ATHLETE ' S FEAT Ron Gist and his band filled the South gyms with a swinging beat at the annual S Club dance, Athlete ' s Feat, and Southern couples glided across dance floors canopied by blue and black decorations. A refuge for weary feet and thirsty throats was pro- vided in the balcony, and many danc- ers took advantage of the tables and chairs to rest and to talk. The spider.

DOUBLE DOOR Mystery and suspense set the mood as the Senior Drama Class presented the melodrama Double Door. The able acting of Jane Sloan, Doug Puckett, Gail Matson and Shari Smith, who played leading roles, and the directing of Mrs. Nordstrom transformed the written words into a suspenseful drama. As the plot unfolded, tension mounted and the audience became intensely in- volved in the situations. The curtains closed on the last act and thunderous applause indicated that the hard work which went into the production was worth all efforts of the participants. Humorous Valentine corsages are worn in un- orlliodox places at Cupid ' s Beau. Paper hearts and red streamers decorated the Thomas Jefferson gym while carrot and radish corsages decorated boys ' jackets at Cupid ' s Beau, the traditional girl-ask-boy Valentine dance. Southern Belles had a chance to treat their favorite Reb to this dance, which was sponsored jointly by the TJ and South Junior Red Cross Chapters. Music provided by the Hilltoppers filled the spacious gym while couples glided about the dance floor or sat at the sidelines and talked. The magic of the evening was brought to a close as the last dance was ployed, and dancers drifted into cool, starlit February air. Tes? Yes! says Linda Morse in a tense scene from the play Double Door. CUPID ' S BEAU Faculty chaperones chat congenially at the Junior Red Cross Dance at Thomas Jefferson.

ALL-SCHOOL SHOW Kathy Mitts executes a difficult move in her acrobatic number in South Terrific. ' South Terrific? ' Terrific! The curtcdns parted, showing South Rampctrt Street, the senior dcmce line appeared kicking to the strains of Mimi, and South Terrific had begun. Some talented Rebs sang and danced and others demonstrated remarkable ability on musical instruments as the show progressed from Rampart Street to the South Pacific and to our own Southern Customs. The Hawaiian War Chant and an authentic hula dance set the mood for the South Pacific scenes while dance lines to Dixie and Fasci- ncrtin ' Rhythm showed the Southern Customs hospi- tality of Southern Belles. Patriotically, all costumes in the final act were of purple and white, and as the curtains closed the audience demonstrated an exub- erant enthusiasm. Randy Christman, John Fowler, Dean Guinn and Rick Works blend their voices in an old English ballad.
