Thurber Carnival Directed by Two After six long hard weeks of rehearsing the fall play, FLHS students presented “Thurber Carnival to the community. The play was performed in fifteen scenes and two word dances which gave the play a great deal of variation and a carnival effect. The two directors taking charge of “Thurber Carnival were Mrs. Howe and Mr. Carlson. The combination of the two directors working together was definitely an asset to the perform- ance. An interpretive dance was performed in a serious scene entitled “The Last Flower. “Thurber Carnival” brought the audience from a small town with a hen-pecked husband to an island of intrigue. Much work was involved in the scenery for the play, which included cartoon characters on the curtains. The directors agreed that this was one of the most talented casts ever to perform in a school play at Forest Lake. They also commented that they have great hopes for the future performances in the new senior high school auditorium.

FL Impressed by New High School With a two-day winter holiday to move into the new school, students were able to clear their minds of tests and homework for a short time. However, many willingly came to the new school to help teachers unpack all the rememberances of their old classrooms and rearrange the school in a realistic pattern for teaching. Under the direction of Mr. Carlson, the one-act play centered around a husband and wife theme. Taken from James Thurber’s works, the play included sketches of “The Unicorn in the Gar- den,” “Mr. Preble Gets Rid of His Wife,” and two additional fables. In sub-district compe- tition Tracy Tolzmann received the award for best actor. In district competition at North Branch, the cast placed third. Cultural enrichment came to FLHS with the performance of the Minnesota Symphony Or- chestra in February. Spectators listened to such famous selections as the William Tell Overture and the 1812 Overture. Still another cultural highlight was the well-received Christmas pro- gram given by the Fine Arts Department. ABOVE: The band performs at the Christmas concert under the direction of Rollin Nelson.
