(By Nancy Tubert
A special Thanksgiving Day as

by both the faculty and student body.

mated spirits and in no time the
auu:tonum was tided wath exhilarat
ing cheers. The majorettes, who made
their tirst public appearance at th s
pep rally. displayed a "tirst-rate" ex

three months tune. Several of the
faculty members spoke and wished
the team all the luck in the world.
Pupils wore dismissed at twelve
o'clock and afternoon classes were
omitted.
T < most people Thanksgiving Day

..otba!) season. Putnam meets its old
rival. Killingly. The grounds were
jammed with anxious spectators ner
vously waiting to witness the tra
ditional Turkey Day game. There was
a st r of excitement and wonder in
the air as both school bands piayed
their songs proudly and whole-heart
-dly. Putnam was aiso assisted by
the V.F.W. Drum Corps, under di
rction of Fred St. Onge. This band
received second place in the State of
Connect cut and won the \ F.W .
championship. Doth teams then en
tered the field and exuberant cries
and cheers arose from the people. The
game was on!
Putnam cheerleaders were at their
best in their w h te pique outfits and
biue tights. Each girl wore an ex
quisite white chrysanthemum, trimmed
voh blue ribbons. KiHicriv cheer
