BERMUDA DAY Knobby knees and bowlegged legs were seen again for the third year on annual Ber- muda Day. This tradition always remains one of the favorites of the seniors. Showing off their colorful plaids and striped Bermu- das, the seniors again remained the envy of the underclassmen. Each senior had to pay a dime for the privilege of wearing Ber- mudas in hopes of adding a few coins to the senior treasury. W SPIRITUAL EMPHASIS WEEK At a double assembly which officially opened Spir- itual Emphasis Week, the Reverend Boyce Van Ozdell, Minister of the Calvary Baptist Church, delivered an address. The main theme of his talk was the impor- tance of prayer. The attention of the students was cap- tured because his delivery was gaged to a young audi- ence. Following the assemblies, representatives of the various religious groups in the South Bay Area were present for noon conferences. The second day began with a very different type of assembly. The speaker, Mr. Harty, from the Moody Institute tried to demonstrate how the basis of religion itself can be explained through scientific means. Concluding Spiritual Emphasis Week, the vocal music department presented an assembly in honor of Thanksgiving. Pam 22
