Bonfire And Bus Trips Entertain All Buses crowded with students, clothes, and sack lunches carried the mighty Governers to some of the “away” football and basketball games. Yells and cheers kept the Governors’ spirit high. Class yells kept competition raging dur¬ ing the long bus trip. Praise of favorite play¬ ers rung through the buses before and after the game. Governors took many comforts of home on their excursions. Pillows, blankets, changes of clothes, and sack lunches were among the most common articles seen heaped on the seats and floors. Booster Club sponsored the buses for the students, but some adults found the bus trip sponsored by the Morton Adult Athletic As¬ sociation an exciting experience. Bonfire, game, parade, and dance were among the many exciting activities that brought the stu¬ dents into the real “swing” of school affairs dur¬ ing Homecoming. The Homecoming bonfire the night before the game drew people of all ages to the blacktop in back of the school. A war-whooping group of Indian braves danced around the fire and brought a climax to their dance by burning a Bishop Noll football player in effigy. Students ended the evening’s activities with a dance on the blacktop. Gradually students drifted away to go home and start preparations for the coming “big day.”

Expressing surprise at the Can¬ nibal (Vernon Arnold) bringing a shrunken head to contribute is the narrator of the assembly Jack Harris, while Villian (Byron Gre¬ gory) looks on. People represent¬ ing the different walks of life each brought something for Kim Chun Yung and then collected money from the audience. Charity Counts with Morton Students Looking healthy and happy, Kim Chun Yung admires the Christmas present, a snowsuit which was sent to him by MHS foster parents. Supporting Korean War orphan Kim Chun Yung and collecting canned goods for the Thanksgiving Hi-Y baskets were two of the charitable projects that the Morton student body undertook this year. Adopting Kim was originally the idea of the Historical Club which sponsored the money raising campaign for Kim’s upkeep. Last year’s seniors be¬ gan the tradition of passing the parentship of Kim on to the graduating class of the next year. The students responded enthusiastically to the Hi-Y Club’s request to contribute canned goods for several less fortunate families at Thanksgiving. UOO cans! Gene Sankowski, George Berbeco, and Sondra Gallimore helped the 12As collect the most canned goods for Hi-Y baskets. • 12 A ] iftWMGWBCl DON r OHS
