of red-letter days Probably our most satisfying entertainment was “homemade.” Many potential actors and actresses proved themselves in the fine plays presented this past school year—the Junior and Senior Class plays, Boy Wanted and Arsenic and Old lMce} and the speech plays, Death Takes a Holiday and Molly Morgan. The chorus presented a program of seasonal music at Christmas time, and both the band and the chorus presented a Spring Concert. The band and the Pep Band provided music for games and for pep sessions. Special assemblies, such as the one honoring Bob Brown, were conducted by students. Variety shows were presented by the Freshman and Sophomore Classes. Although the entertainment provided by these students did not always have the finish of the professional programs, the student vote indicated that they were enjoyed the most. Student Body President John Paul Davis ably presided at all school assemblies, lyceum programs, and pep sessions. During the Christmas season, the Vocal Music Department presented a special program. Holding flickering candles and softly singing a carol, the Madrigal singers entered the darkened auditorium. Shown are J. McHaney, J. Martin, B. Martin, C. Jent, and J. Delop. As our Homecoming Queen, her court, and 1450 spectators watched in silence, Joe David McHaney performed, to the music of the band, a breath-taking orbital twirl with his flaming baton. 9

Much time in English classes is devoted to writing. In these written themes, the principles learned from the textbook are practiced. Mr. Darby, holding D. Howe s theme folder, points out an obvious error.
