This is die laslt pep rally this year!
To many of us seniors, the state-
ment will have exitina meaning. This
will not only be Ithe last pep rally of
tile year, but will be ithe last pep
rally of our high school days. And to
certain football boys, it will be their
last year Ito play on a high school
foiqltball team. Seniors, let’s make
this one the veay BEST!
After the pep rally ithere will be
B reception honoring Ithe senior foot-
ball players land the senior class
members. This is one of Ithe never
ceasing activities and projects that
the Student Council has done for
us.
Nancy Taylor has had one more
honor* added to her memories as she
was chosen “Student of the Month”
for October*.. Nancy is certainly to
be congratulated for she made a
very beautiful and worthy Homecom-
ing' Queen to reign over the activi-
ties last week. Also a hand of con-
gratulations should be extended (to
the Melon Vine staff. We’re really
looking forward to a good Melon Vine
this year. Good luck!
Thanksgiving is just around the
corner. Thanksgiving has many dif-
ferent meanings to different persons.
It may be that you’re thinking of
a good turkey dinner and Ian after-
noon of football or maybe taking a
trip to some of your relatives. What-
ever your Thanksgiving plans are,
remember to take a few* minutes out
on Thanksgiving Day fto Count your
blessings and be thankful to God for
them.
Tire expressions on Ithe faces of
WHS students in the hal on the
morning of Wednesday, November 9,
showed various emotions. Most had
stayed up until ithe wee houiis of
the morning rooting for then* candi-
date. So they were & little tired, but
not too tired for even more Cam-
paigning. Many students were happy,
and die Nixon supporters were only
hoping for the election ito swing to
their direction.. Most of the votes
have been counted, so the President
and Vice-President elect have farily
well been determined. We must re-
member that this is a democracy
and in a democracy die majority
rules.
