Seventh graders enjoyed a Soc Hop on October 26 at David E.Williams Middle School. Students dressed as greasers or socs, asstudents once did in the late fifties and early sixties. The studentscelebrated and acknowledged the novel they just completed,“The Outsiders.” Students joined in the festivities at the Soc Hopsuch as the twist, car hop, hand jive, hula hoop, root-beer floats,and many other fun activities. Seventh graders had a “PennyWar” in October to fund their Soc Hop. A Penny War is a fun andcreative fifties fundraiser to raise money. Losers are the bigwinners in this type of competition, so everyone walks awayfeeling victorious while never losing sight of the purpose to raisemoney for a worthy cause. In the Penny War, students usepennies and dollars to gain in the money war, and any silver iscounted against the opponents in the war. In this instance, it ishomebase against homebase in competition to win a pizza partyand an ice cream party for the runner-up. The home base bringingin the highest score wins the pizza party, while the secondhighest winner receives an ice cream party. The funds are used toprovide a Soc Hop for the students and awards at the end of theyear. This year, the first place winner was Room 104. The runnerupclasses were Rooms 108 and 103.Athletic Director Mitch Galiyas recently made a presentation to the school board to outline the various athletic programs andachievements in the district.
