Included in the cast were Ginny Childrey, Wendy; Anne Askew, John; Barbara Sweeney, Michael; Barbara Post, Nana; Betty Garner, Mrs, Darling;Rodney Smith, Mr. Darling; Joe Bobb, Smee; and Linda Broyles, Tiger Lily. Christmas holidays came as a welcome interlude in academic life. When the holiday season was over, however, the excitement of basketball caught Rebels up in a whirl of games and pep rallies. During long hours after classes, the front hall echoed with the shouts of spirited varsity cheerers as they practiced for the approaching Cheer Rally. Entering a cheer and an original song, the girls won the gleaming bronze first prize trophy. As the end of January arrived, gay students gradu- ally became quieter and more serious. Teachers began their mid-year reviews to recall to student’s minds work done in September. Then the first day of exams, for so long a nebulous concern, became a reality.
