Pop! Mary Hubbard giggles in embarrassment as a rubber band from her braces shoots across the room. Bruce | Armistead and Beverly Thurston share the moment with the rest of the school library. “My Fair Lady” introduces spring to busy Rebels Heavy coats and goose bumps disap- peared. Spring came and with it spring fever. Term papers, tests and play prac- tice denied Rebels the freedom they would soon enjoy in the summer. The highlight of the juniors’ year oc- curred in April, when the class pre- sented its prom, ''Paris by Night.'' After hours of concerted effort, the decora- tions materialized from rough ideas. Actors reviewed lines, the make-up crew cleared away half-full jars of grease paint, and the prop crew replaced fallen pillows. Meanwhile a full house on the other side of the curtain awaited the Rebels’ production of ''My Fair Lady. The year culminated in graduation. Seniors stood face to face with the fu- ture; juniors adjusted to their new posi- tions of leadership, and sophomores ad- vanced to a higher level of maturity. Releasing one class, DSF prepared to welcome another. Misplaced modifiers on an English test become a joke to Ann Freeman and her boisterous classmates. Tensions relax and Mr. Clay and his lively juniors enjoy the humor of the mistake.
