5 I 'PBM . ' ,5 6552 B55 -B 9-Blu 'gs Showers spawn The spring months were showered by many routine and unroutine events. It came well announced, just in time for the bored, frozen students and teachers. The boring winter months spawned the bad case of spring fever. Talent night, which was usually held in March, did not appear due to the lack of interest of stu- dents and clubs. The organi- zation of the senior class play was slow to start and because of the many seniors participating in the produc- tion of Annie Get Your Gun, the casting of parts was hard for Mrs. V. E. Stew- art, class sponsor. Fortunately, spring wasn't all apathetic. Cheerleader, flag corps, majorette, blaz- ette, and rifle corps try-outs all ran smoothly. The big interest in spring sportsg track, golf, baseball, and tennis, gave many students a chance to participate in school activities. Paris Jaycees sponsored the Special Olympics in May spring fever with the help of TARS. The meet was here for the first time in a long while. It was an advantage over having to travel all the way to Mt. Pleasant. A few of the chil- dren went to state in Hous- ton. The annual Spring Con- certs were exceptional per- formances. The Close Encounters theme brought students as well as parents to the band's concert. The choir's concert also offered a new theme as they sang out with the sounds of spring. Fixing yearbooks for their debut, Jay Garza and Jina Diggs have to hurry and finish before the presen- tation. Many students find time out to fly kites during the windy days of March. Kite flying was a popular event on empty fields or meadows ofthe the area. The concert band performs in the auditorium with their Close Encounters special. That perform- ance earned them a unanimous standing ovation, Passers-by pay no attention to the man who came and checked the sewage lines. People found the time to stop and make fun of him while he worked those 3 days. At the special Olympics held at Noyes Stadium, Karen Methven helps one of the many contestants.
