Crater High School By JUDI DAVIS This was an important week for seniors. Starting Monday and continuing through Wednesday, Lloyd Bissell from Kennall-El-lis studios in Eugene was at Cra ter to take senior pictures. There were some senior Eng lish class interruptions, but the students attended most of their classes. At all times of the day, seniors could be seen anxiously awaiting their turn for the pic tures to be taken in the cafete ria. The senior girls voted for something a little different this year. A process known as"drap ing" was used instead of the us ual sweaters. The "drape" was a piece of black velveteen ma terial with a cowl neckline. TheJ senior boys chose to wear a suit coat, light shirt, and necktie. For the second time in a sin gle year, Crater has had a school bond election.
