Joe Kendall looked pleased as KXLE got a bit of feminine charm while Q. Jordan, L. Cunningham, and M. Johnson practiced announcing. YOUR SPEECH AND MINE Miss Ruth Argall Miss Argall was a prominent figure in our speech department, teaching radio, composition, and speech. She instructed the newly required sophomore speech classes and the radio class, and also assisted the graduation speakers. Many speech majors sought the advice of Miss Argall throughout the year. She was always ready to give good substantial suggestions to help her students. Active in P.T.A. and faculty affairs she was a credit to E.H.S. THE ART OF PUBLIC SPEAKING VOICE OF AMERICA I will not marry you Philip. Such shocking words! They were heard as the Radio Production Class got underway. With Miss Argall instructing, the class busied themselves for their first program. From the first on the air sign to the last cut cue in May, the programs were outstanding. Such wonderful scripts as The Snow Goose , One Thousand Dol- lars for a Wife, and The Devil and Daniel Web- ster, were produced. The trend was not only dramat- ical, but many musicals and co-operative programs such as safety were also produced. The programs were heard every Thursday night over KXLE. Radio production class practiced fundamentals throughout the year, striving for perfection.

MAKE WAY FOR THE Ah-caught in t-he act-working Editor D. Fer uson and Business Manager Smith looked over annual copy, while Howard Kaynor of the Daily Record offered advice. ELEMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY Merle Kibbe Mr. Kibbe, as usual was busy. There were his industrial arts classes and the Klahiam. Also the photograph-y class and very productive Cam Club were under his supervision. He took for granted that any emergency work was his to do whether it was nailing on a broken heal, fixing a zipper, repair- ing athletic equipment, or fixing a chair. His sense of humor scared the sophomore staff members stiff with April Fool report cards. First time in twenty years of teaching that report cards came out on April firstf' BRAVE DEADLlNE AT DAWN The Klahiam Staff was in a state of complete confusion all year long. Donna Ferguson, editor, had ulcers before the Klahiam ever got to the printers. Terry Camden, photography editor, had streaks of grey among her golden locks. Norine Smith, busi- ness manager, had a crop of corns after running after every businessman in town trying to sell ads or running after her staff to make them do it. The photography staff, the editorial staff, and Mr. Kibbe, the advisor, were working nights to meet all dead- lines. The dummy was a shattered personality. When it wasn't lost it was divided among a dozen people. Someone using the only typewriter caused a waiting line. Some anonymous monster was always hiding pictures which were supposed to be used. A Klahiam photographer was flying out the door with a camera in one hand and a supply of flashbulbs in the other. Receipt books were lying all over with discarded write ups and empty rubber cement bottles. There was a constant flow of traffic going up and down the stairs that led to the dark room. Mr. Kibbe's room looked as if a hurricane had struck. But this happens every year and the Klahiam came out on june 5th as promised, but the staff was prepared to leave town in case it didn't. Edwards explained to R. Pickup, J. Brown, M. Jurgens, Photog- As J. Schuller read a humorous writeup the rest of the editorial raphy Editor T. Camden, F. Billeter, Mr. Kibbe, L.

This AND THEY SHALL HAVE MUSIC OF MEN AND MUSIC For the first time in many years the day of the music festival was without the traditional wind. The sun- shine must have entered into the voices of soloists and ensembles because ratings were high. Receiving l's were three ensembles, The Sophomore Sextet, The Boys' Quartet, and The Senior Trio. Also receiving superior ratings were Barbara Harker, Twylla Gibb, Bob Edwards, Coralee McCracken, Elsie Ritter and Angela Welborn. Reaching the 2 rating were soloists Necia Tozer, Kay Short, Herb Kramlich, Sonya john- son, and Laverne Kelly. Receiving a 3 was Josee jordan. The band had a showing of 5 students enter- ed as soloists. Receiving a 1 was june Snodgrass. Virginia Mordhorst Qflutej, Ralph Sires Qclarinetj, Scott Mann ftrumpetj, and Adam Antonopoulos fpianoj, all achieved 2 ratings. The Trumpet Trio and the Clarinet Quartet were also given 2's. GETTING RESULTS WITH SCHOOL BANDS jack Snodgrass The music department received an addition with Mr. Snodgrass, the new band instructor. His ability was proved in the band's performances. He had the band ready to play for the first football game. He brought jazz and comedy marching to our school. He co-operated with yell leaders, song leaders, and the pep club marching unit. Mr. Snodgrass' philosophy of not playing at one pep assembly made the students realize that a musical background seemed indispens- able. Mr. Snodgrass was usually in the music chapel teaching some band, orchestra, or private lessons. J. Barbier, P. Fleming, and R. Mordhorst enterta'ned the typical empty front row basked by a large amount of P.T.A. members. MUSIC . . . IT'S A PLEASURE Edward Camealy In Morgan junior High auditorium the good ol' E.H.S. chorus jazzed that ever lovin' Rock a My Soul! Mr. Camealy's directing was confused at times by the janitors sawing, the stage crew putting up properties, and the cheer leaders and song leaders practicing. The auditorium was as busy as Lincoln Highway. In spite of annoyances Mr. Camealy always managed to bring the chorus through with flying colors. Besides chorus, Mr. Camealy instructed many fine ensembles and vocal soloists. His was the melodious voice of the biggest class room, the auditorium. A th t ' al chorus day as IVIr Camealy told the seconds to Mr. Snodgrass beat out the rhythm of the cIarinet's part for no er yplc - , J. Snodgrass and R.
