What conics from our ceramics classes may not be Dresden China, but at least now we have proper appreciation for the dinner plates we have broken? Future architects find they first must learn to draw a straight line. Mr. Tarallo always greets us with a smile of welcome. I Work Requires Concentration Page Burdette. Ana Sol. and Miss Vick take care of the money transactions in the school bank at lunch time. We soon found out that classwork was every bit as important as outside activities. The inevitable tests soon began to rear their ugly heads. There were so many new teachers and courses! Our dormant minds were prodded into action. We were proud to say that classroom panel discus- sions were not rigged as opposed to the ill-fated tele- vision quiz shows! The familiar reports and research papers were once more heajjed upon us, but we some- how survived that trying period of getting back into the groove and went on to show our teachers that we had grown up. The school bank was a hive of activity as eager stu- dents rushed to buy budget cards, pay shop fees, and deposit savings. Down the hall at the school store some- thing new was added during the year in the form of a wide selection of paper back books. They covered a myriad of subjects from The Mouse Thai Roared to A Short History of the Civil War. Soon after school opened, Washington was visited by the distinguished first citizen of the U.S.S.R., Mr. Nikita S. Krushchev. Although Mr. K’s” schedule was rushed, he and his entourage were represented by a brief ap- pcarance at our talent assembly. Fortunately, classes were not eternal, and at the end of the day our fleet of busses was ready to take us home — where we could do our homework. We just couldn't escape. 17

 Lola wanes you,” say Vicki Tcil, Ana Sol, and Patii Williams! Make Believe Under Mr. Dalla Santa’s patient direction, deter- inined-to-bc-successful actors presented an excellent drama year. Taming the Shrew, B.C.C.’s first production, gave the audience many new sights, from Pctruchio’s spanking the Shrew to the male actors in short togas! This theatre-in-the-round production was hilariously amusing and all saw Shakespeare in a different guise. The students were so wrapped up in the tragic Glass Menagerie that few noticed the couch when it collapsed during a tender scene between Laura and Tom. A vivacious, enticing Lola and a shy, boyish Joe Hardy held in bond by the cunning Devil Applegate, plus scads of other characters, gave much variety and enjoyment to the hit-musical Damn Yankees. Replacing the Extravaganza, this play was anticipated and enjoyed by the whole school. Senator and Yankee baseball fans alike! The result was a cast of 450. 19
