CHIMES OPEN MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS Through the efforts of Secretary of Publicity Diane Sparling and her committee, the student body was kept informed of all games, plays, dances, meetings, and other school activities. Creativity and originality were the qualities stressed when the publicity committee met to make posters for the approaching school events. The halls were never bare, as a result of the many posters which were hung at advantageous places. Publicity committee normally met after school hours in the art room, and with the help of Mr. Jack Frost, the publicity committee sponsor, the posters provided interest and support for school affairs. Decorating the school for Dedication Night was one of the many jobs which fell upon Diane's com- mittee. The warm greetings on the walls added greatly to the effectiveness of the Mitchell opening ceremonies. Daily announcements over the P.A. system were also sponsored by the publicity committee. Valuable information as Well as humor were provided to all of those who heard them.

The first job which faced committee head Kathie Graff was that of ac- quainting all students with the floor plan of the school. For three days before the start of school the cour- tesy committee, as well as the S.O., held pre-School tours. These tours decreased the number of lost stu- dents during the first days of school. Courtesy committee members were also in charge of the lost and found Office in the S.O. Room, and they sent out get-well cards, thank-you notes, and invitations. To highlight the Dedication activities, the com- mittee invited Astronaut Scott Carpenter and Mr. and Mrs. William Mitchell Jr., the son and daughter- in-law of General William Mitchell, to be the visiting guests of honor. As one of the school traditions started this year, courtesy committee was in charge of decorating the school at Christmas time. Halls and stairways were decked in Christmas splendor, and at night the courtyards were brightly lit with outdoor lights. The center of attraction was a decorated tree which dominated the cafeteria scene.
