Everybody en- ioyed his comic mimicry of styles in popular music and his quick but sincere change into ,X k if fu ,X i. the sensitive playing of classical music. Page Sixty Eight Terry Golden, glamorous in his hirsuteness, sang his way through a program of ballads and many, many graciously granted encores. The show involved audience participation in several songs and a group of eight did a fine square dance. Popular entertainment is marionettes and more marionettes. The McCrea Marionettes in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow were remarkably presented at a full house assembly. The marionettes were one-third lite size and hand carved from wood. Two puppeteers handled all thirteen characters and all of the voices as well. This page sponsored by THE LAWRENCEBURG PRESS AND SUNSET INN

Stepping Majorettes -- Bring On The Band When spectators go to Harrison High foot- ball games they just naturally expect to see the Harrison High Band and a fine half-time program whether at home or away. The Band, under the direction of lvlr. Lazlo Rusza had rehearsal two days a week. During football season, two periods a day and the rest of the year, one period. The band put on their regular pregame and half-time shows and this year they tried some- thing new, using fireworks in the halt-time pro- grams. Ot the many ground displays the ones liked best were the football and the letters spelling out CHAMPS. Football games are not the only time the band makes appearance. They march at at- fairs throughout the community, such as the Hallowe'en parade, election day, and Me- morial Day parade. At Christmas time they went around town playing Christmas carols and gave a program of Christmas carols for the student body. Yea team, fight, fight, tight. Those are the crys ot our fine squad of cheerleaders. Part of the success of our teams at H. H. S. this year was due' to the fine iob the cheerleaders did in leading the students in cheers. When the boys heard their cheers they knew that they had the whole school behind them and just naturally played a better game. One of the first things that takes place with the opening of school is the election of cheerleaders. Varsity cheerleaders this year were: Grace Hacker, Norma Miller, and Sue Frazer. Re- serves were: Jane Schaich, Delores Hudson, and Ruth Grubbs. The sponsor for the girls was Mrs. Klingen- smith who worked very hard with them and introduced new ideas. Cheerleaders G. Hacker, N. Miller, S. Frazer, J. Schaich, D. Hudson, R. Grubbs. This page sponsored by WILLIAM FAGALY 8- SONS AND KLAUSING MOTOR CO. Page Sixty Seven

Whether Homemade Or Packaged. 34 Magician Roy Mayer presented a very mystifying show of prestidigitation as he held the audience spellbound while making things disappear and reappear. His nimble fingers presented battling eftects in magic, mystery, and illusion. In a Driver's Safety Assembly the women proved themselves to be better drivers than men. A movie was shown illustrating seven types of drivers and the results of their actions on the road. Then the entire student body went outside for a safety demonstration on braking. The women competed against the men and won, of course. The Honor Society presented an assembly featuring a spelling bee with twelve students participating. This proved to be quite an inter- esting experiment and the audience was re- markably receptive. The winner was presented with a key to correct spelling and a pin in- scribed with, Spelling Bee, l955. This page sponsored by LEROY SABATELLI AND HARRISON TRANSFER CO. Page Sixty Nine
