The cast of MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS takes a bow after their last performance. We . . . For the students with dramatic, artistic, or musical ability, Bloomington High School offers many opportunities for per- fecting and expressing their talents. An outlet for expression is one of the many plays presented during the year. This year Proscenium Players presented MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS by Sally Benson for their annual three-act play. The play is the story of the Smith family at the time of the St. Louis World's Fair. The story centered around the familyls plans to move to New York and the children's plots to stay in St. Louis. Other chances for performing behind the footlights were the Thes- pian play, the Senior play, Drama Night, and school convoca- tions. The bands, orchestras, and choruses provided training and experience for the musically talented student. Every stu- dent in the Varsity Band will remember the thrill of his first concert, half-time show, or parade. For every hour of per- formance, many more hours were spent in practice and drill. The Madrigal Singers had the opportunity of appearing be- fore audiences in the community as well as before school audiences. Art exhibits and displays gave the artistic student a chance to show his work. In the art classes, students were taught not only drawing and painting but the art of making pottery and jewelry. Mrs. McNaughton, dramatics director, instructs Melinda Baganz in the proper way to do a queenly curtsey.
