VALENTINE ' S DAY. Alltolders played Cupid by fixing and delivering carnations. SOPHOMORE GOOF. As a penalty for giving the least money to the foreign student drive, Steve Chung pulls Chuck Cleissner around during a pep session. Auditorium Erupts With Laughter As THESPIAN INITIATION. One of 17 new inductees, Jodie Daffron presents her inter- pretation of the Hammer Lock. At the end of January, more seniors were inducted into Thes- pians in a solemn, formal ceremony and then initiated at the in- formal gathering which followed. Sectional time rolled around. Although we had had a very poor season, the sectional pep session did not lack enthusiasm. The visiting ' Addams Family introduced the catchy new chant, We ' re gonna win. At a herpetology as- sembly freshmen and sophomores watched Mr. Bucky Reeves wrap snakes around his waist and neck and toy with many other strange- looking reptiles. On February 25 over 14 inches of snow blanketed Mishawaka. Thursday we perched ourselves by our radios listening hopefully for school cancellations the next day. Much to our jubilation we got a two-day snow vacation. For their class play on March 25 and 26, the juniors presented Pink Magic, a three-act comedy based on the novel by Margaret Lee Runbeck. In Mexico City a group of American tourists en- countered many humorous situations. Three girls, Lambie Prowder (Cathy Metsch, Patsy Reed), Horty Evans (Cindy Van DeWalle). and Corney Baker (Linda Goss) , plotted — sometimes against each other — to capture the hearts of Wally Grant (Chuck Schalliol), Henry Holt (Bob Pearson), and Kimball Colby (Dennis Spalazzi), dangerous Latin-American males. When Lambie lost her glasses, she could not see more than two feet in front of her, which caused many problems. She went horse-back riding with Wally, thinking she was with Kimball, and she thanked George Crater (Mike Van- Bruane) most graciously for a party, believing he was Mrs. Colby (Janice Johnston). Miss Emily Davidson directed the play, assisted by Fred Myers and Pam Hutson, student directors.

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

RESCUE. Lambie first meets Kim when he intervenes in her strugg ' e with the guide to recover the watch given her when she quit biting her fingernails. luniors Try Pink Magic mr-r ' m FUZZY WORLD. In their attempts to glam- orize Lam.bie, Horty and Corney agree that the glasses must go, though Lambie is prac- tically he ' pless without them. HOPELESS ARTISTS. Maestro Mariano, the Mexican painting master, throws up his hands in horror at the frightful attempts of Clara and Hester Hotch, two old- fashioned spinsters, to paint a reasonable likeness of the guide. 17
