Juniors give Curtain Going Up Curtain Going Up was a very unique play in Which the plot was centered around-of all things-the presenta- tion of a junior class play. On stage, the cast members encountered many comical situationsAriValry and jeal- ousy over parts, the disappearance of the playbooks the first day of rehear- sal, a set of comically cr-ossed-up high school romances with a capital R, or stagestruck heroine, the appearance of a once famous but now forgotten stage star, friction between the faculty, and, to top it all off, a romance tor the director herself-situations probably only too real to the juniors after three Weeks of rehearsing. However, the pro- blems were worked out and the fic- tional characters' play was a big suc- cess, just as Curtain Going Up Was a real triumph for the juniors.

South intrigued 1956 prom-goers A movieland premiere . . . a Sou- thern plantation garden party . . . a gay midnight-to-dawn whirl - these filled the l956 Prom with wonderful moments to remember. We danced until midnight in Tara Gardens and strolled down the dimly lighted gar- den paths to gaze dreamy-eyed at a sparkling f-ountain. Then, at the stroke of twelve, Scarlett O'l-lara was left alone in her gardens, as we stepped out for A Night in the Big City '- activities planned and sponsored by the P.T.A. to give us an unforgettable night. A late show, a nightclub, and breakfast at dawn left us happily tired but unwilling to end this, our first all-night Prom. Couples dance to the music of Tiny Biggs' orchestra under u canopy of white, delicate pink, and soft green streamers. ws?NwR E -tw-w .ww sw My-X ,ww
