November 18, 1965 Junior News - As the grand finale to our play and weeks of practice, a pizza party was held in Nevada at Mrs. Mellor's home. We were royally treated to food and hospitality as Mellor's home was complete with a built-in love seat, fireplace and soft stereo music. We all relaxed, reminisced and enjoyed stuffing ourselves with pop and pizza.
