THE SAXOPHONE QUARTET The saxophone quartet consisted of Bob Nowers, baritone sax: Patty Thornbrugh tenor sax: Dwaine Dynes, E flat alto sax and Phyllis Decker, first E flat alto sax. Phyllis Decker was the only remaining player from last year's quartet, the other three started this year. Because of Mr. Vitto's excellent instruc- tion, the quartet was very successful. This year it won first place in the district, and also first in the state music contest. ANGLE SHOT This photograph of the band was taken of the gymnasium. It from the balcony shows the band in action. The band went to Moline this year and ranked second di- vision. The annual spring concert was a huge success. Mr. Vitto is very sorry to lose eight band members this year. but he is filling their places with students who will carry on extremely well. We are sure that the seniors will miss playing in the band after they have graduated. MEMORIES The annual formal Valentine dance was held in the high school gymnasium Feb- ruary 14. This event was sponsored by the Student Council. The gymnasium was decorated beauti- fully by the Student Council members, with a red and white false ceiilng.

LIBRARY STAFF The library at our high school is one of the favorite places of the students. Some of the things found in the library are books, both fiction and reference, current magazines, and the daily newspaper. It is each student's privilege to use the library for necessary school work as well as for his own enjoyment. Mrs. Browning is in charge of the library and each period stu- dent librarians are on hand to help other students find the desired books and keep the library in a neat order. STUDY HALL Study Hall is a room where every one goes to study when they are not in classes. There are eighty-five seats, and our libra- ry is located at the front of the room. We have a wide variety of books and reading matter. Our seating arrangement is very simple. The seniors sit in the row next to the windows, next is the juniors, then sophomores, and last but not least the freshmen. G. A. A. The Girls' Athletic Association organized in October.

DRAMA SENIOR PLAY Our senior class play, Tattletale, was presented on November 14 under the direction of Mr. Osborn The entire play takes place in Fairview, at the Blaine home. Patty Blaine, the tattletale, has many great ambitions. I-ler greatest wish is that she will be a famous author. She has written a story entitled Her Secret Heart, which she hopes Paul Cummings will publish in his paper. Ida May, her girl friend, takes the story to the paper for her so that no one will guess her identity. The next day Patty is very happy until she finds that she has sent her diary instead of the story. In her dairy she has not only written her own opinions on certain sub- jects and people, but her family's also, and, of course, the Whole town is very much insulted. Since Patty has signed the name of Ermintrude de Lacey no one knows the identity of the writer, everyone is wondering who she is and threatening her life. In the end the town realizes that everything said was true and decides to im- prove themselves and the school.

Imagine a girls' sorority house on the campus of a well known university. It is Saturday night and the girls are ready to go out for the evening. Some are wishing that they could stay in when suddenly one of the girls is taken ill. A doctor is called in who says that it is chicken pox and quarantines the house for two weeks! VVhen one knows that several of the boys who have been working the house are quarantined also, one can readily visualize the many screamingly funny com- plications and mix-ups that follow. ln Campus Quarantine, the author has taken an in- cident that really happened and has woven a play that is so packed with funny lines, humorous situations and witty dialogue, that an audience never experiences a dull moment. Yes, the juniors will be remembered for making this play live in the minds of the audience. Eugene and Louis in their pajamas, and Ed as a nurse will never be for- gotten.
