Sound of Music and I. . Sound of Music Maria the Von Trapp children. This year the students of Drexel High School have done it again. After two years rest from the King and I show, the young people were raring to go. We were lucky enough to acquire the Drexel Community Center for our presentation of The Sound of Music. This is the story of Maria, the young girl who was in prep¬ aration of becoming a nun, but was swept from her feet by the Von Trapp family. She met the Von Trapp family as a governess because she had been put on a type of probation from the con¬ vent. (Mother Abbess felt that Maria needed to search for the purpose of life.) It is a captivating story and the young people enhanced the parts to their fullest. This show, as did the King and L proved that youth can do anything. Beautiful costumes came alive with the glitter of this era of Austrian history. These wardrobes were enchanting for everyone to behold. Director and chief consultant of the show was Mrs. Donald J. McCall. Mrs. McCall is instructor of the advanced English classes at Drexel. Music for the play was supplied through the hard work of Miss Kathryn Siphers, band director at DHS. There was orchestration throughout the performances supplied by our own young scholars from Drexel. This production could have never been presented had it not been for the cooperation of students, teachers, and many citizens throughout the Drexel area. Now we can only covet the memory of this production and look forward to what the next play will be. i Directors in conference. Students take a breather from “The Music.” 13

Juniors and Seniors Share in Spring Activities Spring Events Spring put juniors and seniors directly into the center of the action with Beta Club initiation and the Jr .-Sr. Prom. Beta Club tapping and initiation in early spring honored stu¬ dents with outstanding scholastic ability. Those who met the Beta Club’s standards of character and achievement were tapped into the club at the annual service. Jr.-Sr. Prom was the junior class’s main project for the year. Record breaking magazine sales financed this year’s prom honor¬ ing our graduating seniors. Juniors worked hard and their efforts were well appreciated. The special bond between the juniors and seniors was particu¬ larly felt at graduation as juniors fully realized their new responsi¬ bilities and seniors looked toward the future.
