First prize float for the M 81 M parade-the Art Club. Getting into Pep Club this year was quite an ordeal. as you can see from these pic- tures taken at the initiation. The members-to-be were put through various 'ttortures' before they became full-fledged members. A really big event of the year was the M and M parade in which many of these floats appeared to make it a really colorful arrair.
