Carol Hayes Stars as KIND Morning coats, gunny sacks, a painting of Whistle1f's Mother, and a statue of a Ming horse were just a few of the items that the production crew of the fall play, Kind Lady, searched mad- ly for throughout the school and homes. Not one place was overlooked, and after a con- certed search everything needed was found, even Whistle1f's Mother-, With the setting of the play in the living room of a well-to-do London woman, an elaborate set was needed. Expensive furniture, therefore, was borrowed from the Jones Store Company, and shifts of two people, changing every hour, guarded the furniture while it stood in the auditorium before the play. The majority of the costumes were gathered from friends, family, and teachers. Some, however, such as the morning coats, were rented from the Kansas City Costume Company. A way was needed to support the flats used to form the walls of the room. Miss Greenwood, director, Pam Reynolds, student director, and Dale Fears, stage crew manager, visited feed companies to get gunny sacks to fill with sand for holding down flats. Other errands were made to buy paint and rent pictures. Everyone's hard work was rewarded when the curtain fell on closing night, December 7, after a magnificent performance. Phyllis Glenning, played by Connie Crow, reprimands her American finace, P eter Santard, played by Rick Stevenson.

Excitement ran high at the 1963-'64 Basket- ball Homecoming game where the Blue Jays played host to the Jefferson City Jays. Typical of the evening was the game which went into three over- times before the Blue Jays were edged by Jefferson City. During the half time ceremonies, Pam Peters was crowned queen and flanked by her three princesses Pat Dolan, Carol Staponski, and Elizabeth Wilson. She took her throne to reign over the game and the dance which followed in the student lounge. Decorated in a world of valentines, the room was transformed into a wonderland of Valentasia. Music was provided by the Sensations, The Rayflector staff sponsored the now annual Women-Pay-All-Dance, commonly called the W,P.A, dance. Setinadance hall in the prehistoric town of Bedrock, the dance was held in the student lounge in mid January. The four senior boys who were chosen as candidates by the Rayflector staff were Mike lVlcComas, Ulku Tinel, Wayne Mullins, and Larry Moorman. After the four boys were led into the room by girls from the staff, Ulku Tinel, foreign exchange student, was crowned king. He was presented with a crown of dog bones and leopard skin. Candidates and their escorts were clad in authentic caveman costumes made of prehistoric gunny sacks.
