D PM True patriotic feelings are -displayed by those students who care enough to write and deliver a speech on the subject of democracy in the National Voice of Democracy Contest. The school winner need not stop at this level, for he may go on to county, state, and national honors. But perhaps the greatest feeling of competition comes on the evening of Une-Act Play Night when the best class play is chosen. Also presented are the Burnies, Glen Burnie's form of the Oscar. They go to the most outstand- ing actor and actress, and to the best supporting actor and A-L, E., , actress. WINNER OF VOICE OF DEMOCRACY CONTEST-4Bill Bussey. WINNING PLAY-Junior's presentation, If Girls Ask Boys For Dates, won favor of judges as they ranked it first place. . ' 3,4 , will A ull!

A new adviser joined the group-Mrs. Elizabeth Rice. The qualifications for entrance into this club were modified in several ways. All girls desiruous of initiation into the organi- zation had to have fifty athletic points or its equivalent. This change will designate to any future inquiries that a member was active in at least one phase of the athletic field. The Girls' Athletic Association, too, witnessed a major change in their organization. That was the creation of a Board of Directors. This board consists of an elected dele- gate from each varsity team and cheerleaders. Before the existence of this board, there were only four ofiicers and the adviser-Miss Mary Jane Davison, forming the Executive Committee. Thus, with this creation, there now exists a committee of ten members to plan, make decisions, and work efficiently together for the betterment of the department.

Madcap a di ras I want to play my harmonica! exclaims Alvin, portrayed by Mr. Wilson. Play- -ug mates are Mr. Lynam, Mr. Haynie, and lMr. Clayton, Big Cheese. The fact that the March of Dimes is a very worthy char- ity to support is well known 'by each of us. To raise funds to contribute to the cause, the faculty of Glen Burnie annually presents a talent show to the students. Each year, a different theme is chosen and around this theme is built a grand and hilarious presentation which gives the teachers a chance to let down their hair. Last year the theme was a circus, and the year before that, a hobo convention. But this year's performance topped all previous ones in splendor. The 1lVIardi Gras represents a time of light-heartedness and gaiety, and even though we viewed it from our own gymnasium, we certainly were de- lighted with the performers and their acts. Belle of the Ball! Mrs. Norman, alias Laura hams it up. 'L' s 1 -' , -,fl 'mls' Mr. Lynam creates a big splash wearing the latest thing in fashion from Paris! We previewed the newest Paris fashions for women mod- eled by several male faculty members. We were entertaind by an imitation of Little Richard and one of his latest rendi- tions. The lovely Laura who has been immortalized in song, impressed the entire audience with her charm and grace, and the presently famous Chipmunks were led in song. ln all of the events taking place in the school year, students are the main participants. We tip our hats to the faculty's one performance. Vocational Technical Center made its entrance. Yr is .. ,Q V 99 Q A second look was needed by all when the dragon of the
