Mr. Fluke, Mrs. W'illiams Using a Hallowe'en theme, the freshmen started the year's activities by giving a party for the eighth grade. Later another party was given in honor of St. Valentine's day. A false ceiling of all colors was used and a nice evening was enjoyed by all. The class has chosen the colors kelly green and White for class sweaters. They will be ordered early next fall. The ninth grade Red Devils really amazed the students, community, and every- one in the Trico League during basketball season this year. They played a lot of the second string games and won most of them. The freshmen have enjoyed an unforgettable year and are looking forward to three equally successful years in high school.
