Dennis Senz and Barbara Lein, Keith Schultz and Joanne JW Is Not in Things . . Mardi Gras proved to be an excitingly different Prom theme as the Class of nineteen hundred and sixty-six splashed red, white, and gold brilliance throughout the gym. As members of the Junior Class and their guests entered the lobby, they saw it had been transformed into a New Orleans beach complete with a boardwalk and quaint nov- elty shops adding to the carnival atmosphere. Club 44 was fashioned after a French quarter with one side of the room converted into a brick house complete with iron lattice trim and wooden roof. Wrought iron chairs added charm to the pictures. Red, white, and gold streamers accented the multi-colored backdrop on the stage. High back thrones seated the royalty, while a staircase led to the floor. Tablecloths of bright, gay t colors were topped with clowns in red, yellow, blue, and green. Suspense mounted as roses were handed to the boys. Who- ever received the yellow rose was to be king of the 1965 Prom. Roger Kruk opened his rose and handed it to his queen, Nancy Blackwell.

The Trapp family children played by Alice Seimens, Cheryl Meier, Adena Jacobs, Sheri Bloyer, Kris Strozin- sky, Nancy Blackwell, and Geri Gilfillan are introduced to the new governess, Kathy Griffin, by their father, Mark Quade. DRAMATICS Presentations Expose Student Creativity Long hours of memorizing lines, constructing scenery, making costumes, and applying make-up were necessary to make the two school plays the fine productions that they were. In March 'gThe Sound of Music was presented by the vocal music department under the direction of Mr. Richard Loy. This story of the Trapp family, famous Austrian singers, told of the Nazi take-over of Austria and of the consequent flight of the family into Switzerland. Mark Quade assumed the role of Captain Von Trapp. Kathy Griffin and Diane Ebert played the lead feminine parts of Maria, the woman who eventually marries the Captain, and Frau Schroeder, his initial fiancee. Byron Steiferud portrayed Herr Dettweiller, the self-possessed free- loader who was responsible for the appearance of the Trapp family as public singers. 'glnherit the Wind',, a play inspired by the Scope's Monkey Trial, was presented by the Senior Class of 1965 in May, under the direction of Miss Rita Walsh and student director Carol Webber. The play involved the discussion of the morality and Christianity of teaching evolution in schools. Bob Holmes assumed the role of William Harrison Brady, the prosecuting attorney. Allen Taylor as Henry Drum- mond, defended the accused teacher Bertram Cates, played by John Bauman. The pit band adds a pro- fessional touch to the musi- cal quality of the play. sf - 'flll 1---W. .W Q - fi Q X
