Proms and parties need crepe paper and the crystal ball, and nails cannot be driven into the gym floor. The band is practic- ing on the cold, dusty football field for the rival game with Susquehanna, as the Student Council plans for the Homecom- ing dance. A typist for the year- book, The Ranger, is pecking furiously on the typewriter with the worn ribbon, while a writer for the newspaper, The Paxton Scroll, beats a deadline. A mem- ber of the basketball squad is anxiously anticipating a basket- ball game while daydreaming during the day's last period. The chorus raises its voices, as it pre- pares for a Christmas program Lower Paxton Schools and students count the days until Christmas vacation, as a senior plots an early escape in his rusty jalopy. Chemistry students don rubber aprons during a replace- ment experiment, and someone turns off the hot water valve dur- ing showers after gym. Infernal noises from the shop and band room never fail to find their way into overheated rooms with open doors. The inevitable door of the office always remains open. Jun- iors discuss class rings as the sen- iors plan for graduation. Finally, Class Day exercises still shed a senior's tear, as the strains of the Alma Mater tingle his spine.
