The troupe practiced once a week during the summer months, but once school started they worked out two morn- ings a week at 7 A.M. A practice session began with warmups, bet- ter known as physical exercise, geared toward relaxation and stretching of the muscles. It ended with tired aching backs. The members often had brainstorm sessions, in which they would sit around and think up mimes. Con- tinuing to be creative, they deve- loped their own make-up designs. It took 15 minutes per person to put on make-up and twice as long to get it off. The mime troupe had about 30 dif- ferent acts. They performed with the Mississippi Ballet Theatre and famous mime, Carol Lipshultz. In November, they worked with the drama department and presented three one act plays.

Coordination came into play as the ROTC Drill Teams shuffled around Callaway at practice and up Capitol St. at parades. The ROTC classes created two Drill Teams from the best young men and women in its ranks. With Doug Chambers and Sarita Jackson as commanders of the sexually segre- gated teams, they practiced Mon- day through Thursday to perfect and put together new march steps. From brain power to foot power, these organizations appealed to the intelligence and talent of Callaway ' s student body. Tannenbaum.
