Career Day featured repre- sentatives from different jobs who were assigned a class- room where they told inter- ested students of their ca- reers and answered ques- tions. Unlike reading about a job, students found out what they were really like. Those intent on pursuing a career immediately after high school were given many opportunities of practical ap- plication.

Joining together to provide activities and to enjoy them created a memorable year for stu- dents.

Holidays were an opportunity for some to provide for the needy, sell greetings or carnations, or simply to share in the happiness of upcoming vacation time.
