Juniors and SCA conduct universal talent quest THE HI-Y’S “JIVIN’ JAVA MEN” LIVEN UP TALENT.-STUNT NIGHT WITH THEIR SLAPSTICK MUSICAL ANTICS. A SYMPATHETIC FAIRY GODMOTHER (Cherry Wolstenholme) promises Cinderella (Ann Lyon) that she may attend-the ball. The whir of lawnmowers and a scent of wild onions drifting through open windows heralded the arrival of spring. Revels intermixed lethargy with restless energy as they sat in classrooms and watched sun and shadow making patterns on the lawn. Dreamily listening to birds sing, they often found themselves starting and stammering at a question posed by an instructor. Juniors and SCA workers directed a part of their energy to their joint production, Talent-Stunt Night, set against a background of “Heavenly Stars.” After an astronaut, searching for talent, entered outer space, a parade of entertaining Rebels crossed the stage. The fairy tale “Cinderella,” somewhat altered, came to life; cavemen pounded on logs and rocks; dancers and singers performed. When the procession ended, judges made their decision and awarded prizes to the Hi-Y and in- dividual acts of folk singer Dave Jones and the Preps, a jazz instrumental group. Athletes involved in spring sports began to stay after school as teams initiated their practice season. Voices echoed from the front parking lot to the football grid- iron, both temporarily occupied by the track team. Joming the other groups of Rebels, cindermen did lim- bering-up exercises and ran time trials. Throughout the school a new sense of urgency be- came apparent. The late rush of term papers, parallel reading, and book reports was beginning. Year’s end was almost in sight.
