Queen Jani Clay Joan Parod julie Wisner Ballet, Clown Acts Performed in Coral Capers Miss Kathleen Lovett, swimming instructor, Carol Lind- gren, Nancy Thomas, and Carol Adamson are shown watching Sue Oehler perform part of a water ballet for the annual Dolphin show. In contrast to the courtly appearance of the Dolphin queen, Jani Clay, and her court, julie Wisner and joan Parod, was the setting of the 1955 Dolphin Show, Coral Capers, based on a Pirate-African theme. In the atmosphere of an African jungle, Wayne Rogers, master of ceremonies, announced the acts for the three nights' performances. Included in the show were ballet numbers, clown diving, exhibition relays and diving, and trampoline acts with both serious and slapstick stunts. For many years to come, the sound of the strains of music from the theme song of the Dolphin Show will bring back many wonderful memories of a wonder- ful show.

The antics of a typical high school delighted the audience of the three act comedy, Our Miss Brooks, given by the junior class on October 15 and 16. Revolving about the production of the class play, Lost Horizonf the curtain rises as Miss Brooks is persuaded by the principal of Madi- son High to direct the play. A feud with the basketball coach as to the use of the gym is provoked when Ted, the mainstay of the basket- ball team takes the leading male part. Troubles continue when the leading female part is given to Jane instead of Rhonda, daughter of the school board president, who doesn't approve of Miss Brooks. Surprising everybody on the night of the performance, the coach forgets his hard feel- ings and the show goes on.
