by Ricky French In this year of many changes for McGa- vock, the graduating seniors participated in a new and most pleasant get together held October 25, in the South and West cafeterias. The seniors were invited to a formal honor reception hosted by the administra- Fatoyelir-taYe Mey get-Volr4-toll env mr-U CU Lo(-Sol amo) Vel avtele: committee. Ring leaders David Currey and Herbert Stratton along with the Sen- ior Advisory committee made up the re- ception planning committee that execut- ed the entire reception. The committee also requested semi-formal attire, and students dressed appropriately; the men in suits and the ladies in dresses. Seniors filed into the cafeterias accord- Tao Mi CoMME-500¥-11 UMYod oCote) CHM Mol - AUMEUY 3 cme Z-30) name tags and directions by the Junior P NeW tro) atmereyeeteotiac-t-mr-tele Ml aUCe( tel mmeelrecell| members. Then, the seniors were greeted by teachers, principals, and secretaries. Students shook hands and introduced themselves as they moved along the re- ceiving line. Afterwards, there was plenty of time to mingle and have refreshments with friends and teachers. The purpose of the senior reception was to create better and stronger rela- tions between faculty and students. The administration wanted to continue to rec- ognize the entire senior class and familiar- ize themselves with all the graduates. This year is the first in McGavock’s history for such an event, and the teach- ers as well as the seniors were pleased with the outcome of the affair. Whether or not future receptions would be held lay in the conduct of the seniors. Fortu- nately, their behavior was outstanding and they were congratulated for that. Administrators and seniors who fa- vored having the reception indicated their approval by filling out a question- aire. When asked how many seniors and faculty members approved of the idea, Coach Brown replied, ‘‘Ninety-nine per- cent.” After the reception received ap- proval, formal invitations were sent to seniors and administrators.

McGavock improved somewhat as compared to last year by having more pep rallies. For the upperclassmen, most rallies were held in the gym and others on the football field. The pep rallies were open to members of the Pep Club only. For the ninth grade Pep Club members, sessions were held in the auditorium, and conducted by the freshman cheerleaders. The ninth graders were very spirited and had some of the best pep rallies. The pep sessions were a bit more excit- ing also. The halftimers performed at some of the rallies, and the cheerleaders did new pom-pom routines. Also, classes competed in “yelling competitions” to determine which class had the most spirit.
