Shirley Seybert, Joanne Sloane, l.ynne Clements and Melanie Dalton recreate the minstrel show period. cczfcm aim The school is an outlet for the talents of its students and also provides a social life for them. Today, in 1958, students enjoyed the Band Variety Show, Choral Club Operetta, A'The Prince of Pilsenf' and the Senior Class Play, Dear Ruth. The entertaining elements in 1908 were much the same. Students then were enter- tained by a choral sing, and a class play and for a dime could go to the Crystal Theatre- Home of Amusement, a vaudeville threatre, or for slightly more to a production at the Grand Hotel Opera House. AHS operettas, plays, and variety shows have become such an important part of school life that they are certain to stand the test of another 50 years.

Just 50 years ago in 1908 the first prom at AHS was held. On the twenty-second day of May a comparatively new affair was introduced among the already numerous social events prior to the high school graduation, namely the A'Senior-Junior Promenade given by the Sen- iors to the Juniors at the Country Club, the '08 book stated. This year's prom-goers took a trip Around the World in 80 Days, and the procedure was exactly reversed with the juniors feting the graduating seniors. South Side Junior High was the scene of the spectacular extravaganza on May 29. Keith Sylvester's band played as the couples Waltzed and twirled in an evening of enchantment. Junior boys elected Prom Queen Nancy Graves and her attendants Terry Montague and Ann Gellinger to reign over prom festivities. Ann Gellinger, Prom Attendant
