“One o’clock, two o’clock, three o’clock rock jitterbugged and twisted into the minds of the students as the second Spring Follies Week screeched by. All through the week of April 26-30 the chance was given to let it “all hang out with a wide array of dress-up days, contests and an assembly about fads through the years. Classes all competed against each other, faculty included, for the Spring Follies Spirit Plaque. Starting off the week, teddy bears and lollipops made their way to school for “Kid's Day. Students wore the clothes of small children with bows in their hair while cuddling up to their favorite stuffed animals. Monday also started the week long gum chain and baseball card con- tests. Old McDonald would have felt very much at home Tuesday with “Farmer Day the theme. Bibs and flannel shirts were pretty popular that day. Rolling right along. Race Day struck midweek. Roller skating and tan- dem races, an obstacle course and balloon hopping weren’t enough to catch the eyes of many students, for they seemed to be busy flying fris- bees and playing flag football. Fads were presented live on stage by the Student Council and vol- unteers. Dances, such as the tango, the pony and the bump, plus various gimmicks, ranging from Elvis Presley to pogo sticks, were included. A baby bottle chug-a-lug and goldfish swallowing contests were also fea- tured. Finally, on Friday students and teachers put everything together by dressing up in fads throughout the years. The week long contests ended also. Seniors won the grand prize totalling 20 points. They were followed by the sophomores and juniors with 1 5 and 1 4 points respectively. The fac- ulty, besides their great effort, finished last. LOWER RIGHT: Better late than never most be Miss Basine's motto os she takes her sweet time in the roller skat- ing race.
