Top Event in November In November while freshmen and juniors braved the punctures of the tuberculin skin tests with puckered faces and squinted eyes, sophomores took hearing tests. The newly organized Book Guild toured the Notre Dame Library, and the Y-Teens invited their mothers to their annual Recognition Tea. At a college infor- mation night college-bound students and their parents heard repre- sentatives from Indiana schools explain requirements, costs, schol- arships, and courses. Parents of freshmen went through the daily schedules of their children, met teachers, and discussed prob- lems on Freshman Parents Night. With the Presidential election on November 3, many students campaigned vigorously, covering themselves with campaign but- tons and passing out stickers and pamphlets. After a demonstration assembly by Irv Chief Morgan, MHS boys became wary of judo-happy girls. Using volunteers, Mr. Mor- gan showed numerous defensive holds, throws, and trips, prompt- ing us to several days of experimentation. JUDO TACTICS. Under the direction of Irv Chief Morgan, Pam Robinson demon- strates a defensive grip a small girl could use. FIELD TRIP. Members of the Book Guild pause to scan the list of benefactors to the Notre Dame Library. These students review and discuss various books. Mrs. Harriet Kamm Nye, who has written a few books of her own, is faculty sponsor. GRIMACING.

In the cafeteria the day before Thanksgiving, we ate the tradi- tional dinner of roast turkey and all the trimmings. After Thanks- giving vacation, which seemed much too short, we added to our already-over-crowded schedules such things as Christmas shopping, club parties, and clerking jobs. We donated to the annual SHARE project over 180 cans of fruit, vegetables, and soup, 50 pounds of potatoes, and $76.03. During Christmas vacation we caught up on homework, shopped with our Christmas money, went to see 007 in Goldfinger, cheered at the Holiday Tourney, and attended the Mistletoe Ball and New Year ' s parties. Panic-stricken the week before finals, we rushed to get in several timed writings and chemistry experiments. We labored over final exams and then relaxed at the Student Council Hootenanny. When we got our new semester schedules, we did everything in our power to maneuver counselors to put us in classes with our favorite teachers and our best friends. Supposed excuses like wanting a longer lunch hour, not wanting two study halls in a row, or wanting to get out of school early did not fool our alert counselors. Suddenly the first semester was over, and with a fresh start and renewed determination but hardly any rest, we plunged into the new term ' s classes and activities. Christmas Parties, Shopping, Vespers PEP SESSION. Standing and shouting the Class Battle Cry, these freshmer try to out-yell the other three classes, but as usual the mighty seniors won. 15
