. . . After a couple of weeks, things settled down to a fairly normal pace. The gymnasium was soon rocking with jumping jacks and ricocheting volley balls. I was assured of a healthy student body by the end of the month. Those who didn't get TB shots were tested when physical fitness showed them what sum- mer had done to their lazy bodies. The guidance counselors finally placed 170 new stu- dents in classes and began working on schedule changes. Several classes were dissolved to redistribute an unusually small or large class. On September 26, we held our first pep rally on our own grid iron. It was great to see the cheerleaders, majorettes, color guard, flag twirlers, drill team, band, and all the players in position. That evening the Stu- dent Council sponsored a Kickoff Dance. The school spirit at the rally was matched at the game of the sea- son, played against Keyport High, because our guys Won, 30-8! October was also a month of activities. During the first week, was a boycott of cafeteria food. The Fresh- men held their class officers campaign . . . 5

Would you believe Pat Smith went for Fourteen dollars? Wednesday of Festival Week was Slave Day. The slaves were almost totally at the mercy of their owners. On class Distinc- tion Day, Thursday, class members dressed to distin- guish themselves: Freshmen wore mismatched clothes, the Sophs wore white socks and sneakers, Juniors were wearing balloons, and Seniors were in bowties. An added attraction to the day were the Big Mouth buttons sold by the Juniors, aimed at gabby girls in the halls. Sheila Rager got 20, all from Mr. Rielly in U. S. I. The yearbook pictures of underclassmen were taken that day, too. Friday of Festival Week was traditionally Blue and Gold Day. But the real climax of the festivities was the last football game on Saturday . . . 3. 1, .W it B it E
