Editor Susan Stephenson with advisors, Mr. Browne and Miss Freeman, held numerous conferences with the major staff members to make plans and decisions. Wfith originality as the keynote, staff members decided on numerous innovations. Choosing a letterpress book instead of offset was a major decision. An aid for the photographers was the well-organized system devised for planning, scheduling and taking pictures. Section editors worked with new type for copy and captions, and planned layouts with set margins. School activities were covered in two sections, Organizations and Clubs. Another addition was the Student Life section that in- cluded Honors and Awards. By placing a booth at the P. T. A. barbecue, Business Manager jo Ann Elliot was able to sell sponsorships and ads. For the tenth anni- versary edition of the Mzzrmzzg, the staff chose the theme A Decade of Progress. Section editors: Clubs Editor Diane Crockett, Features Editor Mary Van W'agner, and Organizations Editor Pat Cox. E' 3 , 4 o 4 ,at v5,,K

Louis. l . Cllarnley to Meet Me in St. Louis, a musical comedy about family life in the good old days was the chief production of the Limelighters. Energetic club members worked es- pecially hard to stage this play which was the second musical comedy to be presented by the dramatics club. In October after the club members had selected the play, open try-outs were held to cast the various roles. President Joey Sherrill, Vice President Happie Peralta, Secretary Sis Smith, and Treasurer Peaches Payne were in charge of auditions. Rehearsals directed by Advisor Miss Mclnnes and joey Sherrill lasted long into the night as the cast worked on blocking and cues. For the first two weeks the cast practiced in the drama room, Stage 11, but props and scenery had to be moved to the cafeteria for dress rehearsals. Choreography was planned by Sis Smith and jan Dulin, pianist, provided music for the chorus. Yorky Johnston and Harriet Bigham were the costume directors. A special committee was appointed to provide authentic furniture and paint backdrops for the various scenes. Programs were printed with a special Wl1o's Who', section about the actors. Opening night found a slightly nervous cast but a de- lighted audience as the curtain fell on Meet Me in St. Louis. This musical should be the forerunner of similar productions.
