The track team spent many after-school hours running hurdles at Thom Field in preparation for inter-school competition.

Time after time, teachers were forced to call sleeping students back from their daydreams of the leisure summer soon to come. Studying, an unwelcome task at any time of the year, was especially trying on those warm, sunny days of April, May, and June. Juniors working diligently on the prom was a sure sign of spring. This year's theme was imaginatively portrayed with a Taste of Honey. The cast of Harvey , Mary Chase's popular comedy, rehearsed nightly in anticipation of its spring premiere. Music students were busy practicing for district and state solo-ensemble contests, concert and marching competition, and their annual spring concert.
