UR Mrs. Woodruff, Director Winning new laurels this year, Mrs. Beulah Goring Woodruff, director of dramatics, showed samples of her splendid direction in La Posada and June Mad. PLAVS. La Posada, a one-act play of Christmas in Mexico, provided us with an interesting and entertaining as- sembly before the holidays. June Mad, noted for its bad luck which caused several delays, produced a result well worth waiting for. It was a story of adolescence and its problems, filled with laughs and dramatic scenes too. Each member of the well-chosen cast handled his part with perfect style, making the play one of the high-lights of the year. PAGEANT. Among the outstanding events of the dramatic year was the pageant, given in commemoration of the comple- tion of the new school improvement project. Composed and directed by Mrs. Clara Bell Cutler, its success was due to her able supervision. Students of both the high school and grammar school participated in the program, which was an allegory entitled The Pursuit of Happiness. Twenty-eight

Mr. Placek, Director THE BAND Under the direction of Mr. Ptacek, our school band has become one of the best bands in the state. During the past year the band member- ship has increased materially, and has raised its status from a band to an orchestra, playing not only marches and popular music but classical pieces. The band has made many appearances in which the members proudly displayed their new uniforms. Mr. Ptacek has also opened up and further developed many other fields of music, such as Glee Club, Coronets, and the Brass Choir. This is Mr. Ptacek ' s first year at Coro- nado. We know his future years will continue to be as successful as his first. Bad row, left to right: Marjone Klass. Gene Ftosio, Ann Baird, Milo Woodworth, Ralph Pyle, Joe Moran. Bimmie Burwell.
