Februciry Feotures Fun cmd Frolic 'R xx To get February oft to a good start the in- famous groundhog peeped out of his home only to see his shadow, thus leaving a wordless prom- ise of six additional weeks of cold weather. Fund-raising occupied many clubs' time. The Junior Parents' Club sponsored a chili supper on February 4. The German Club held a bake sale featuring authentic Germanized American cakes and cookies. Val-o-grams were the annual Latin proiect, while the French Club again observed Mardi Gras by selling booths to .different clubs and organizations. The Senior Class was responsi- ble for the Valentine Court. Honors were many. The Future Farmers of America received high ratings in the Fort Worth Fat Stock Show. Vickie Spires and Robert Strick- lin placed first at the DECA Area Il Convention while Linda Beneke was chosen by the Garland Daily News as girl ot the month. Lyn Hasbrook began her reign as Basketball Queen. Seniors ordered caps and gowns. The Apollo 9 space program, President Nixon's European tour, and disasters of floods, oil leaks, and Arabic clashes compiled world news. The Lion in Winter with Peter O'Toole and Katherine Hepburn was nominated for the best picture of the year and Blood, Sweat, 81 Tears by Blood, Sweat, 81 Tears was a leading album for February.

March led into April and May, with a summer vacation following close behind. In March the athletes of South Garland were honored at the Booster Banquet, Twirp Week was celebrated the tenth through the fifteenth, and Bob Harrington, an evangelist, spoke at a student assembly. April rolled in with a band clinic the seventh and a junior choir presentation the eighth. The upper classmen will probably say that April 26 was the most exciting event of the month be- cause the Senior Prom was held that night. At the beginning of May the band went to Corpus Christi and the A Cappella Choir went to Enid, Oklahoma for music festivals. Class elections were May 5 and both Junior and Sophomore Proms were in May. Awards Day preceded the Senior play. Envious Juniors and Sophomores watched the Seniors prepare for Sen- ior Day, and many were sad at the graduation of friends on May 24. In world news, President Nixon was seeking to lower the voting age to 18, make the draft voluntary, and finally to successfully continue the Paris Peace Talks with hope of bringing our men back from Viet-Nam in late 1969. Movies such as Oliver and Charly made en- tertainment easy to find. The Beach Boys cut a new record, I Can Hear Music, and with the year nearly gone radios revived Golden Hits such as Garry Lewis and the Playboys' Save Your Heart for Me and the Happenings' record of See You in September. 66 i l Students - March 'ilk C, it
