Spring Fever Arrives Spring immediately exploded with many different activities. The fever began and ended with banquets by a variety of groups. Several of the clubs holding banquets to announce and install new officers were FFA, F1IA, Pep Club, French Club, and Girls League. Sports banquets were also held during the spring. Outside activities included exchange concerts between Philomath Band and MPHS Concert Band, tlie district speech tournament, and eighth grade visitation. A Hootenanny sponsored by CYC and the Junior Prom highlighted the spring festivities for the students. Frequent false alarms and a Home Economic Play School seemed to set off a feeling of exuberance by the students. A gripe assembly, rally tryouts, and election campaigns held the students interests with campaigning and voicing their pet peeve. On the last week of school, students were allowed to experiment in the dress code by allowing the girls to wear pants and the boys could wear cutoffs.
