Skits by classes and clubs ranged from soap operas to McDonald's to bathrooms. First place went to the seniors, whose parody of a soap opera involved every ailment and social scandal possible. Be- tween dramatic moments, conunercials were shown as they must appear to most consumers 1 just plain stupid. They covered Laxatives, Ceritol, and Libby's Q on the label, label, labelj, but the topper came when Senior Class Head Sponsor Mrs. Gary Marlowe ran across the stage from time to time singing Meow, meow, meow at the top of her lungs. Second place went to the Tri- Hi-Y. The girls presented a short play named Frontier Morticianf, The story began as Joe Silver was conspiring to kill Ala Mode, for daughter Pie. Dr. Trigger Mortis came to the rescue, and as the story continued, Arnie R. Square fell in love with and married Pie, and of course, she became Pie R. Square. NHS won third place with a com- bination of Wizard of Oz and Mc- Donald's. Children traveled over the land to get to the Great Big Mac. Over twenty different skits were presented including the great match between the Osmond Brothers and the Jackson Five, dances of the 50's, The Pointer Sisters Q using male choir membersj plus Junior Class skit which everyone would like to forget. The capacity aud- ience enjoyed performances also by Blazettes, Majorettes, and Stage Band. Talent Night '75 netted the junior class a grand total of 81040. Lending helping hands at the TARS Easter Egg Hunt are Cari Anderson and Claire Bailey. March Action U 21

Walker, Miears Take PISD Seats T he month of spring showers and unpredictable weather threw students into a melange of acti- vities. The Althea Garden Club began with an April display tea honoring the Paris Area Garden Clubbers. Dicksie House, Debbie Cornett, Randy Smith, and David Seay were selected to represent the school in the 1975 session of Boys' and Girls' State spon- sored by the Alnerican Legion. School board elections were in the news next with new additions, Mr. James Paul Miears and Mrs. Larry Walker winning the two seats. Band and choir members' main interest centered around the new Steinway Grand piano purchased by the School Board and civic organizations. The piano was delivered on April 3 after Mr. Floyd Weger, band director, had gone to New York to select it. During the Northeast Texas Area Council for Teachers of English Forum, Mrs. Gary Marlowe was selected Outstanding Teacher of English. On April 28, the All- Sports Banquet was held. Mr. Gene Stallings, Dallas Cowboy Coach and a PHS graduate, was the main speaker at the annual event. April closed with a spattering of honors and events. Football, basketball queens were elected, as were student council officers, cheerleaders, and Blazettes. Most Valuable Basketball Player, Marvin Mickens, Fighting Heart Award, Mitch Mallory, were presented at the All-Sports Banquet. FTA had its election of officers for 1975-76, and band majorettes were chosen on the upcoming season. 22 0 April Spatterings V ,-.,..,.,.n-Q Y G. I!!! 'ZIIIY Q nt, ,al ,..-40' it 'Q ll U!
