Pep Club organized and took part in pep rallies honoring football and basketball teams. During the 45 minute periods the assemblies included such entertainment as skits, an Almost Anything Goes Contest, in which the classes competed against one another in such ways as the lifesaver race, pyramid building, three legged race, and other such events. Seniors won both contests with the juniors close behind.

The band, which played old and new songs, had the full attention of students throughout the program. Harrison was the setting for an exceptionally good program, A Day with President Lincoln.

Entering Harrison with enthusiasm, they learned their way around the school within the first few days. Though this year's freshman class was smaller than last year's, it was equal academically, stated Mrs. Marge Kinsey, freshman counselor. Election of the four class officers took place early in the fall. Those elected were Jane Weldon, president; Trent Smith, vice-president; secretary Shelley Walker; and treasurer Dana Henry. In order to raise money for their class picnic, freshmen sold canistered popcorn. Left-over money was placed in their fund for next year. Mrs. Kinsey took a group of freshmen to Harrison's feeder schools to discuss high school life with eighth graders.
