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.

GAIL MARCONI AND Cathy Rhodes have trouble with a stubborn ladder while decorating for the Dedication Dance. ' WITH LIGHTING Gail Garrigan, secretary of social activities, has been the guiding force in molding her committee into an effective Working group. Under her leadership, the students worked long hours to design and create imaginative and original decorations for the dances. Planning the color schemes and naming the dances required many meetings. Different jobs done by the sub-committees were decorating the ceiling and the entrance, planning the lighting, running the cloakroom, and serving the re- freshments. These sub-committees helped to get the decorating done more quickly. The chairmen of the sub-committees Worked to complete their part of the whole. This year the decorative emphasis at the dances was on lighting. Many different colored lights were used used to create a romantic atmosphere in the cafeteria and patio, which also provided a pleasant spot for relaxing during the dances. The goal of the committee was to get away from extensive use of crepe paper. Mitchaballoo, the first dance of the year, was a grand opening. At the Dedication Dance, a large rocket in the center of the floor illustrated the school motto Look to the Future.
