It also re- quires people like Ellen Graham, at the piano, who are willing to give their time without receiving any applause. I6 THE QUICKEST WAY to clear our auditorium is to scream, FlRE! For nearly a year Classen High School did with- out an auditorium, for on January 6, l957, the interior of the auditorium was destroyed by a fifteen minute fire. On January l4, l958, the re-built auditorium was dedi- cated by Dr. Melvin Barnes, Superintendent of Schools. THE SOUND of mellow music filled the auditorium throughout the performance of Kiss Me Kate. One of the most colorful scenes was that of Pat Gentry, Laurence Justice, Jack Love, and Tamara Long stepping into the spotlight to sing We Open ln Venice.
