Throughout the fall pupils are kept very busy with social and scholastic functions. A recreation room for the entertainment of pupils and adults alike has been established at the local Presbyterian Church. This Youth Center forms a very important part of student life here at SHS. The halls are scenes of much activity before school and at noons. The locker scene below was taken at a busy time in the junior high building. Music has always been an essential extra-curricular project. Below left, members of the senior girl's trio vocalize at a practice session. The secretaries to the Superintendent and the Principal are kept very busy with their respective occupations. Mrs. Nichols and Miss Line are pictured as they discuss their work. Mrs. Nichols, who resigned during the year, was replaced by Miss Freytag. One of the most important elements in the athletic departments is the sports managers. They spend many hours preparing the equipment for the games. Carol Carey.
