has brought about changes of traditions 1952 Student Association Frontier Night Whether it 's cheering at a game, or- i rp ganizing Frontier Night, or dancing at y Homecoming, through the years Lon Mor- ris students have always taken out time for fun. Although the activities have changed with the times, the Lon Morris spirit of fun remains the same. In the 1920's, two boys and two girls could be seen at the games leading che- ers. Although 1972 boasts four boys and four girls, it was this group which estab- lished the precedent of an equal number of boys and girls. A .C.l. proudly introduced the orches- tra in 1914. By 1940 this orchestra had become a band. But some traditions do disappear. ln 1972 there is no school sponsored band. 1934 saw the Masque and Wig Theatre production, Master Way Farer, win the State Championship. Living up to a win- ning tradition, the 1972 production proved to be superior. 1941 Sextette The Sextet can trace thei.r history as an outstanding group of singers back many years. In 1941, as in 1972, they traveled throughout the state giving performances. Brush up on your square dancing, slip on your jeans, and head for the Student Association's Frontier Night. October 13, 1952, found the Lon Morris student body doing just that. Twenty years later, 1972, the Frontier Night had evolved into Fall Festival. Bonfire and mums come to everyone's mind when they think of Homecoming whether it's Homecoming '61 or Horne- coming '73, Spirited cheer- leaders and the Homecoming dance are integral parts of the Homecoming tradition es- tablished through the years. 1961 Homecoming Dance ' 4 M 1961 Homecoming Bonfire
