B.D. TV PROGRAM-7:30P.M .... Dances, Plays, Athletic Games, and Parent-Teacher Meetings Kept School Open Eight Hours Parent Teachers' Association met the third Tuesday in every month for a program and business meeting in the Senior building. Once during the year the Junior building played host. Every year the organization sponsored a Fall Festival to provide funds for a gift to the school. ln the spring of l95l, a fine press camera was purchased . . . many of the Keyhole's pictures were taken with it. The picture shows the past presidents who were honored recently. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Vance, and past P.T.A. presidents Mrs. C. E. Bingman, Mrs. George Gaddy, Mrs. Mary Alice Goll, Mrs. William Wise, Mrs. H. Hadley, Mrs. Albert lllg, Mrs. Orville Shockley, Mrs. Arthur Marksbury, and Mrs. Carl Freund. During the year, both formal and informal dances were held at the school. On various occasions the barnlike gym was transformed into a Hawaiian scene, an old-time plantation, and a lovely Chinese garden. As the smartly dressed couples entered the Senior building, they were checked in by faculty members to make sure that no outsider crashed the party. Miss Mary McLane is ticket taker at the Sunshine dance. x.....-f X -- . . x 'IO

The music and dramatic departments planned programs to be given many nights during the school year, R. O. T. C. boys drilled along the road outside, boys' and girls' gym classes had strenuous work-outs, clubs met, day-by-day class work brought the coveted diploma closer. Yes, the B. D.-T. V. Broadcasting Studio was a busy place. I 2
