Walking the plank in the Frankenstein has a customer. A pitcher trying his luck. House of Horror. Break the balloon and win a prize. The stage show is on. The beginning of Mule Tra THE FIESTA On February 18, 1950 a Fiesta was given by the yearbook staff to earn money to publish the first HiLandor. After careful planning we decided to raffle a subscription of the HiLandor, a Zenith radio and a hand crocheted bedspread made by Mrs. Estand. Chance books were sold weeks in advance so the raflie was sure to be a success. There were several short skits and acts held later in the evening for the enjoyment of anyone who was interested. Side shows, a fortune teller, a house of hor- ror, and many other booths were set up all around the auditorium. The Mexican theme was carried to the re- freshments. The main course was chili with side offerings of hot dogs and coffee. These refresh- ments prepared by the students and their sponsors, were sold during the evening. With hard work by the staff and a very good attendance by the public, everyone felt that the FIESTA had been a great success.

THE LIBRARY The Orland Park High School has taken strides this year to improve their school library. Library assignments are now more easily accessible through the new classification and filing system instituted this year. Also through the generosity and cooperation of the community, many new volumes have been donated to the library. Among these donations are the works by Thackeray and Studying in the study hall. Hugo, a collection of presidential messages and papers donated by Alice Einhorn, a group of his- torical fiction purchased from the Molly Reish memorial fund established by the American Legion Auxiliary, and several individual donations. Our aim is to enlarge our library and place it on a functional basis so that all may find information and enjoyment to suit their needs. M. Collier, A.
