Varied Activitief Marie aibz Li e Our flag goes up over Warren Central every morn- ing at 8:30 to signal the beginning of another school day. The days are pretty much the same, except when the routine is broken by convocations. At one such convocation Warren was presented a special First Class Commission by Dr. Edgar Smith of the Indiana De-a partment of Public Instruction. Warren was one of the twelve high schools in Indiana to receive this award. It is based on degree qualifications of teachers, teacher-pupil ratio, library facilities, and other areas of judgment. A coat check at basketball games relieved fans of their coats and saved them the trouble of having to go down under the bleachers to retrieve them. Every- one looked forward to the sock-hops after home games where they learned many new dances and met their friends. At Christmas, students brought food and donated money to help those that are less fortunate than them- selves. The Feed-a-Family project was sponsored by the Student Council. For all those who enter the halls of Warren, there are many extra activities to occupy a student's daily life. Oksana Petruniw examines the Christmas tree in the foyer and the boxes of food ready to be given to a needy family. Sock hops are an important activity of school life. After most of the home basketball and football games, students gathered in the cafeteria to dance, see who came with whom, and practice the latest steps. 21

With the completion of the new gymnasium, War- renites saw their team end with a winning record. For the seniors, this was the first time during their four years at Warren.
