The Great Snows of '78

During Founders' Day weekend "we remember before God on these days the founders of this school." Among those we honor are John Bedlam Howe, his wife Frances Marie Glidden Howe, Reverend John Heyward McKenzie. and James Blake Howe. Although it was a rainy Founders' Day weekend this year. our spirits were not dampened nor were our activities hampered. We readied for the big weekend by giving our football teams rousing pep rallies on Friday afternoon. Saturday was filled with drill competitions and football games. "D" Company won't forget that they came out victorious in drill competition this year. Lower School challenged Central Noble and the Upper School vied against Lakeland in the football contests. The highlight of the weekend was the Founders' Day formal dance. The upper school gym was transformed into a fall festival of colors through the efforts of the senior class and Mr. John Pagin. During the evening Miss Nancy Walworth, escorted by Ed Montenegro, was crowned queen of the dance. The final review of this season was given on Sunday before many parents and friends. During the afternoon Parent/Teacher conferences were held with a good attendance reported. Sunday evening came upon us quickly and with it the close of another Founders' Day weekend.

Lower School cadets and guests enjoyed a "spooky' Halloween party on October 27. Witches and ghouls decorated the canteen as well as the traditional Jack-a-Lanterns. Halloween sound of clanking chains, ·moans, and shrieking black cats emitted from the room of this annual lower school party.

Bob M ustillo garbed as a scarecrow took the best costume prize with Mark Sill as a 'pillow Person' placing second. Following dinner and the costume parade, we tried our luck at bobbing for apples. Some of us made a big 'splash' in this event.

The evening was a great success, especially through the efforts of Mrs. Murray who donated her time in decorating, providing the cakes and hosting the party, and of Mr. Mitchell who contributed ground sirloin steaks to a hungry crew.
