Each provided for two 45-minute sessions, which were held in the large auditorium. Morton’s Top Hat Theatre, under the direction of Mr. Donn Edwards, presented a cutting from the Broadway musical “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” Two different casts were selected for per¬ forming in each of the respective assemblies. Mortonite staff members kicked off the annual magazine subscription drive following a format of a hillbilly television show. A series of skits asked the student body to support the paper by selling a minimum of one subscription. In the form of a 65-year class reunion, members of the yearbook staff urged all students to buy a 1970 Top Hat. Following the antics of the senior citizens, the “Wayfarers” sang some selections written to persuade students to buy a book. At the traditional Inaugural Assembly, Principal W. Becker administered the oath of office to Student Association President Mike Greene. Cabinet, senate and house members also took a pledge. Sponsored by home economics classes, a dress assembly informed students about current styles. Both boys and girls modeled the Sears’ fashions.

Kiral) express their thoughts about happiness. 65-YEAR CLASS REUNION brought together old classmates.
