Junior-Senior Melodrama Captivates Audiences A. Sophomore Larry Powers and freshman Ricky Rhodes (ABOVE) move tables in preparation for the Freshman-Sophomore Dance. At the Dis- trict Forensics competition, Dan Kirkpatrick (RIGHT), delivers an award-winning speech concerning man’s creation of God. 20 Initiating the spring season on April 1, the under- classmen held their first dance, entitled ‘‘The Beat Goes On. ’ Music was provided by The Blazers, a Huguenot group. After intramural competition during the first week of April, seven contestants were chosen to represent Hu- guenot in the District Forensics Festival. To the delight of a proud school, all seven students won and went on to compete in the State Festival on April 29. Shots in the night and chases after fortunes made up the hilarious plot of Seven Keys To Baldpate, the Junior- Senior play. It was a melodrama of the most obvious kind, and the performances of the thirteen member cast delighted the audiences.

Expressing the appreciation and devotion of the Junior Class, Tommy Rodgerson presents a smiling Mrs. Frazier with a gift, as Bob Pease, Patti Stowell, Melissa Toler, Mike Ryman, Tommy Daniels, and Lynn Martin watch. 22
