“Smile pretty everyone!” The fun and hard work of summer institutes are over, but many fond memories remain. Here, Pam Patterson, Helen Mosora, Jo Ann Bacon, Judy Dust, Sandi Barney, Karen Soderstrom, and John Reiter pose for Make-up, scenery, character analysis, and new friends were parts of the Drama Club workshop this summer at Indiana University. Pam Ross and Denny Dugan could fill a book with their workshop experience. Doug Bateman. Each instituter received a supply of Christ- mas Cards to send to the students they met at Indiana University and Michigan State University this past summer. David De Jean, Salem-Washington high school, received the High School Journalism Institute scholarship to In- diana University from Professor Gretchen Kemp. John Reiter, Highland, and Frank Pipino were named alternates.

Jo Ann Bacon, portraying Mrs. Savage, discusses costuming for the all-school play with co- directors, Mrs. Kay Holmberg and Mr. Eddy Black. 17 Soap and water, cold cream, make-up and an abundance of tissue are necessities in the theatre, as Hannibal (Dave Smith) learns while practicing. The pungent smell of oil paint on newly-sized scenery flats deadened many a hardy appetite as it greeted all newcomers to the cafeteria. Students stood aghast at their first sight of a once familiar face smeared with the grease paint of a frustrated make-up artist. The frantic movements of the prompter suggested performing of a strange religious rite by some voodooist. Prop committee members scurried through the halls carrying eight-foot planks with, perhaps, a doll tucked under one arm. Cast members of the vocal department spent long hours rehearing for Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Gondolier,” while those students interested in dramatics spent tedious hours in prepara- tion for “The Curious Savage.”

Summer Institutes Challenge Ability and Able Minds Ambitious students need more than a regular school year of events to fulfill their desire for knowledge. Summer institutes beckon, and their call is answered enthusiastically. A few days at a college give participants a chance to learn about a certain subject in depth. Girls’ and Boys’ Staters have the experience of establishing a mock state government — complete with governor and voters. Students attending the Drama Workshop learned of the theatre; make-up through acting inclusive. Journalists spent many hours gaining knowledge of publications. Those having a special interest in science participated in the Science Seminar, where they explored our fascinating world. Highland’s Hoosier Girls’ and Boys’ Staters, Jim Larrabee, Steve Eastham, Bill Fitzwater, Mary Ann Ulrich, Gerry Kelley, Gordon Bassett, and Jean Susorney took part in mock state governments formed. Talking over some of the many new ideas learned at the Student Council workshop and the Science workshop are Steve East- ham, Mary Anne Ulrich, and Jim Larrabee. Sessions lasted for a one week period.
