Good Vibrations Lancer Lite Events Bring Excitement School events gave students the oppor- tunity to experience the excitement of high school. These activities composed the future memories of high school; tor, they gave the school a feeling of unity. With Homecoming week-end in the Fall, Lancers got an early taste of “Lancer Life.’ Powderpuff quickly followed, with it the anticipation of prom and graduation. Strong student involvement made each event a success. The hard work that stu- dents put into the production of the Home- coming floats and the hours of dedicated practice for the Powderpuff football game demonstrated the students’ desire to cre- ate a unified student body. The Manchester Monacan Dance was a new item of Lancers’ social calendars. The dance was held at Monacan, but that did not deter a large Lancer attendance. Action picked up in the Spring with the senior Faculty basketball game. Alter an elaborate entrance by Mr. Donne Storino, the seniors set to work to deteat the faculty. The faculty appeared to be the only ones suprised by their defeat. The arrival of prom and graduation sig- naled the end of the school year and the beginning of memories. Lancers will re- member the individual events and espe- cially the Good Vibrations that they pro- vided. iL r Life 7
