March 9, 1956 High Life Page Three Seniors Give Orders For Cards, Invitations For Spring Exercise Ijas-t week members of the Sen ior Class placed their orders for graduation invitations and cards from Stanley Johnson, manager of the school store. Representatives of each senior home room were given samples of the invitation and cards to take back to the home room, so th^t each senior could choose the type he preferred. The cards )were either engraved or printed. A stu dent buying engraved cards is given the plate, so that at a later time he can have more cards en graved. A majority of the number who ordered preferred the printed cards to the engraved ones. The cards could be ordered in quant ities of hundreds, with varying prices. The price of the engraved cards was from $2.50 to $3.50 per hundred; and the printed cards were $1.50 per hundred. The graduation invitations are 8 cents each and orders ranged frcm a very few to a hundred. These are engraved by the Star Engraving Company and will come May 11. Last year 455 seniors of the Sen ior Class ordered graduation in vitations and cards compared to 415 seniors of the Senior Class of this year.

It seems that the stork dropped in on Coach Glenn on March 1 and presented a baby boy to the Glenn family. A bulletin on the board in the teachers’ room read: "Coach Lody Glenn is the proud new father of a seven pound, eight ounce baby boy. Mother, new baby, and Father are all doing fine.” This increases the Glenn family to four; he has a little girl age five. Glenn’s only comment on his new born son was, "He has got the makings of a strong right tackle, a heavy-weight wrestler, and a powerful hitting baseball catcher!” Just like his Dad . . . eh. Coach?
