MEMGRY LING'-ERS ON Long will be remembered the gaiety and glamor, the rhythm and harmony, the song and laughter, the romance and folk feeling which made the stage of our old auditorium a place of pleasure-giving magic on the night of No- vemloer 2l, l952. Then it was that, under the creative direction of Ioseph C. Thompson, our principal, a cast of Englewood students, gave a triumphant performance of the ildouble- header operetta, Meet Arizona and False Fernando. George Wakefield Cadman come posed the music and George Murray Brown 1-:rote the lyrics for the Arizona piece. The Fernando score is by Roy Stoughton, its lioretto the work of David Stevens. Gay scenes from delightful Arizona-Fernando Operetta. l6

DANCES, PAST AND FUTURE Another type of popular activity which the Council helps put over is an occasional dance. The one held last semester was well attended and kept all who participated merrily happy for two and a half hours. A peppy orchestra a vibrant vocalist, and free cokes contributed much to the good cheer which filled the air. The current semester promises to be par- ticularly pleasing to the boys and girls who love to trip the light fantastic. One dance has al- ready been held. Its main purpose was to wel- come the freshmen in a fitting fashion. Another dance is being planned for the near future. And under consideration for shortly after the .S-W, spring vacation is a noon-hour dance. lf this innovation proves successful, it will probably be adopted as an annual event in years to come. FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES All who were there will recall the pleasant touch of familiar theatrical atmosphere which the Student Council added at the Arizona- l:'ernando operetta. The Council did this by selling cokes and candy between the acts. Of course, raising money for this or that purpose in this or that way is nothing new for the Student Council. It sponsors all student drives for funds, STUDENT COUNCIL fGroup ZI Freshman and Sopho- more Delegates Miss O'Reilly Row 1: G. Seals, V. Brown, I. Vinyard, A. Ienkins, I. Allen, V. Var- nado, S.

FESTIVE WELCOME FOR FRESHIES There are dances for various purposes among various peoples. There are rain dances, harvest dances, reconciliation dances, war dances. Some are gay, some weird, some poetic. Some are accompanied by chants, some by shouting, some by prayers. ' On Tuesday, February l7, in our girls' gymnasium, Englewood had a dance ol its own with a purpose. Of course, all our dances have a purpose -- the purpose of promoting happiness, companionship, good cheer and school spirit. But the February l7th l'hop had, in addition to this, a special purpose - that ot festively welcoming the newcomers to our school, the latest crop of freshmen. This was done gloriously with the aid ot popular tunes played stirringly by a peppy dance orchestra.
