The bookstore line forms each morning before school and during homeroom as students take advantage of this time to buy supplies from Mrs. Erma McClarren, manager. Numerous Tasks Twice a year students developed “writer’s cramp” as they filled out six schedule cards, listing their entire school routine. So went the daily r outine at W ' arren. Most stu- dents arrived by 8 o’clock, either by bus or by car. Since W arren is located outside the city limits, there are no public sidewalks. This tends to limit much of the foc3t traffic that other schools may have. Bus and automobile traffic was regulated by Mr. Her- man Xolte, driver education teacher, while every student driver was responsible to the student-im- posed safety and parking regulations. Our three-year-old .school was still a showplace to many, and it attracted visitors from all over the world. Wdien cjfficers from allied countries were at Fort Harrison for training, they visited schocjls and private homes in Wkirren Township to .see how Americans live and learn. These visitors viewed the Valentine Tea decoratic ns in the foyer, clothing- projects in the home economics department, chem- istry experiments in development, and other classes in acticjn. This grcjup was one among many groups of visitors for whom Warrenites took the opportun- ity to show off their building along with their warm Hoosier hospitality.

At the heart of any school is the spirit displayed by its student body. School spirit at Warren Central has been increasing steadily over the past few years and this year attained new heights. That spirit was displayed at the county basketball tourney, when the W arren Pep Band played at the Warrior games and contributed much toward arousing the enthu- siasm of the fans. At home games the W ' arriorettes provided color in their trim gold shirts and black shorts as they joined with the band in a pre-game salute. Sock hops, sponsored by the Student Council after home basketball and football games, gave stu dents a chance to let off steam. However, spirit still sought an outlet after the tvinter athletic season was over; so, in the spring of 1962, senior boys initiated the ' ‘Teeny-WTeny 500,” a ten-mile bicycle race around the cinder track. The race was a great success tvith the student body, who braved a hot afternoon sun to cheer their favorites. W arren’s three athletic queens reigned over this revival of school spirit as students elected their prettiest and most popular to represent fall, winter, and spring sports. Ecstatic girls crowd around Fall Sports Queen Susan E ' ink to exclaim their congratidations and pleasure. New Heights, Unites Students, Inspires Victories Among the highlights of the spring of 1962 was the Teeny- Weeny 500,” a bicycle race founded by and featuring senior boys on the cinder track around the athletic field. Sock hops, sponsored by the Student Council, were held after many home games. They were enjoyed by all who attended and were eagerly anticipated by the faculty. 9
