Previously, we had gone to eat at Schraft's, very near the studios. The food was quite good Cdon't quote me as having said thatl and then we took the regulation tour. In between times we indulged ourselves in escorting girls down escalators, going around seven to eight times in the revolving doors, getting crushed in elevators, purchasing Byrd glasses, and other inanities. Speaking of inanities, let me tell you about the time I was dumped off the . . . What's wrong with me? I can't tell that one. To get to the iirst form again, one of the highlights of the year was our Halloween party, at which Halloween or anything to do with Halloween was just not mentioned. We all had a rawtha smashin' time. There were refreshments - Coke, 7-Up, chocolates, cake, cupcakes, nuts, and orangeade -- and records for dancing. There were even bubble gum cards. However, the gum was of 1937 vintage and tasted like slate. 'Twas fun, though. In the Christmas Pageant, most of us were in the chorus' except a few who had roles in the pageant or who were stage hands. Thirteen of the first formers made exhibits for the Science Fair, ranging from Sound Guns to photosynthesis experiments to ecology. As the 1965-66 season draws to a close, let me wish luck to people going away and the same to those coming back.

We continued our normal studies until the annual Christmas Pageant. We participated as villagers in the pageant. After the pageant, Richard Wfendy and Moira Smith received prizes for their talented art work. After vacation, Mrs. Morgan introduced a game of password to the class. Each day she would put a question on the board that had to be answered by the end of the day. This necessitated frequent trips to our library and taught us how to find out about many new things. So far, every day during the year Mrs. Morgan has told a joke. This helped to put us in a happy frame of mind for the day. The coming events which we will take part in are the Science Fair, Spelling Bee, Poetry Contest, Spring Concert, and Field Day. We expect to do well in every event. We also hope next year will be as fulfilling and memorable as this year.
