Student Life — 21

Students face “same old grind” as lazy summer ends While the leaves turned golden brown and days were still warm enough for kids to wear shorts, it didn’t seem quite right to be back at school hitting the books. But — school opened as usual, and Wallace’s traditional activities started off with a bang. Freshmen were introduced to Lew Wallace through assemblies. Girls’ Club activities, and the customary hazing, while the upperclassmen continued to meet in the alcove. The annual Football-O-Rama games offi¬ cially opened the athletic season with Terri Kurth reigning as queen. Students continued to go to games, meet at Mac’s afterwards, and then zot and leaf unsuspecting students’ homes. November hosted a hectic activity sched¬ ule for most students. The Girls’ Club “Har¬ vest” Turnabout started off the action. Career and College Day programs were sponsored by the guidance department. A matinee and evening presentation of the smash hit “Love Is” was performed by Mr. Fissinger and the music department. Stu¬ dents and teachers alike were relieved as the Student Council’s Inauguration assembly kicked off a much needed four-day Thanks¬ giving vacation. 20 — Student Life
