Feature Years Program.
Another year has gone by and as
we look back over the countless days
of Flooding to and from school, the
countless pages we've read, the
countless papers we've handed in,
the countless tests we've taken-plus
the countless etc, etc, etcs. - there
are bound to be a few events that
stand out; few happenings that
will travel with us and linger in our
memories forever.
Probably one of the things that
had the greatest effect on the school,
was the decision of the Board of Ed
ucation to eliminate the tenth grade
from, our school next year.
Of course we can't forget how the
year was started with a bang, as the
art classes, and the Inter-Nos club
both received first prize in the Hal
lowe'en Parade, with their gigantic
replica of Mighty Joe Young" and
the scene enactment of Hannibal
crossing the Alps.
Remember how pleased we tenth
graders were when it was announc-
ed that clubs would be provided for
tenth grade students? These clubs
added much to the general welfare
Of the school. Following along with
this idea, we can't help remembering
the Scarlet and Gray" and the out
standing job the students have done
IN putting out weekly paper;
something that was done nowhere
else in Washington County. Natural
ly, Saved by the Belle" was one of
the brightest lights of the year.
We can't overlook the excellent
work done by the tenth grade girls
varsity, as this year they completed
their fourth urdefeated season to-
gether. A highlight of this record is
their twotime victory over HIS.
thus breaking a long standing ink.
Then there's Fun Night, and the
installation of the new curtains in
the auditorium, each a memorable
event
The health program took a step
forward this year with free dental
care and the services offered by DR..
Mary Warner.
Both field days were events to re-
member. Important to the elemen-
tary students were: the operetta, di-
rected by Miss Frances Cottrill, and
the annual patrol trip to Washing
ton. Band members will remember
their trip to Martinsburg, where they
participated in a tri-state concert
festival.
Then there were individual ac-
complishments that we won't readily
forget; for instance, Patsy Sham
baugh's winning speech for Democ
racy; Margretta McTavish's tempera
painting, which won first prize in
the County and second in the State
A.A.U.W. contest; Ronnie Doarn-
berger's poster, which took first prize
in the county; Nancy McCauley's ap-
pointment as one Of the four mem
berS of state Eta. convention
committee; and Mary Mateer's essay.
which took the first place prize in
the state VIEW. contest.
Last, but not least, was the tenth
grade prom, which was huge sue
cess.
We cannot attempt to mention all
the things that happened this year.
There are many incidents, both good
and bad, that occurred during our
daily routine, that we will always
remember-things that were of spe-
cial importance to each of us in
dividually. In such a case the good
always seems to come to the fore
front and overshadow the bad.
But taking everything into consid-
Grafton, as we look back over the
year, how can we help but say to
ourselves, ''This has been good
