As the lights were turned out on the field, the pep club formed an H with the band and held flashlights while the band played the school song. A trumpet fanfare announced the arrival of the queen and her at- tendants. Preceding the game a snake dance wound its laughing and cheering way through Main Street and ended with a huge bonfire at the city auditorium.

The kneeling marching' choir sang the response to the solos. 12 The Christmas Story Presented in Words and Music The melodious strains of Christmas music were blended into symphonious har- mony as the senior high students presented the annual Christmas pageant. The Christ- mas story was read in front of stained- glass windows from the stage preceding the enactment of the angels appearance to the shegherds. The Nativity scene was highlighte by solos and songs by the mem- bers of the marching choir. The music died away in the distance as the choir marched from the auditorium into the hall singing, Joy to the World , then three angels ap- peared before the Windows as strains of Angels We Have Heard On High were heard from the hall. The pageant, which was presented four times, was open to the public. The large attendance at all performances veri- fied the fact that people enjoy the beauti- ful Christmas story. The pageant was directed by Mrs. Mir- iam Perry, Forrest Davidson, and Glenn Matthews. . qw - i -:spam-r:, . r.

The crowning of a king and queen was the main event of the evening, and curios- ity hit its peak before the final results of the voting were known. Robert Blazer, as- sisted by Candy Tate and Bill Jeter, who served as crownbearers, crowned Linda McDowell and Darrell Slmgson, King and Queen of the Sweetheart all. Sweetheart cookies and bubbling red punch were served from the gaily decora- ted refreshment table.

Phillips, clerk of the board, saw the necessity for a new ad- dition to the high school building. They spent hours of time on planning how to finance the project, approving the architectual plans, educating the public, and answering the questions of laypeople on ways and means in which the money could be raised. On Sep- tember 30, their efforts were rewarded by the passage of the high school bond. This was only the beglnning. The rest of the year was spent in selling the S430,000 in school bonds which was added to the 320,000 in the build- ing fund making a total of S450,000 for the high school building program. Studying and approving blueprints, etting contracts as well as managing the usual routlne job of running a S400,000 business constituted the work of the board of education. C. A. Harkness, who is not an official member of the board, has held the elective office of treasurer for the past 26 years. ,fe dx - ' Building ls Again Necessary Twenty-two years ago Clyde U. Phillips came to Hays High School as su erintendent of schools.

A well-rounded curriculum includes the fine arts. Under the direction of Glen Howerton, craft as well as creative art is available for students. Under the direction of Forrest Davidson, those students inter- ested in music have an opportunity to join either large or small vocal groups. The pep of the sports program is founded in the work of Glenn W. Matthews and his pep band organization. Also included in the music department are the concert band and orchestra directed by Glenn W. Mat- thews and Mrs. Lucille Flickinger. Any student desiring to play an instrument is given the opportunity of private lessons. MRS.

Physical Health ls Necessary Since building a healthful body is of major importance, both boys and girls are required to take physical education through their high school days. Miss Hilma Shuss and Arthur Leas direct these activi- ties in a well-rounded program. Also im- portant to the health program is the work of Mrs. Elizabeth Clemans, the school nurse. In this atomic age the study of science is an educational requirement. Biology, chemistry, and physics are offered under the leadership of Harold Elder. One year CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE Y w fig.

Adequate substitute teachers help to keep the school program running smooth- ly. Mrs. Harold Elder is available and well qualified to fulfill this difficult task. Since education is a process of living as well as a preparation for future living, the school provides for an active social life as well as the traditional classroom activi- ties. The curriculum is so established that it develops the whole student and not a partial efficiency in a particular occupa- tion. Education is a wise investment in children, the building of future citizens. MRS.

Thus the atmosphere for the Junior-Senior prom was create . Fragrant magnolias, rose-covered trellises, and an old southern mansion gave real feeling to the gym where the juniors entertained their guests in a southern garden. Colored servers served the delicious meal of southern fried chicken and the traditional trimmings. Lauren Welch acted as master of ceremonies. Eugene Gross welcomed the guests to Garden Reveries, and Richard Baker responded with An Evening In The Garden. Toasts were given gy Darrell Simpson, Julienne McCartney, and Frederick Ven- itti. The gym was cleared after the banguet and the guests en- 'oyed dancing to the mellow strains of reddy Joe's orchestra. ln one corner of the garden, the Parent Teachers Association served punch to the thirstv dancers from a cabana table. Mid- way in the activities, the High School Dance Band entertained the guests and the Girls' Trio sang Shortnin' Bread.

Helen Hundlcy spent many hours studying and writing their autobiographies. sophomores Write Autobiograplmies The first project in English II, an auto- biography, seemed to stump most of the sophomores. This meant digging up old re- cords of the past for the first chapter on ancestors. The chapter, Pre - school days, brought to light many unheard of incidents. The time he walked down the block and his mother was anxiously looking for him. The time she opened a grocery store but had to eat her own mud cakes. 54 Grade school days were more recent so this chapter flew by. She remembered the time her shoe was hidden by some member in the class. On through high school, friends, re- ligion, hobbies, and future, these auto- biographies grew. Toward the end of school the chapters were bound into a book. Finally the project in English II was completed and so was the school year. M-W.v:.vw mv-fwiwswmg 7 H. Q .

Freshmen Dance At Christmas Formal Guess who kissed me 'neath the mist- letoe? That certain someone I've been keeping my eyes on. Eyelashes were fluttering weeks ahead of time to catch someone's interest to ask for a date to the Christmas formal. Eyes sparkled and cheeks flushed after the freshmen had succeeded in getting dates. Net, satin, velvet, flounces, stoles, eve- ning bags, and evening shoes were being sought by eager ninth grade girls for their 58 first Christmas formal. For the boys there were the problems of getting the family cars for the evening. February brought the Sweetheart Ball and once again the freshmen were excited over the Privilege of attending their second formal o the year. Oh! Yes, the freshmen really enjoyed the opportunity of being able to attend the important dances with the upperclassmen.

The cheerleaders led the yells at all the pep assemblies. These enthusiastic rooters worked hard to perfect their cheering formations. This quintet was important as a part in the Hays High school athletic program. They kept the boys spirits up as well as upheld the tribal name on the gridiron and basketball court. Junior high cheerleaders aided during the basketball season by leading the yells at the junior high and B-squad tilts. The senior high cheerleaders wore gold circular skirts and maroon sweaters, and the junior high cheerleaders dressed in gold sweaters and white skirts and trousers.

The loss was to Great Bend by a score of 19 to 6. Many of the regular first team members were unable to play, thoutgh, for various reasons. The junior Indians won ive other games, how- ever, to complete a very successful season.

Then they continued to demonstrate their depth as they, downed Great Bend, St. Jo- seph's, and ratt before Christmas.
