. We danced in the Crystal Ballroom of Hotel Gary until midnight and then proceeded to Tiebels for dinner and more dancing until early morning. We will never forget how delicious breakfast was, nor how pleasantly tired we were in the morning. Graduation day, June 13, will soon be here as a finale to our school days. With diploma in hand and our ' 61 Quill and Blades handy, we will often review all these special events. There is nothing more poignant than the wait before Baccalau¬ reate Services. Sunday afternoon services help us review our serious high school memories. A i • w , Marcia Watts honored our school during her reign as 1960 Football-O Rama Queen. j ft v)
