Juniors love to travel, especially after a recent field trip to the airport, which left many Iunior historians eager to take to the skies. This time a trip to court impressed several students. Of course, they just went to observe. Cee, Diary, you should have seen the Iunior Skit at the basketball supper. Bravery medals were pinned on courageous Home Nursing students who presented a farce of a normal class in Home-Nursing. 1 .Diary, this is my big moment. . .floating down the forbidden Blue Stairs with my date, tho traditional visit, and off to twirl to the danceable melodies of Ed Sullivan's orchestra in the plush Houston Club.

Good food, happy spirits, and frolicing upperclassmen made this a day to remem er.
