HIGHLIGHTING THE YEAR September The old Fort Lauderdale High School Building welcomed the Hurricanes as their new school- house for a temporary, but memory filled year. Football games began immediately, hand- in-hand with the new events -- Hush Day and Color Day, while rumors were whisperedwout the cuban situation. m October October arrived almost too quickly. The , Yankees Were victorious over the Giants during the World Series, and the ninth gradefootball team reigned undefeated. Report cards were distributed for the first time of the year, and F. H. A. formed its meetings. The yearbook sales began and . . . November November rolled in. The big news of the month exploited the Cuban Situation becomming an undeniable threat to the free world. The Thanksgiving holidays had a special meaning to everyone this year -- as the interest swept to bomb shelters and canned food.

December The holiday spirit contagiously spread signaling December to display the gayness it could show. During this short month. a Christmas dance, the first sophomore homeroom, Dress up Day, the basketball games, and the yearbook's first deadline all took place. Homeroom parties were the last event in school before the ten day Christmas vacation. January The New Year banged in. presenting a change of pace in the whirlpool of activities. The tenth grade class elected officers, the basketball games continued, and the Library Club took its place among the other clubs. Then, for a time. . .the villain - sem- ester exams - stole the scene, but everyone amazingly survived for Vocational Week, when future careers were planned. February The hearts and flower month - February - contributed a new fad affectionately tagged the fifty-mile walk started by President Kennedy. While basketball games continued throughout the month, the Yankees came to town, the magazine drive was held and track started. March 'March quickly filled the social calendar, while keeping pace with scholastic achieve- ment. For instance, although the month started with the Hillbilly dance and the Fac- ulty Varsity basketballligame, many students spent extrartime working 6n projects for the Educational Fair. The Key Club wound up the month presenting the first dance in the history of Northeast Senior High. f Aprll Spring vacation highlighted the month of April. The ten-day vacation hosted many parties and surprises. The sophomore class presented its first project -- Skit Night -- and as fun was righteously dubbed the theme of the month, May May unexpectedly appeared. Year- books could be seen among school books as the annuals were distributed during the last weeks of May. Summer vacations and semester exams were planned as the countdown began. Quicker than imagined -- June June is here! During the last few days of the year, although everyone appeared happy, down deep a sense of adventure lingered because the new school. a goal worked toward for many years, will be reached in the fall.
