ACCOMPANIMENT FOR OUR DAILY BROADCAST For fourteen years, Mr. Omar Rybolt has furnished the musical background for our Ben Davis television programs. Under his direction, the Purple-Aires became an organization with a reputation extending far beyond our school and community. The band he directed is a colorful part of school life also. Everyone who took classes in room 201 remem- bered how attractive it was with its pictures, painted by Mr. Rybolt, its potted plants, and the cheerful drapes at the windows. Upper: Seventh period chorus class practices with student director. Lower: Fourth period girls' chorus listens to six ol its members. 19

TV ARTISTS HAD TO KEEP PHYSICALLY FIT Basketball, baseball, dodge-ball, volleyball, rhythmic dancing and calis- thenics were all a part of the girls' gym classes. The boys had a somewhat similar schedule. The two classes were held at the same time, but a sliding curtain separated the big gym into one unit for boys and one for girls. On the east side, Mrs. Kathleen Shaw's voice could be heard giving direc- tions, on the west side, Mr. Howard Wood coached his boys. At 2:30 the curtains were opened and another group took over. Sometimes it was wrestlers practicing on the mat, sometimes it was basketball boys patiently preparing for participation in scheduled competition. Two players on the girls' basketball team jump Mr. Howard Wood checks the boys' ability to for an elusive ball. ride a horse. 21
