Initial Activities Launch Fall Season September means school with all the fun of re- uniting with old friends after a long summer's rest. School opened Sept. 2. Schedules soon became settled and SRHS was alive with studies, social affairs, and varied activities. It is the activities that make the school year one that we remember. We hardly remember the class- work, we probably didn't get enough of it in on time. But, we do remember our day at the Fair, F.F.A. and F.H.A. Initiation Day, the pie supper Sept. 20th, the freshman play Our Famous Ancestors, skating par- ties at Oak Hill, and the Spanish Supper sponsored by the seniors.

There seems to be some doubt in Wendell Cousins' mind as to which box he bought. On Sept. 27, 1957, a lovely Au- tumn night, the annual F.H.A. box supper was held. To start this oc- casion was the counting of votes for the Prettiest Girl contest. Lo- retta Nell Powell, a sophomore, won this honor and was awarded a prize. Buck Talbot, the auctioneer, started selling the boxes at eight o'clock sharp. On hand to buy these strikingly decorated boxes were many high school boys and local friends. After all the boxes had been sold everybody settled down to eat the delicious food and many guests strolled over to the re- freshment stand to buy drinks. Net proceeds from this eventful night were S221.27. Ann Jordan proves that she is not camera shy as she takes time out from her task of tallying figures on the scoreboard to pose for a pic- 'lUI'E. As many couples enjoy the delicious food, some find time to chat with their friends.
