Keu Klub KI mp ltich circles were the center of attraction as lively couples and groups danced to the sounds of the Coachmen at the Key Klub Klomp on No- vember l7. Another memorable feature was the presence of the Ecuadorian Amigos, who added their own variations to the American dances and demonstrated some steps and dance figures of their country. Key Klub Klomp, always noted for its originality, was one of the most popular dances of the school year. Sounds of the Coachmen echo from the key-shaped backdrop at the Key Klub Klomp, held in the girls' gym. Senior Dlau An abandoned baby, a chunk of salomi and a trip to Africa started off a hilarious evening on November 3, as Senior Drama presented Farewell, Farewell Eugene. Under the direction of Mrs. Nordstrom, a cast comprised totally of seniors ably brought the lives of two matronly sisters into view of the audience. Long hours of hard work finally paid off for the performers as they received a lengthy ovation for their efforts. Their production presented an impressive pre- view of the quality expected from future plays throughout the year. Sara Downs gaily contemplates her up-coming African trip.

Rebel Roundup Eager shouts of greeting and loud cheers filled South Court as members of the student body gathered on October 20 for the annual Rebel Roundup. Carrying on the tradition of past years, members of the Confederate Staff served refreshments to the assembled crowd. The cheer- leaders set the mood for the day as they led the massive assemblage in a rousing pep rally and then marched into the stadium at the head of the procession of shouting and seemingly never-ending numbers of Rebs. Patient southerners wait in line for refreshments before the march to the stands begins at Rebel Roundup. .P Homecoming Dance Sounds of Dixie filtered from the gyms as happy couples danced to the music of George Bailey and the Blue Notes and celebrated the day's victory during the Homecoming dance, Formation. Refreshments were served in the Balcony, where weary Rebs gathered to rest and talk over the events of the day. As the first dance of the year, Homecoming set the pace for the year's coming social activities. The gym begins to take on hues of purple and white as Pep Club, aided by the Key Club boys, decorate for the dance.

Operation migo Kind Luau Mystery and intrigue were the setting for the nights of January 'IO and 12 as Senior Drama presented its second production of the year, Kind Lady. Cecily Morgan, portraying Mary Harries, an elderly woman trapped in her own home by deceiving strangers, brought chills to the spines of the audience as she became her unwelcome guests' helpless victim. Exhibiting ob- vious talent and a great deal of poise, the cast presented one of their most noteworthy and stimulating productions ofthe year. Big Otis, give me a prayer, pleads Cecily Morgan. Spanish-English dictionaries were a common sight throughout the school during the last weeks of November as South played host to five stu- dents from Ecuador. Greeted at the airport by a rousing rally consisting of the South High band and cheering Rebels the Amigos were whisked away into a full two weeks of excitement and adventure. At South the welcome visitors ex- changed ideas with their interested hosts and obesrved classes. Introduced to the entire stu- dent body at an afternoon pep rally, the Amigos later attended an equally 'Fitting farewell as- sembly, given by the Seniors, on their last day at South. The Amigos left South High School, taking with them the mementos presented to them at the Senior assembly and leaving behind new ideas and a greater understanding of South American neighbors. Dr. Anderson bids farewell to the Ecuadorian Amigos.
