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.

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.

Fantasticks Provokes Laughter and Tears A mood of fantasy and tenderness was suggested by the nostalgic tunes and romantic scenes in the spring play, The Fantasticks. A parable of love, The Fantasticks told the heart-warming story of a young couple whose fathers pretended to feud in order to draw the young people together. A bandit for hire, mock rape and an obliging wall contributed to the theme of the play. Produced by the Arion players on the nights of April 18 and 19, The Fantasticks provided the audience with an evening of enjoyment.
