Highlighting the social life were Homecoming, Christmas, Sadie Hawkins, and Senior Prom dances, in addition to the after-game re- cord hops. A fall and a spring play were given. Assemblies had more student participation this year, as students organized skits for the magazine drive kickoff and as seniors reported to the student body on their summer trips to Boys' State, Girls, State, Camp Nelson Dodd, and United Nations pilgrimage. Sports played a major role in pupils' activities. Boys who played football showed the same initiative in organizing an informal pep club that sat together at basketball games and had their own cheers and bugle. Attendance at regular cage games was overflowing, and tournament tickets became a scarcity. In junior high, the seventh and eighth graders held a Valentine party and had their own athletic banquet. A mathematics tourna- ment was organized this spring among junior high pupils. 24
