John Schieber has been manager of the basketball team for two years, and Ernie Lockhart, Janet Landis, and Jonella Miller had the privilege of being high school yell leaders this year. On November 19th we presented our class play, We Shook the Family Tree under the direction of John Glasgow, our class sponsor. We took a trip to Indianapolis to visit various places of inter- est in connection with the government class. It can be said very truthfully that there has never been a greener bunch of Freshrnen, a sillier bunch of Sophomores, a jollier bunch of Juniors, and above all, a more dignified bunch of Seniors. It is with regret that we bid farewell to the school that has been a constant part of our lives for the past eleven years. We hope that our underclassmen and teachers as well, will miss our comradeship as much as we will miss theirs. NOON ACT IVIT Y PROGRAM Under the supervision of Mr. Milhollin and Mr. VanMatre, a noon activities program has been planned, which takes place in the school gymnasium each noon hour. There are games for everyone from the first grade to the twelfth grade. For younger children there are such games as relays, and games with Indian clubs, and basketballs. For the high school students, the school has pur- chased a new ping-pong table. Several students have enjoyed doing the schottische dance, on the stage, when music is provided. Much credit should go to Mr. Milhollin and Mr. Vanlviatre for the work they have put in on the plans for this program and making it such a great success. 17
