January 1959 (Reprint)
SENIOR STUFF
The Senior class sponsored a Christmas Dance at the Legion Hall, Friday, December 26, 1958. A little tree was decorated and the walls were decorated in the Christmas motif.
Several former students, home from college, were present and they spent some time talking about old times and comparing notes on present activities.
The seniors are busy reading synopses of three-act plays in preparation for selecting one for their spring production.
SENIORS FOREGO TRIP
The Senior Class unanimously voted to forego the annual Senior trip to Washington, D.C.
During a class discussion, consisting of sixteen members, it was decided that, due to the work-circumstances and the lack of interest the group would rather not take the trip.
The Seniors plan, however, to have several parties which will be done primarily for entertainment purposes.
Plans are underway on what manner the seniors will utilize the money already accumulated from various activities.

MYSTERY STUDENT
GIRL:
One clue is my likeness below.
My brown hair and hazel eyes make a show.
I am short five feet
And ninety pounds sweet.
Although I am small, I can strut.
In a merry way I often show my stuff.
BOY:
Yes, I know the one above.
Sometimes she gives me a shove.
You may see me in either end of town.
I have brown hair and eyes, but I wear my favorite, blue.
You will often see me in my black leather jacket, too.
Last month’s mystery students were Joyce Workman and Gary Eagle.
Dip cooled cupcakes in corn syrup, then in chopped nuts and shredded coconut. It’s easy and good.
