32 THE SENIORIAN Courage Wins Pam was very blue as she lay in her hospital bed and gazed out the window. Of course, it wasn't her fault or Mike's either, that she had been in an automobile accident only six days before the audition. Pretty Pamela Bailey was the songstress with Mike Mitchell's band. Four days before she had been mildly injured in an automobile accident, and the doctor had told her that she absolutely could not sing for the audition on Thursday. The band was trying out for an important spot on the air, and its rivals were three of the best bands of the season. As Pam watched out the window, she saw Mike come dejectedly down the steps of the studio across the street. As she suspected, he had just come from rehearsal which accounted for the woe-be-gone expression. The band was terrible. A singer certainly made a lot of difference, especially a singer like Pam. Late that night and all afternoon the band practiced trying to Hbreak inn Mikes sister, Judy, but it was Uno gof' She just didn't sing their kind of music. Finally the boys decided to get some sleep, and the more they practiced the worse they got. While the boys are worrying over their hardship, let us visit a rehearsal of Terry Townsend and his Troubadours. The band is good, but if you will notice there is a certain friction about it. It seems to be every man for himself. This same friction is present in the bands of Dan Daley and Garey Gray. In the latter band there is constant quibbling between the singer and the band. Now the time has come for the audition, and the Mitchell Madcaps are in a panic. Judy has given up, and they are entirely without a singer. The Troubadours have nnished, and the dreaded moment has come. just as Mike raises the baton, the door opens and a doctor enters, pushing a wheel chair in which Pam sits, pale but smiling. With the opening strains of HSkylark'l the band was at ease and as the echo of the last note died away, the sponsor came forward to pronounce Mike the winner. A cheer went up from the audience. Looking at Pam, Mike said, t'Cour- age always winsf' Carolyn Boucher Minstrel Show After several weeks of intensive rehearsing under the enthusiastic and peppy direction of Mrs. Ruby Briggs, the Minstrel Show was before the public on April 17 and 18. This production was one of the greatest undertakings ever sponsored by Groveton High School, and was complete with dancing, singing, playlets, and jokes-all moving smoothly through an hour and a half of novel entertainment. Both evening performances and matinee were well-attended by pupils and townspeople. The Glee Club The Glee Club this year was under the direction of Miss Kuusela. The Glee Club appeared in several assemblies throughout the year. The members were as follows: Maxine Hall, Glenna Chaloux, Mildred Cantin, Mary Esliger, Carolyn Boucher, Edna Mayberry, Priscilla Spaulding, Carolyn Langley, Betty Willis, Marilyn Mead, Geraldine Barnett, Patricia Mayberry, Verna Russell, Rita Goulet and Pianist, Lorraine King.
