22 Spring Arrives with April Forensics Azaleas bloomed; students sat in the courts and talked to friends during lunch and activities periods; suntans were evident. With the arrival of spring, however, also came term papers, banquets and April Forensics to keep Falcons busy. Interested students participated in intramural oratorical and spelling contests, from which winners were sent to district and state competitions. Kathy Smith (LEFT) takes a controversial and thought-provoking subject, ‘‘New Morality,’’ and transforms it into an award-winning entry in the Forensics. (BELOW) Students Anne Shenberger, Carolyn Dewey, Cheryl Emory, Pam Bristow, Marilyn Gibson, Anne Pentecost, Diane Martin, Riggie Bagan and Stelio Parthemos take advantage of the warm sunshine in the cafeteria court.

Dance Revives Gangster Era Poker chips and roulette wheels created the mood for the February 15 Hi-Y — Y-Teens dance, ‘‘Guys and Dolls.” A blue metallic Model T added to the atmosphere and bank robbers and card sharks watched from the walls. The days of gangsters and prohibition were brought to life again as students danced to the music of Ron Moody and the Centaurs. The SCA Carnival, a project designed to raise money to help pay for new band uniforms, set the gym ablaze with crepe paper and other circus decorations on the night of March 13. A coffee house, sponge throw, tricycle race and other contests provided amusement for young and old. “Guys” Cliff Culley and Jim Gordon and ‘‘Doll'’’ Debbie Lang are intoxicated by the atmosphere of a secret gambling casino. “But a royal flush beats a pair of deuces,’’ complains racketeer Kenny Hines (ABOVE) to George Kaempf, Robbie Gordon, and Janet Miller during a pause in the Hi-Y — Senior Y-Teens dance. Against the backdrop of a roulette wheel, Ron Moody and the Centaurs entertain for the Hi-Y — Senior Y-Teens dance. 21

Parachutes and Planes Accentuate Theme High-hanging parachutes, balloons and toy airplanes provided the atmosphere for ‘‘Up, Up and Away”, the March 16 dance sponsored by the three publications staffs and members of Quill and Scroll. Students danced to the soul music of the Delshons. Anticipation and suspense mounted until the climax of the evening, when current editors announced the new junior staffers and the positions assigned to 1970 senior members of Talon, Listen, and Le Journal. ‘« - . and Stelio Parthemos is the new editor-in-chief,’’ concludes Mike Ward as he announces Le Journal's new staff at the annual Publications Dance.
