THE CHRISTMAS PAGEANT, given by the seniors and the glee clubs, is an annual program of impressive beauty and appeal. The inspiring and highly entertaining speech by Dr. Herschel Folger opened our series. The faculty “I’ve Got a Secret” pro¬ gram, whose merry pace was set by Bob Poole, delighted the student body. Torch¬ light tappings brought elements of suspense, surprise and gratification. On Social Stand¬ ards Day a talk by Mr. Charles Phillips was a fitting prologue to home room panel dis- I cussions of our honor code. No programs made us prouder of those who planned and performed than the jun- | iors’ Thanksgiving Pageant, based upon | America’s Freedoms, and the seniors’ I Christmas Pageant, rich in tradition and | very moving music. The wrestling and basketball coaches and | their teams took us to the gym one morning | for demonstrations of performances and officiating. Musical programs by a group of | juniors, and by the various music organiza- j tions served to brighten many fall and spring Tuesdays. Awards Day and Class Day climaxed the year’s assembly pro¬ grams, all of which achieved the aim of chief planners, Mrs. Blackburn and Bob Herford, to enlighten as well as entertain. “OPERATION HONOR CODE” is set off by Mr. Charles Phillips. 17

s I I TUDENTS WHO UNSELFISHLY VOLUN¬ TEER for the work groups are vivid examples of school spirit and loyalty in action. Stage crew members become expert in the many intricate processes necessary for a success¬ ful production. Experience gained while producing shows makes crew mem bers equally at home hanging from the bridge to change light bulbs, moving scenery, or supplying sound effects. Among the busiest of Senior’s people are the office assistants. These eighteen girls, who place service to the school above their own personal convenience, work in the of¬ fices during their study period. There they are deluged with names that have to be located in the files for Mrs. Blackburn, Mr. Anderson, or Mrs. Malone. Acting as re¬ ceptionists, making telephone calls, deliver¬ ing messages, and doing general steno¬ graphic chores are just routine matters to these efficient girls. 4 ! fa mi jflUaifr THE BOOKROOM STAFF — Clockwise: Howard Carr, Robert Turner, Mr. L. W. Anderson, Sidney Oliver, Peyton Neal. Another hard-working group is the book room crew. They are responsible for all of the sixteen thousand text books used in Senior’s classes. They really work when teachers flood the book room with requisi¬ tion blanks. After books are issued there is a lull, with only an occasional request for books to be put back on the shelves, or found, dusted off and counted out for use. Final job for the year is finding space once more on the shelves for the shabby volumes. SCHOOL STORE MANAGER, Mr. Stanley Johnson, is shown with assist¬ ants Joan Moring, Carolyn Paschal, Kay Kuykendall. 10
