Troubles multiplied as February 16, 17, and 18 drew near. Practice became the watch- word and Just go through it once more the standard bearer. The dance choruses drilled constantly un- til they mastered their routines. The 13 mem- bers of the orchestra, led by the baton of Mr. Wilbern, labored to devise the necessary effect for several types of musical presenta- tions. While the acts were being prepared, Mr. Diffenbaugh ' s army of painters, carpenters, artists, and electrical technicians transformed the stage from its natural state into a beauti- ful sparkling draped creation with a revolv- ing yearbook surmounting a marble pillar. K Unusual and entertaining specialties fea- turing several skits, a monologue and per- sonality interpretation helped comprise the program. Mrs. Patterson ' s watchful supervi- sion was responsible for the almost profes- sional caliber of their performances. Three girls worked hard to execute a solo tap dance and piano duet. Versatile vocaliz- ing by soloists, a duet, quartet, sextet and choir fulfilled capably that part of the Revue program. Our choir proved its adaptability when it accompanied an operatic number and an artistic ballet. This end was achieved only after several months of reading, inter- preting, practicing and memorizing the music under Mr. Slater ' s able direction. With the first round of applause, we all heaved a sigh of relief, for we knew that the show, representing a portion of talent and ability present in the halls of our school, was wholeheartedly accepted. The bigger and better than ever Modulus Revue of 1954 had attained the pinnacle of sv.ccess. Mr. Wilbern Directing the orchestra was only one of Mr. Leslie Wilbern ' s tasks as co-ordinator of the Revue. He also arranged for attractive backdrops, provided suitable props, selected audience appealing acts, encouraged dancers and heeded anxious actors. He assumed the major responsibilities of the overall success of this an- nual show. We all express our appreciation to Mr. Wilbern for helping to make this year ' s Modulus Re- vue one of the finest in the history of our school. 25
