28 Class Day Is the Seniorsi Day Class Day is the Seniors' day,- it is the time when the students recognize the Seniors and the Seniors honor the school. According to tradition, the Seniors planted a tree, this year on the front lawn of the school. The entire stu- dent body, the faculty, and relatives of the seniors gathered around the tree for the ceremony. The class of 1965 attached their ribbon to the shovel already weighted down with different colored streamers and tied on two small saddle shoes. Each girl in turn came forward and placed some earth around the tree while the iunior glee club sang the tra- ditional Tree Planting Song. Then Vicki Emery, the class president, presented the shovel to the incoming class president, Katy Taft. Judy Kramer led the school in the alma mater, ending the ceremonies. The Seniors prepare to plant their Star Magnolia.

Miss Wagner is pleased with the harmony of the glee club. with the Talent Dance requires more than coordination. It also de- mands a sense of rhythm, movement, and imagine- tion. The lower school students use these skills in the folk dances, polkus, and marches which they learn. Upperclossmen concentrate on modern dance. Stu- dents are required to make Up dances using not only familiar steps but also a few original ones. Some of these dances are used in the spring concert What would the Miracle Play, the spring concert, class day, and graduation be without music? The suc- cess of these school traditions is due to the eftorts of the music department. In the lower school, the em- phasis is on sight reading and developing an ear for music. Girls in the upper school who enioy singing may join the Glee Club. One need not try out, as the opportunity to belong is open to all. These two departments are closely allied. Mrs. Wagner provides most of the music for the dance classes. To be a good dancer one must know how to count music and must respond to the tempo of the piece. Each year the music and dance departments join forces to present the spring concert. Due to the combined efforts, the concert is always 0 great suc- cess. 27 Mrs. Wagner accompanies modern dancers.

It is not at all like a regular show in that cull of the garments are hand-made by those girls in sewing classes. The show is presented in such a way that it seems as it one is turning the pages of a fashion magazine and the girls appear to step out of the pictures. These are arranged so as to begin with the simpler clothes and to conclude with the formal dresses. The last two pictures included the girts who were elected to the Shillito's Sewing Board Each Thursday throughout the school year the representatives went to Shillito's and learned various aspects of fashion. Each girl also mode on original outfit which she modeled at a Shillito fashion showaarby Roth, first semester representative, sewed a long nightgown and Rita Lillard, second semester, made an em- broidered dress. The finale shows all of us together.
