STUDENT LIFE By Carole Reinert The freshman attendants and Jane Coringrato ride the patriotic senior class float. Bumper-to-bumper with fun. Whitehall day at Dor-ney Park was deemed a success despite the thunderstorm which dampened spirits. Those who work hard play hard; a summary of high school life know only by the students. Nightlife was the time for students to relax among friends and forget the pressures of school. Dances and athletic events provided ordinary weekend entertainment. In addition to these activities, there were a few traditional and special occasions. Romantically inclined couples spent serious moments together at the proms, creative talents were expressed on the Homecoming floats, and the games at the Spring Festival satisfied those with humor. Teenagers dropped their mature attitudes and acted as children May 18 as they had complete reign of Dorney Park. Although a thunderstorm hampered the evening, entertainment was found in devouring the famous treats at this park. While waiting for the raindrops to cease stomachs were filled with anything from candy apples to soft ice cream to french fries with vinegar. It wasn’t such an unusual sight during the week of Homecoming to see a few students asleep in every class. After working into the wee hours of the morning in a mad rush to finish the floats on time, it was no wonder there were more baggy eyelids during the last week of October than at any other time. Queens were in abundance but the joy and happiness felt by each queen was also shared by everyone in attendance. Dilligency and determination on the part of many turned social events into enjoyable realities. Three members of the junior class executive committee had to rush from school to decorate the ballroom at the Americus Hotel for the Junior Prom. Recuperating from the trip to Florida in 24 hours, 84 members of the senior class had enough energy to make it through their prom. Student Government carried the responsibilities of running the Spring Festival practically alone since student support was lacking. While some may question the worth of all of this effort, the answer could be the reward in seeing things enjoyed by others. “Even though the response was sometimes missing, continued ' What are ya. nuts? thinks Jane Miller, top. as she is announced senior prom queen. Bottom Left: Overcome with emotion. Lisa Blum is awed as she is named queen with friends sharing in her happiness. Bottom Right: Smiles of enjoyment can be seen on peoples’ faces whether they were dancing or just listening to the music. 8
