Danny Doughman John Barringer Tom Burrows Swing Band Completing another year of furnishing fine music for assemblies, Red Cross Shows, and school dances, the members of the Tucson High School Swing Band may look upon a work well done. The band was again under the superb direction of P. E. coach Johnny Barringer. This year's Student Director was pianist Tommy Burrows, who helped rehearse the swing band and led them at all school dances. During the first part of the year the band was kept busy playing for the crowded football and basketball social hour dances. The swing band took on a more serious note, however, at the Senior Prom, December 8. Dressed in tuxedos, the swing band looked and sounded truly profes- sional. As the year progressed, the band continually played alone for music at such dances as the Junior-Senior Prom and the Sophomore Hop. At the Senior Hi-Y Gay Nineties, just to keep in the spirit of things, a four piece combination gave out with some good old Dixieland music. With such standbys as George Snell, trumpet, Hal Richardson, trombone, Joe Mendoza, alto sax, Art Upson, drums, Leroy Arnold, bass, and Tom- my Burrows, piano, graduating allthe end of the year, next yearls swing band will have a job on its hands surpassing this year's band. But crime what may, it is certain that the Tucson High School Swing Band will continue in the same traditfbn of fine music. 178

Spring Green The curtain rose at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 25, on the first play of the year, Spring Green. Cast from the entire school and adroitly direct- ed by Miss Lillian Cavett, the play was a success from the first rise of the curtain to its last fall on Friday evening. The play is a story about young high school people and their problems, but it also contains an element of romance. Nina Cassel, the charming mother of two teen-age girls, was portrayed by Prina Stanley. Jean' Soulvie played the role of Mrs. Rumble, the acid- tongued, soft-hearted cook. Bob Flood took the part of Mr. Putnam, the peppery grandfather who knits for the Red Cross. Tony Cassel, the aver- age young teen-ager, was played by Freda Marie Peters. Mary Lou Briscoe played the part of Pinkie Ames, the fluttery, boy-crazy blond. Dunk Doyle, the leader of the high-school pack, was portrayed by Richard Bishop on Thursday evening. Jim Bridges appeared in the same role on Friday even- ing. Bing Hotchkiss, the buddy of Dunk and boy friend of Pinkie, was played by Carl Lopez. Venice Lindsey presented the role of Genevieve Jones, the neighborhood pest. Major Todd, Nina Cassel's love interest and a misunderstanding father, was played by Jim Bartlett. On Thursday even- ing Reed Abel appeared as T. Newton Todd, whose only aim in life was to breed super earthworms. Brad Tolson was Newton on Friday. Lila Fae Hopper was Eula Hotchkiss, the ugly duckling of the play. The ab- sent-minded professor, Dr. Luther Blodgett, was presented by Philip Pfeif- fer. Herbert Lahr played the part of Officer Ryan, the blustering small town policeman. Billy, victim of Genevieve, was played by Dick Rykken. 180
