The spring formal was something special this year. It celebrated the decora- tion of the Teen Age Can- teen. This was a long awaited drcam that finally came true. Spring Formal Reepens Teen Age Canteen From rags to riches. This was just how we felt when the city council allotted us the money to fix up the TAC. So much was needed, it was hard to decide what to buy. The big night came at last. The decorations were finished, and our spring formal marked the reopening. You just can't imagine how proud we all were. Of course the TAC was open every afternoon for teen-agers to play ping pong or pool, watch television, eat, or just talk. Mrs. Lowell Langworthy, Mom to us, was always on hand with a smile. Our Halloween carnival was one of the highlights of the year. The Starlightersn provided the music and at twelve o'clock the queen of the ball was crowned. Gerry Culley had been chosen 'KlVliss Hallo- ween by the Junior Class. Other occasions we can't forget are the dances after the football games. The TAC always provided a friendly atmosphere of fun, frolic, and fellowship for the teen-agers of Marietta. TAC officers Bill Davis. treasurer. and Robert Hill, secretary. Ping Pong is one of the TAC's most popular sports. Dewey Bearden watch as president. Prilla Glover. serves Sally Webb, vice and Bruce Cone watch as Don Brooks makes the winning hit. This president. an orange drink. was only one of the games provided for teen-agers by the TAC.

Thespians Present Play in Chapel Curtain. lights. action! Don't those words give you a thrill? Seems like it was just yesterday that we were rehearsing for our Dramatic Club play. VVe gave it in chapel, and I think everyone en- joyed it. It was a comedy called Give Me Time. 'We worked on it for weeks and weeks, but it was well worth the effort, VVhen the Barter players came last March with their production Two Gentlemen Of Verona . we ushered at the matinee and evening performances. One of the things I enjoyed most was the series of radio plays produced during the spring months. These plays- Mr, Popperls Penguins. The Singing Tree. and Dougal's 'Wishufwere especially written for small children. All of our members helped with the production of the senior play by getting costumes. putting on make-up, building scenery, and assisting the cast in learning their parts. Being in Dramatic Club last year taught me a lot. VVe studied a great deal about putting things like make-up on to get the best effect and what kind ol' costumes show up best on the stage. t b 3 Energetic members find their places on the stage. Pat Payne and Elizabeth Groover comfort Ann Hill while Nancy Knight looks a bit disgusted with the whole thing. Katrina Ford. the old woman. is attended by Nancy Candler, Barbara Love is not at all interested and pays no attention to anyone.
