D. Malney, J, Sachs, T. Swanson, R. Wendt, and J Moaerg put up play sets. S Showmon E Bow and T Swonson Work hard durinq an all-important rehearsal Seniors Present Qutstanding Comedy Actors pace impatiently backstage, the unsettled manner of the audience falls to an expectant hush-it is the opening night of George Washington Slept Here, a play presented to our community by the '57 seniors under the direction of Miss Rhodes and student directors Dennis Nustad and Danielle Bellefeuille. Back- stage crews worlced throughout the performance add- ing their special talents to make what might have been a good play, spectacular. As the curtain rises we find Mr, and Mrs. Newton Fuller purchasing an abandoned farmhouse in Penn- sylvania. Hoping to convert it into a summer residence, as-, x -D 1 i i.. if to N N 2 the Fullers set about digging a well and planting a garden. That is, until they are confronted with a mort- gage and informed that if it isn't paid they will lose their home. Mr. Prescott, a neighbor, appears as a villain who has been wanting to grab the house from the confused and bewildered Fullers. Then a map is found, it is proven that the Fullers own more land than they claimed. George Washington Slept Here is a production which leaves fond memories not only in the hearts of the seniors, but in the minds of underclassmen who en- joyed the play. x l ' s

Crane pauses for breath as rest of the clarinet section rhythm, and a dull retrain becomes a vibrant echo con,i,.,Ue5p,oYi,,g. as Robert H. Leuhrs, Detroit Lakes High School's new band director, conducts practice sessions in room 64. Whether it is marching in the heat of the Water Carnival parade or the cold of the last football game, the band is always adding zest and color to community and school activities. Our concert band has been busy since early this year practicing patiently for first the annual winter concert and then the spring concert. Pep band adds spice at games and pep tests, while the Combo, under the direction of Rudy Moe, plays for school dances. This year the band schedule has been changed to allow for regular 6th hour classes. Woodwind sect- ionals are given on Tuesdays and brass sectionals are on Thursdays. This change gives the students additional practice time and does away with after supper sessions. Band offers more to its participants than an extra- credit or a means of enjoyment. It develops a music- al appreciation which the band student will long remember.
