A Winter Serenade Christmas trees falling on Highway 805? Hours before the ASB Ball five girls met at Leslie Kirwan's house to transport two Christmas trees to Monte- zuma Hall. The young ladies tied the trees to Leslie's station wagon, but driving down 805 the trees began to slip. Before we knew it, recalled Leslie, the ASB Ball committee chairman, the Highway Patrol was on the scene helping us secure the trees. When the group arrived at Montezuma Hall they discovered that someone forgot to order the white-linen table- cloths. Three hours were spent rounding up some red, plastic ones. To top it all off, cried another committee member, when we went to introduce ourselves to Lightnin', the band that was scheduled to play for the ball, we discovered that they had the wrong room. Lightnin' finally showed up a few minutes later. Despite all the minor problems, the dance was a great success and boasted a larger attendance than in previous years. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Renee Moreno as the ASB Ball Queen with her escort Lester Warner. Her junior attendant was Jenny Able and Mika Stevenson was the sophomore attendant. 118 A.S.B. Ball

To the Millions Who Lost Their Lives... Please, let's do 'Diary' this year! , pleaded Mr. Deustch at an early Drama Club meeting. Despite moans and groans from several club mem- bers, Mr. Deutsch decided to go ahead and produce The Diary of Anne Frank. After four days of hectic tryouts, many characters emerged from the crowd. John Munoa captured the role of Mr. Frank, and Wendy Small was chosen for the part of Anne. After one of the longest practice sessions of any major production ever at Madison, Diary was ready for the stage. I wasn't afraid until the curtain opened, said Jim Johnson who played the part of Peter Van Daan, but after my first line I felt very comfortable. And, all the other actors must have been comfortable too, because Diary was one of the best shows ever produced by Madison's Drama Department. Although we spent many long hours working on 'Diary' , said Wendy Small, the real reward came on closing night when I realized all the friends I had made during the past two months. But, The Diary of Anne Frank meant more than just friendships, for it was dedicated to the millions who lost their lives in concentration camps during World War II. 120 Senior Play
