King Leslie Newman escorts Queen Sondra Broxson down the white-carpeted aisle. Mr. Percy Reeves, principal of McComb High School, places the crown on the head of Queen Sondra Broxson. Valentine Court reigns Like magic, the Youth Center had been transform- ed into a romantic scene of cupids and hearts and soft lights. The occasion was the spring dance, sponsored annually by the Student Council, and held this year on the night of February thirteenth. Highlight of the dance was the presentation of the Valentine Court and the coronation of the reigning couple. At eight o’clock the royal processional started down the white-carpeted cen- ter aisle, and court members took their places before a heart-shaped backdrop. Queen Sondra Broxson receiv- ed her crown from Mr. Percy Reeves, principal of Mc- Comb High School, and she was presented a valentine bouquet by her escort, King Leslie Newman. After the traditional first dance by members of the court, students crowded the floor and danced the eve- ning through to the music of. the “Midnighters.” At twelve o'clock, with the music still ringing in our ears and a memory implanted in our hearts, we reluctantly drifted away from the Youth Center. We had passed another milestone in the Year of the Tiger.

Junior Class presents “One Foot “One Foot in Heaven,” produced by the Jun- ior Class on February 22, revealed good act- ing, staging, and costuming. Directed by Miss Emma Flautt and Mr. Ronald Carruth, the play concerned the activities, dilemmas, and humorous incidents experienced by a minis- ter and his family when they moved to the small city of Laketon, lowa, in the year 1910. Members of the acting group seemed extremely well suited for the parts they play- ed. The old-fashioned costumes and the many comic situations of the play appealed to the large audience which reacted enthusi- astically. Much credit for the success of the production was due to the behind-the-scene workers who spent many hours in arranging stage settings, sound effects, and lightings. in Heaven” Listening in on a telephone conversaticn, the ‘‘battle axes’ Robin Yaun, Emily Wright, Judy Etheridge, Phyllis Alford. are all ears— Cast of “One Foot in Heaven’W—Row 1: Lou Stokes, George Burris.
