Fun-loving Redskins Took Part in Outdoor Activities While attempting to conquer skiing, Mr. Ronald Certain discovered that the sport had it ups and do Students always enjoy having a good time, and this year was no exception. Each season, month, week, and day had its fun and memorable moments. Many students spent the summer months skiing at resorts, visiting relatives, watching city baseball games, going to the dances sponsored by local parks, or just buzzing local drive-ins to meet fellow classmates and a few new acquaintances. Autumn brought a wave of outdoor activities on which stu- dents employed much of their energy. An exciting football game and fast-moving dance frequently started off the much-too-short week- ends. Weiner roasts, parties, and moonlit hayrides also kept acrive students occupied. Nature-loving students strolled through the parks engrossed in the beauties of Indian Summer, while the more adventurous and daring fun-seekers attempted a brisk ride on horse- back over the countryside. Activities of vibrant Redskins changed with the coming of winter. During these months warmly-clad students engaged in such activities as ice skating, snowball battles, building snowmen, and tobboganing. Many ' Skins also ventured to Tamarack Mountain to try their ability at the popular sport of snow skiing. Despite chilly showers and mud, spring was a favorite time of the year for many. Planning the junior and senior proms, the sophomore parry, and cheering the track team highlighted the springtime activities. Basketball sectionals raised the spirits of all the sports-minded students. Later in the spring came graduation for the seniors and the wonderful thoughts of summer for all stu- dents and teachers. Many high spirited notions prevailed with the coming of spring •xhibited by Pnm Lorman and Ted Bonar. 11

Gvic-minded Redskins Gave Service To Local Hospitals, Redskin students were extremely fortunate because Fort Wayne offered them so many opportunities to help others in their community. Several students spent their spare time working in local hospitals as nursettes. Still other ' Skins spent a night or two a week working with younger children helping them grow to be good citizens of the city. The students were also a great help in doing a variety of jobs around the school. Student service workers aided the office personnel in the guidance center, attendance center, study hall, and the main office. The main task of the students who helped in the guidance center was to write down the names of those students who reported to the center because they did not feel well. Attendance center helpers kept the attendance record of each student in order. The boys who worked in the center went to each room to pick up the pink absence slips and took them back to the attendance center where the absences were checked and recorded. The students who worked in the study hall checked the attendance, wrote out absence slips, and ran errands. ' Skins who helped in the main office ran errands, filed student records, and delivered the daily mail and papers to the teachers ' lounges. Students also helped in the audio-visual aid depart- ment. The main job of the AV workers was to show movies to the classes. These movies were shown in either room 111%, the AV room, or in the auditorium. Students never felt unneeded because the opportunity to help was always at hand. of the tasks
