Beautiful Floats, Pretty Girls, and School Spirit DEVIL FROM CITY. At the Homecoming Pep Session Mr. Kennetli Armel refutes tlie threats of a City Red Devil (Dave Frank). A keyed-up football team, a student body teeming with spirit, a parade down Main Street, and seven pretty girls in convertibles all combined to provide the makings of a Homecoming. The team spent hours in preparation for this big event; the students had their spirits and hopes high; float committees put hours of work into their club entries; the Student Council president crowned Sally Renner Homecoming Queen during the half time ceremonies of the game. For the first time we were told who was queen at half time rather than at the dance. Another first for Homecoming was the performance of the A Cappella Choir on the field prior to the crowning. At the close of the basketball season, Maroon supporters adorned with buttons and derbies and clad in maroon and white clothes crowded into the gym for the sectional pep session. Con- tinuous screaming, yelling, and clapping highlighted this pep session, the liveliest and noisiest one of the year.

But Spend Weeks on the Prom The social life of MHSeis was full and diversified. Many teen- agers wiled away the hours at various dances such as the Mid- Semesters and Homecoming dances which were school-sponsored. Other dances were the Y Centre and Stepan Center dances. Before fomial dances such as the Mistletoe and the Prom, spruced-up couples sipped drinks at punch parties in friends ' homes. Girls gorged and gabbed at niisnomered slumber parties. Fellas improved their shooting eye at pool and played a rough and tumble game of touch football. Both boys and girls thrilled at the es- capades of James Bond in 007 movies and laughed at the stupi- dities of Batman and the boy wonder, Robin. Winter offered MHS students a chance to enjoy the crisp, invigorating outdoors. Ice skating at Merrifield Park and sledding and skiing in the Mish- awaka hills were replaced by water skiing on the river and tennis games in the park when the temperature rose. Those who sought more cultured forms of entertainment attended concerts and plays in South Bend. In the spring club banquets and picnics crowded students social life. Students at MHS always found ways to amuse themselves. SEMESTER BREAK. Nancy Kraft and Ron Phillippi swing to the music of The In- truders at the Mid-Semesters Dance. Teens welcomed this fun after final exams. EASY DOES IT. Commercial Club initiates precariously passed lifesavers. AFTER HOURS. Dale Deardorff unwinds during a leisurely game of ping-pong at the Y. Students often sought a release from the tensions of school life. 17
