VVarrenettes honored their mothers at the annual Valentine lea on February 14. The social niceties of the receiving line with school officials preceded the musical program in the auditorium and formal tea tables in the cafeteria. They said this was the worst winter of the century. Twice in January the thermometer registered 18 degrees below zero. Social Events Continue On October 22, 1962, Americans across the land heard President John F. Kennedy’s speech to the nation on the Cuban crisis. His announcement of a military blockade of the tiny island off the coast of Florida buzzed through Warren for many days. It was a major discussion topic in social studies classes. Students talked about it and became more aware of the importance of news media in their lives as headlines continued to disturb their peace of mind and remind them of their relationship to the world. After the excitement subsided, student interest re- turned to school events reported in the school papers at the bottom of the rack. The “home” paper. The Warren Owl, placed its 38th anniversary issue in its readers’ hands. By that time, students were anticipating the Warren- ettes’ Christmas dance. The student intermission show included Roy Fentz as the seniors’ counterpart of Vaughn Meador, JFK imitator. The Valentine Tea, also sponsored by the Warrenettes, was another big social event, not in the least hindered by the cold and snow that stuck around throughout most of January and February. eou 9m f br f«trm V 1962-63 was an eventful year, filled with crisis and climax.
