A Busy Schedule To Take A Break Through a work-filled day at Clinton High, we find fun and relaxation in breaks from a rapid pace of study. After 55 minutes of lectures, formulas, and figuring, we pause........a cool drink at the water fountain and secrets and gossip with a close friend. Lunchtime provides a chance to primp, play ball in the gym, and hurriedly look over afternoon assignments. We pause to relax. When the 3:10 bell rings, everyone is eagerly awaiting a reviving snack and discus- sion of the day’s happenings at the local gath- ering place for students. At the end of the day, ballgames, dances, and meetings give us temporary enjoyment and stamina to face the next busy day at Clinton High School. We pause.............from our work and activities. A popular gathering place is crowded with students needing an “after-school lift. Seniors display the traditional Senior cords between classes as they discuss upcoming activities. One of the favorite dances this year was the Stroll; it caught on at the Sophomore party. - 11 -

“There’s No Business Like Show Business,” Agrees The entire cast of the '63 Capers assembles on the stage in the Finale as the activities of the production draw to a close. C.H.S. rendition of the Playboy Bunnies was a favorite number, featuring Keith Hamm, Dave Dowdy, Frank Peterson, Jim Ver- non, Don Wake, and Steve Hesler. As the curtain fell on the last act, both the applauding audience and the cast knew that the most successful musical revue ever held at C.H.S. had come to an end. The “Capers of 63,” produced and directed by Mr. Jack Haskell, who was assisted by Mr. Wil- liam Ballock, was undoubtedly the most lavish pro- duction ever sponsored by Clinton High School. Each of the ten glittering acts was a tribute to the performers and the stage crew, who had worked so hard to give the show its professional appearance. The “Capers of 63” had a cast of over one hundred. It was three months in rehearsal and played to capacity crowds at each performance. Anyone who has ever been a part of the Capers is aware of the tremendous amount of work and plan- ning that goes into a successful musical produc- tion. The C.H.S. Capers has been widely recog- nized throughout the state as one of the finest variety shows ever to be produced on a high school stage. It is with understandable pride that we sa- lute the “Capers of 63.” Compliments of: LEO BONOMO SERVICE STATION , „ WOODARD S D-X
