The Annual Senior Class Car Wash, held on September 27, be- gan with rainy weatherg but before noon, the sun came out, and the car washers enjoyed a bright, clear day. After the skies had cleared, the workers, who had al- ready washed over a dozen cars, became even more speedy and ef- ficient. Shifts worked steadily during the long day from nine to six, and kept workers on the job the entire time. The seniors, advised by Mr. Milnes, boosted the class treasury more than S260 in this one venture. Seniors mix fun with work.

East Meets West Via Program. Americans, though noisy and funny, are still very likable in the eyes of Pongpun Chuatong, Spring- field's own American Field Service exchange student. Du ring the past year, Tao was a member of the Lowell Anderson family. She and her American sis- ter, Margaret Anderson, shared the pleasures and trials of life at Springfield High. Tao's homeland is the province of Chiengrai in northern Thailand. She has quickly adjusted to a new climate, new customs, and new foods. Winter temperatures in her native land average 40 degrees, with summers from 70 to 80 de- grees. Until she came to Spring- field, Tao had never seen snow. The school system in Thailand is similar to oursg however, a student may receive his high school diplo- ma at the end of the tenth grade. The eleventh and twelfth grades are optional. SHS is indebted to Tao and to the Anderson family for their part in helping to create better under- standing between nations.

A Cappella captured first in the float com- petition. Another joyous Homecoming 11196972 October 10 and 11 marked a memorable weekend in the annals of SHS. Homecoming weekend began with a Pep Rally on Friday night at which skits were presented and the Homecoming Court was in- troduced. Following the Rally, the Senators gathered for an exciting Bonfire at the athletic field. A light rain dampened their spirits somewhat, but the stage had been set for a Solon victory on the following day. In the float competition on Satur- day, A Cappella was named win- ner, with Philos receiving second place, and the Senior Class, third place. The afternoon came to a fit- ting conclusion with the Senators upsetting the Urbana Tigers 32-10. During half-time festivities, the Court was introduced, the Band and Pom Pom Girls presented a program, and the winning floats were announced. lt's what's upfront that counts. A bonfire always helps boost team spirit. 28 x. ..9 .' W 1 i 'fl .1 is K I . -Q- .- -I ' 44. 1 F
