School Hours In the first phase of the Christ- mas program, the entire student body gathered in the cafeteria to enjoy cookies and punch. They proceeded to the foyer to be led by the choir, as- sembled on the rotunda steps, in sing- ing Christmas carols. The climax of the program was the music depart- ment’s presentation of its annual med- ley of Christmas songs. Robert Day, trumpeter with the In- dianapolis Symphony Orchestra, was guest soloist at the orchestra concert in March. Mr. Day is a graduate of Warren. Joseph Barr, Indiana’s 11th district representative to Congress, spoke to government classes on the functioning of the governing body. Following his speech, Mr. Barr opened the meeting to questions and discussion from the floor. At one pep session preceding the Warren-Ben Davis basketball game, cheerleaders presented a skit predict- ing the Warriors’ ability to “scalp those Giants.” Students file from the auditorium following one of the convocations. No programs were scheduled until Christ- mas when the auditorium was finally completed.
