Photographic records of some activities of 1955 remind us of events which have so recently occurred. The annual follies brought parents and friends to hear us in our song and dance review. Our vocal and instrumental music de- partments focused their attention toward their spring concerts. Practicing during most of March and April, they presented their pro- grams of light music in May. Balmy days gave us out first slight attacks of spring fever. Because we had so much work to do, we could not give in to this beckoning laxness. Wind and wzziznz Vocational agriculture boys turned their atten- tion to spring planting. Machinery, repaired during the long winter, was ready to turn the earth. Spring vacation coincided with Easter. We were dismissed from March 29 through April 7 - and what a welcome breather this seemed then. In gym, we turned to the new athletic field. Softball, baseball, archery, and track consumed the time of the athletically bent. The athletic field was the focus of our attention as it seethed with activity each clear day. Sophomores dominate the Sail On in its diary of the months of March and April.

Czwrmiznz Up on Follies Weeks in advance of the March 16 and 17 dates, scriptwriters began the job of organiz- ing ideas for the Follies. ln previous years, the juniors held the reins for the big variety show. This year, talent and ability from all grades were directed to an all-school review. Spending long afternoons, the follies com- mittees sifted numbers and rehearsed. Hour on end sped by as the pianos and recordings issued from rehearsal rooms. Polishing each act for public showing entailed many many hours, many days of many students and teachers. Far into the night, students, parents, and teachers spent hours in planning and sewing costumes, in securing necessary props, and in assembly sets and painting backdrops. Crowds swarmed into the gymg laughter and applause ushered forth-the Follies was a success.
