Along with the start of school came football sea- son to provide enough pep and spirit to last the rest of the year. ?cm, Wow. 3 5 They got back in the swing of things and beat out the rhythm to new records at the first social event of the year, the Ice- breaker Dance. The student body bore the expenses of this dance and provided all the students from the eager-beaver sev- enth graders up to the old-time seniors with big, juicy slices of luscious water- melon! But then, who can eat seven hundred pounds of watermelon in one evening?

The highlights of our social season are pictured above in a calendar as tra- ditional as the activities. The first Friday in September old and new students turned out in full force to break the ice at the annual lce Breaker. Then in October junior high ghouls and goblins gathered for a Halloween costume ball. Homecoming had a thrill for all. Sus- pense filled the air until the identity of the Homecoming Queen was revealed. For- mals, dates, and after-the-dance doings were the chief topics among the girls be- fore the Christmas Ball, the peak of the winter season. To start the New Year right, socks with lights, faces, and clashing colors bright- ened the Sok Hop. Valentine's, St. Pat- rick's, and Spring Dances were fitting preludes to the gala Junior-Senior Prom in May. Ending as it began, informally, the year closed with the Sadie Hawkins Dance fgirls chasing boys for a changel and graduation fthe seniors scurrying happily for the exit and freedomj You'll agree it's been the least to say the most?

azm?!ew00g ode eafaf e664 and I U 2 0' Beverly Compton Everyone stands to clap to the rhythm of the band and the songleaders' pom-poms. Without Ruth's and Dorothy's vigorous per- formances much enthusiasm for the band's pep tunes would be lost. Most of the pep and spirit of our athletic events was centered on our cheerleaders and songleaders. This was only the second year in our school that we have had song- leaders, but the cheerleaders have been a regular tradition for many years. Leading the songs to the music of our high school band were Dorothy Rhodes, Ruth Lopez, and Nola Mund. Nola left, however, at the end of football season, and the other two girls carried on without her. During one assembly Nola, without re- hearsal, beat out the rhythm to Dragnet The three girls cut out and made their own outfits and pom-poms, under the guidance of Mrs. Noel. The three cheerleaders-Beverly Comp- ton, Jolene Swearingen, and Dolores Por- tillo--led crowded bleachers of rooters in well known school cheers throughout the football and basketball seasons. We mustn't forget our substitute cheer- Jolene Swearingen J Dolores Portillo Ruth Lopez 40
