I0 ag Lllfl PPG? There are always two sides to a story. In our case one was gay and the other serious. On the lighter side we got a big laugh from watching the boys walk to school in cold weather so bundled up that we could hardly re- cognize them. The Scurrier, sock hops, formal dances, and vacations also offered us opportunities for fun and frivolity. Most of all, we were happy because we were with friends. On the serious side of our story was the prayer that we offered each Monday morning led by members of our Hi-Y. Seniors thought carefully about plans for meeting the world, while underclassmen realized the need to pro- fit from high school study. Thus, we regarded taking exams and getting report cards as important duties. In many different places throughout our school we saw different things, but a variety and example of each were found in our student center. The girls wore short skirts and knee socks, hair bows, circle pins, and rings bound with angora. The boys sported pegged pants, and new', hair styles, parted and combed over to one side. Yes, our story is one overflowing with memories to last us a life- time. Our Student Center is a popular hang out before school and during lunch hour. Junior girls finance the prom by selling candy in the Student Center.
