INITIATION SPIRIT WEEK Seniors Have Many Fun Activities for Spirit Week and Freshmen Initiation Fun, gush, and messy described the initation the seniors gave the freshmen in September. The day began with the freshmen coming to school in the clothes of their senior’s wishes. There were many strange sights as the seniors and freshmen gathered at the front of the school for the parade. Students watched as Tom Elam gave )ohn Bushnell a shaving cream shampoo, and many expressed their surprise at the beauty of Pee Wee (Clifford) Shaffar as he modeled his bathing suit. The parade was a rare sight of tormented. Often it was hard to tell who was tormented more, the seniors or freshmen. The seniors kept the freshmen well under control, throwing a disobedient freshmen into any handy mud puddle. Punishment for the freshmen was meted out by the just rule of Jim Delong, presiding judge at the “73” Kangaroo Court. Three freshmen girls who conspired to paint the rock were dealt with severely. Spirit week began this year with Sock Day, and Balloon Day. Great participation was seen during Hat Day. While studying their math, Jeri (Geraldine) Wallace and Aleta Shorb found hats were not harmful to their work habits. Thursday, called Critter Day, began with a switch. Instead of the usual stuffed animals, three seniors girls brought their dogs. After lunch there were many new additions including the one and only cat. Dogs and cats are a very strange mixture for a peaceful school day. The halls were bright with orange and black for Color Day. 8, Initiation
