WAITING PATIENTLY to see their counselor, these stu¬ dents typify Governors at the beginning of each semester, when schedules often must be changed at the last moment. “DON’T BE GREEDY,” Nancy Creekmore seems to be say¬ ing to hunrgy Governors Bob Zimmerman and Kenny Bock- en at a bake sale as the boys divide “the spoils of war.” Daily Homework, Clockwatching, and Standing in Line School days at Morton in 1964 were not spent entirely in the classroom. Governors gave much of their time to the everyday rat race of high school existence. Mad dashes against the clock often resulted in tardiness and standing in line in the office for an admit. Governors found themselves in many other lines, too — at the bookstore, cafeteria, and counselors’ offices. Organizations involved many Governors in extra-curricular activities, even though stag¬ gered student schedules made it difficult for many to attend meetings after eighth hour. Bake sales, a popular means of raising money, were numerous and welcome. As stu¬ dents left the building, they could purchase cookies or cake to nibble on the way home. All in all, the school year was a well- rounded one at Morton — in school and out. DEMONSTRATING the proper technique for opening lock¬ ers, senior Tom Hopman gives his locker a “love pat.” Frosh Jim Pruitt and Linda Sorbello watch for pointers. 17

Attending the Winter Formal, Junior - Senior Prom GATHERED AROUND the band box, Prom couples par¬ ticipate in the delightful en¬ tertainment provided by the Pat DeMure Band. The Winter Formal, “Cupid’s Cotillion,” held on February 15 at St. John’s Panel Room, provided a delightful evening for Morton stu¬ dents. Music furnished by the Vi-Kings, plus the sparkling decoration, added to the en¬ chantment of the evening. This eagerly await¬ ed event was sponsored by the Governmnt Club to support Kim Chun Yung, Morton’s Korean orphan. The 1964 Prom, “Sea Mist,” held on May 23 at St. Michael’s Hall, was the climax of the senior year. The elaborately decorated hall created a dreamy atmosphere. Entertainment for this memorable evening was provided by vocalist and trumpet player Pat DeMure. The juniors and seniors also danced to the enchant¬ ing music of the Don Carone Orchestra at the After-Prom Party held at the Woodmar Coun¬ try Club. Vocalist Ronnie Rice and the Dru- Vells also entertained. The After Prom-Party wasn’t the finale for many attending the Prom. Many students served “brunches” the morning after the Prom. These were followed by out¬ ings to the beach or an amusement park. The exciting weekend came to an end all to soon.
