SCHOOL MEWS Crater High School By Lynn Malot To promote more school spirit and to enlarge attend ance at the pep assemblies, the Crater High faculty decided to give $5 in cash to the class that could make the most noise during the pep assembly for the Crater-Medford game Almost any noise was allowed except for guns, bombs, fire crackers, etc. The classes accepted the challenge and proceeded to make as much noise as possi ble. There were such noise makers as fire sirens, air horns, drums, cow bells. Kids ' beat on barrels and tin cans. The competition was keen, but the seniors were victorious. . The yell squad, besides leading yells, put on a hilari ous skit about "Katy the Kat- erpiller." The spirit was at its highest and best. Never have the halls of Crater known a more successful pep assembly. .. . The main topic of the last student council meeting was that of the 10th annual Home coming Friday. After much discussion, the council decided there would be a noise parade the afternoon before the game, with a decorated convertible for each class' princess to ride in. A prize was given for the best decorated car. They also decided that the council would decorate one big float for Comettes and the yell squad to ride in, The noise parade started at Crater and ended in Central Point with a big pep rally. The bonfire and serpentine were also discussed. Thursday evening there was the tradi tional burning of an effigy and a huge pep rally and ser pentine. The princesses , stood on a platform while the yell squad led the rally. A visit was made by the "Ku Klux Klan" when the effigy is thrown into the fire. The Ser pentine wound into Central Point from Crater and back again. The Homecoming princess es were announced last Friday by Leonard Warren, head foot ball coach. The princesses and queen were chosen by the football players. Senior prin cess is Becky Ferrell; Junior princess, Diane Rowe; sopho more princess, Sandra Beas ley; and freshman princess, Lorraine Hixson. The queen will be crowned during the halftime of the Crater-Yreka game, and then again during the dance following the game.
