CHEERING TRYOUTS are tedious, but so much fun. Many girls strive for the honors. Practice everyday is a must. Practicing now are Penny Trahan and Marilyn Cavanaugh. HARD WORKERS is a good description of Shelley Meyers and Diane Leonard. The Ebb Tide Staff is a work- ing group, but fun is managed to be had, also. “Windy” Month Brings Joy to All MARCH, the “windy” month, came upon us rather quickly. Reports cards came out after a few days. Cheering tryouts began. Fifty or more girls fought hard and worked to make the “Varsity.” On the third of March, the United Nations’ Examination was given. On the twelfth of March, College Boards were given again. On a later date, National Merits were given. The seniors began long, hard preparations for their last gift to the student body of L.H.S., the Senior Class Dance. This dance, one of their last projects, was to be the grandest, and it was. Anchor and Wheel Clubs worked vigorously, too, to produce Melody Circus in April. “Tiger House,” the Junior Class Play, made its debut to the sophomores on March 31. in the auditorium. March could be labeled as ‘Svork month. Lau- derdale students were “busy as bees,” joining in together in projects of various types. “YOU HAD BETTER ASK THEM EARLY, tells Steve Walhom to Ralph Rickard before asking Nancy Cantor and Sharon McMillan to the Senior Class Dance. 49

Senior Dance, Workday, Junior Play, Headline April EUROPE IS REALLY DIVINE, stales Nancy Spiegal to a sold” customer. Nancy worked at a travel bureau on Senior Workday. It was enjoyable. IS’ 4 c . m Jf i il WORK! WORK! WORK! Seniors don’t come to school, but they do work. Bill Graham is practicing for his job. Variety in the jobs is really amusing. NO—NOT A MURDER on the campus! It's just a rehearsal of the Junior Class Play, “Tiger House. The cast and pro- duction staff, under the skillful direction of Mrs. Elizabeth Freeman, devoted long hours of hard work to produce a success- ful play. Kay Burch and Martha Meyer were the student directors.

Funfilled Month, Year Almost Over APRIL FOOL? No, not really. The only ones who were fools were those who didn’t participate in the month’s activities. To begin things, there was the annual “Pan- American” assembly. That Friday night was the Spanish dance on the patio. Student Council speeches were given and some of the choices were pretty tough to make. All in all the election pleased everyone. This month reminds all of Christ for the Easter Assembly, on the 14th, was attended by serious and respectful students. The seniors then broke out in a roar as they left our campus in a “hurry”!!! “Fun Day,” Sen- ior Skip Day, had now come. The long year finally came to the time that they, too, as others have done, legally “skip” school. The concluding event of the month was the “big time” for the sophomores. They presented to L.H.S. their first dance which was thoroughly en- joyed by all who attended. “IS IT LONG ENOUGH?” wonders Mary Locherie as she tries on a few dresses. She has to look just right for the Sophomore Class Dance. Spring, Melody Circus Give Boost to All Students “I’D MAKE A CUTE ONE, wouldn’t I,” says Lynne Karsten to Nancy Sumwalt. Charleen Emery looks for her costume for Anchor Club and Wheel’s “Melody Circus.” Variety acts of all types were to be performed and the theme “Around the World” led to many ideas and inspirations.
