A SCWUHUFF PRODUCTION WINS ACOAf U ATU WS Eddie Cantor once asserted, “Everybody has two businesses—his own, and show business. ’ This year Apaches demonstrated their skill in the entertain¬ ment profession at the May Festival. Not only did the chorus exhibit its proficiency in song, but also a few members ventured into the realm of dance with a soft shoe routine to the tune of “Me and My Shadow.” Apaches, singly and in small groups, pro¬ vided their audience with song and music. Then, while the river roared, the wind sobbed, and the branches moaned, other performers gave a new interpretation of an old melodrama. Between acts, the audience watched a conscientious gardener who wandered about on stage diligently working over some sick flowers. Linda Little and John Vice stand regally after they were crowned as May Queen and King at the May Festival. Some more or less disreputable looking Apaches—Carla Hahn, Becky Bennett, and Ann Harvey—entertain at the Festival. First our hero must save the heroine and—curses—foil the villain. Then he may ask the fair maiden’s hand in mar¬ riage.

CONVOS RELIEVE UfGERV Six periods a day, five days a week, nine months a year, WHS students slave (well, almost slave) over their work. From time to time—although not so often as the students would like—the monot¬ onous, daily drudgery is alleviated by an institu¬ tion known commonly as a convo. This year the inmates of WHS entertained, were entertained, and were instructed in various fields. Each class pro¬ duced one convo; the chorus and the band sang and played for the student body. The Apaches watched presentations given by the National Aero¬ nautics and Space Administration and the Atomic Energy Commission. They saw championship table tennis and other exhibitions of learning, talent, and skill. From the first assembly introducing the teach¬ ers to the last convo presenting awards to outstand¬ ing Apaches, students and teachers enjoyed the change of routine and the entertainment provided by the convocations given at Wabash High School. These kids—Suzanne O’Conner, Cheryl Jamerson, Judy Little, Rita King, Cheryl Scott, and Connie Coressel— brighten the junior convo. These freshman girls bring up a provoking thought—what would happen if a squad of girls trooped onto the football field? THOSE LIVING DOLLS—(Seated) Lana Howard, Diana Titus, Cheryl Vrooman, and Nancy Brady. (Sstanding) Carol Ashby, Patty Culver, Sharon Grogg, Mary Ann Ka- foure, Cheryl Close. Jackie Schlemmer, June Ragoske, and Sylvia Pressler. 18
