New. activities add zest to life at Warren More convocations and activity periods, new additions this year at Warren Central, gave the appearance of confusion, because for the first time, students were given the freedom to roam the halls. The activity periods were sort of a coffee break for students, in that they were able to purchase Cokes and food, attend club meetings during school hours, gather in- formally with friends or study. Assign- ments and tests made some students feel unprepared and confused. The spirit and screaming crowds at athletic events may have appeared confusing to some stu- dents. Homecoming added several new activities, which included certain apparel on certain days, a dance, floats, the parade and a pep session. Inner con- fusion existed in the minds of many, as seniors were faced with decisions, such as marriage, if and where to go to college and what kind of a career to choose, all of which would greatly affect the rest of their lives. But gradually people found ways to get away from the CONFUSION. PRINCIPAL H. LLOYD Cooper used this as part of a slide presentation in the school ' s first convocation of the year.
