ARCHIVES OF THE STATE Scholastic hopefuls for next year are juniors Ifwell Clark, lid Hartsook, and Donald McCann, discussing Qarguing more likelyj important affairs Qprobably pri- vatej over liquid refreshment of the double-chocolate soda variety. . . . This was the big night when Frolics came off. Alia! Hmm. This Lamar Rockette lineup was in the night club scene. Oops! jane seems to be a bit out of step while Nancy pours her soul into the dance and Martha looks back anxiously to see if all her charges are in rhythm .... More frolics. Here's Nancy Penick, Mary Clarke Jarvis, Elizabeth Fruit, and Mar- garet Doak strutting their stufI as Russian girls. I do believe this number had more redheads in it than any other on the program. . . . And orange costumes, too! . . . And more frolics. The ge-orgeous Pictons-Ellen and Alice Qshe of the long hairy and Dorothy Nell Swanson sing and sway to Island tunes while Mary jo Clark beats out that South Sea rhythm on the tom-tom .... Sadie Gwin is selling singing telegrams task Mr. Long- copej or whatever pleases your fancy in the way of valentines, while Betty Anne and Carolyn look at the artistic booth Qtheii handiwork for the junior Classi- cal Leaguej. 0 IU

ARCHIVES OF TI-IE STATE The two outstanding sopho- mores of the year, Hugh Gordon and Billy jo Darden, received the Meta sophomore award with al- most unbelieving smiles. It,s quite true, folks .... In the big execu- tive middle of things fthe ofI'ice, I meanj are Mary Frances Booth and Shirley Swiggum seeing that teachers get those necessary little slips put into their boxes. . . . For one of their soil conservation and beautification projects, the Senate, nee Arrowhead, chose to have some trees planted around the campus. Here,s every last member Cplus Mr. Moyesj grouped around the Hrst tree, watching with bated breath QPJ its first venture into Lamar soil. . . . One of the usual gab sessions in the cafeteria finds Lois Ann giving her attentive pupils a lesson in the coy art, and Margaret Pe- terson, Marynel, and Mary Jane listen attentively. Such a smile, Lois Ann, m'dear. Tsk! Tskl . . . Oli, those frolics. Everybody at school was selling tickets. How could anybody buy one? At any rate, here is a picture of such a rare event. Bill Finnegan is selling Margaret Conrad a Frolics ticket while Jeanette Cliff looks slap- happy with amazement. Some ticket-sellers have all the luck! 90

ARCHIVES OE THE STATE Shorts, sunlight, cokes, and fun, eh what? This, friends, was the Kelda Picnic. Needless to say-a good time was had by all .... If it's not the frolics, it's frolics props in the making. Witness Bar- bara Chapman and Tom Rumph of the art department molding gruesome skeleton masks for the boogey-bear chorus. Ticklish busi- ness my friends .... Having a fine time on an impromptu classical jam session are these members of the Band. From their broad smiles 1'd gather that they are either hav- ing a good time or that some one is blowing the music solid-or sour! . . . Typical after lunch act. Un- hungry, happy students Qamong them, Joe Russell and Sellers Thomasj take a five minute siesta before the bell rings. Some too, too busy people are rushing by wish- ing they could stop and loll-but -pressing business, you know. Say, maybe they aren't so un- hungry after all-those grass stems look pretty well chawed up .... The Girls' Glee Club makes a pretty Erolies closing scene. There they are, dressed in-floating sort of stuff, their mouths open, giving out beautiful but unheard sounds fyou heard it in the show, pre- sumably. Nice, what?J. Gloria Brienza, soprano soloist of the first water, is about to deliver her song of the scene. 110
