The interior of our newly completed auditorium gave the student body such a feeling of togetherness and rewarded us with so many performances of talent and interesting and educational presentations. Vocational's auditorium is used on a great many occasions —not only for student-sponsored programs during the school day, hut also for concerts and productions which adults and community organizations present. Below is the set which was used for The Sounds of the Air presentation from the University of Minnesota. The very stimulating program consisted of showing the students just how all the sounds heard on the radio arc made with simple instruments. This was just one of the two or three university programs available to public schools. Early in the 1956-57 school year, the Repertory Players of the University of Minnesota, displayed their antics in the form cf three acts—one a comedy, another a serious drama scene, and a third a western production. All three acts made use of the same set of scenery and the same three players. Here is the comedy, which portrayed the problems of love in a Russian family. Grinning cheerfully, at right. Judy Sloss and Mr. George Grim discuss the Student Council-sponsored program in which Mr. Grim discussed a recently completed lour of Russia.

ADMINISTRATION “Education should not be a destination—but a road we travel all the days of our lives.’ —Ties Perhaps this picture doesn’t seem dignified enough to introduce the opening page of the Administration section, but we like it. It seems to us that Mr. Clarence Booth is operating under an alias: did you know that his real name is “Mr. School Spirit ’? He may not be big and beautiful, but he is kind and earnest and real, and everybody enjoys him. When he says, “Louder!” we give! We get tali ind him because we feel lie is behind us. It is Shorty Booth’s human touch that we prize, for it encourages a “togetherness” that makes a big family of our faculty ami students. At the left, Mr. Booth is encircled by cheerleaders: Velores Olson, Sharon Arndt, Barbara Humphries. Shirley Jensen, and Joan Roddy.
