Roddick Auditorium o ers opportunities oi OPPORTUNITIES for broadening 0ne's knowledge and getting that forgotten bit of home- work done are provided by many convocations held throughout the year. Elisha Reddick Auditor- ium, named for Lawrence Township's first teach- er. was host to the many speakers and entertainers who presented programs for the student body. Through these programs students were given the opportunity to introduce speakers, and were many times speakers themselves. Victims from the audience for many performances enthusias- tically increased audience participation and interest. The beginning of the semester highlighted orientation programs, counseling and class meet- ings. Juniors and seniors assembled during home- room periods to hold class office nominations, and later to hear their presidential acceptance speeches. New faculty members were formally introduced early in the year. Hobby enthusiasts, experts in specialized fields, award-winning entertainers and inspiring speakers brought their talents to Lawrence. The holiday season spotlighted programs presented by the various organizations and choral groups, all adding to the festival spirit. The Journalism Department delivered an unusual sales skit written by the staff. This play utilized many of the staging faculties for Hspace-age effects. The Home Economics Department featured students modeling styles they designed during classes in a finale of the year. During the heat of the national and state elections, spirited seniors debated the campaign issues before the student body. A forum, answer- ing questions, and mock elections were held after student registration for the presidential, guber- natorial and senatorial races. The beautiful interior and the intricate lighting system furnished a combination of aesthetics and utility seldom found in high schools. Each program enriched the lives of the student body and brought the talent of the world to our doors. Combining rare musical talent, audience participation, and his own, warm, personal philosophy, Mr. Charles King presented one of the best received convocations ever at Lawrence. Gun hobbyists and history enthusiasts were especially interested in Ray Sullivarfs noisy convocation on the history ofthe gun. Highlighting the political campaigns across the nation, Nelson Grills, Democratic candidate for State Senator, followed W. W. Hill, Republican, in expressing his views on local issues.

Sox-hops featured local music groups and unin- hibited Mcirclea' dancers in the student center, the most popular gathering place for the weekend. Premiering the semi-formal dances of the year, the Cabaret captured the Mardi Gras spirit with Italian street scenes. Dancing upon white sands couples were enchanted with the European flavor. Top of the Severin was the scene of the elite Senior Dinner Dance. Dining couples enjoyed dinner before dancing above the city until midnight. Cold and silver '65 placards and lavender carnations decor- ated the ballroom as the future graduates gathered for a long awaited evening. At the Shamrock Twist, a blarny stone and lepre- chauns decorated the IU Medical Center as the girls footed the bill for an uevening on the townf, The crowning of a Shamrock King was also a highlight for this popular dance.
