Except for a fezu of-the-beaten-path happenings, most students were fairly well settled in the routine of homework, questions at the end of the chapter, research papers, themes, etc., etc., etc. The one really bright spot of the month was the honor brought to West Deer by Roberta Grass, who was selected first runner-up in the annual jay-Cee Queen contest. Then, too, Mr. Kristohk made a successful debut as faculty director of the annual senior class play. This year it was a real laugh producing comedy, The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. With no Friday night basketball games to attend now, some returned to a movie viewing schedule that included such productions as Cleopatra, The Longest Day, Son of Flubber, Days of Wine and Roses. And if you didn't go to the movies, maybe you joined some of your friends in the latest fad-constructing love chains, enormous lengths of interwoven chewing gum wrappers.

The social season and spring fever-with those hnal comprehensive exams thrown in for good measure. This is the traditional April around West Deer. The comprehensives are given as reviews of the entire year's work. They usually turn out to be real block-busters. In other events around school, most of the classes had their annual spring class parties. The big one was the seniors' dinner-dance, enhanced with an Hawaiian theme. Adding their names to the '63 Hall of Fame were popular seniors Bob Uchic and Barb Burns who were selected King and Queen of Sports. '34-.lL.

This one was a compromise between a skirt and slacks-called a culotte.', Although the style had possibilities, school authorities and the public in general felt they were a bit un-lady like in this current era of civilization. Thus they were banned for wear in the classroom. Baseball was re-introduced as a varsity sport at West Deer this year after an absence of several seasons. It was strictly a building season for Coach Vitkay's young squad who worked on the needed experience to put WD back on top in baseball-a position the school held triumphantly for many years. 18 sv ,. - , .2 --fl.,-ffl N '
