it FIU, flQ.f T ' 1 X l F AQ, -Q, MARCH March blew in with a wind-up of basketball tournaments. Our regional tournament, which was played here this year, lasted four days with many high schools competing for the regional championship. Following this the top winners went to the state tournament at Madi- son to try their luck. After a period of concentrated preparation, three forensic contests, declam, oratory, and extemporaneous reading and speaking were held and winners were announced. Russ Hoogerhyde, the greatest archer in America, exhibited his skills in archery and gave the historic and dramatic Romance of Archery. For many this was the second time he had appeared before them in a school assembly. Six times national champion, he shot arrows over our heads in long, upside down, and backhand shots, which was exciting to the sophomores but was still thrilling even to those who had seen him before. This year the Music Festival was divided up with the soloists competing at Antigo this month and the groups, in May. The soloists didn't know whether they would receive medals or not Con account of the metal shortageb but the spirit of the soloists was still present. APRIL With the hint of spring in the air April brought that little germ, spring fever, which made us restless and dreamy. April 1, or April Fools' Day, passed with its little tricks played on both teachers and students. Although some of us wouldn't admit it, we did get Easter baskets filled with chocolate eggs and rabbits or boxes of candy. A school for drama with Edward Rees and Julie Gregory presented a skit as it would be broadcast over a radio showing a fascinating and authentic demonstra- tion of the use of sound effects. The sophomores, after attending and dancing at all the other school parties of the year, designed and planned their party, the last one Cnot counting the Promb of the year. Miss Young's play cast was chosen and play practice began for the senior play to be presented in May. Rehearsals were also started in orchestra and music groups who were to perform at Commencement events. In preparation for the festival in May, the band, orchestra, and vocalists practiced steadily with even extra rehearsals. The band presented the First public audition of festival contest pieces at their last concert of the year. ft? X 4 1 al aa Page 24 GSX ...EZLM 2617 MAY The last month finally arrived. It no sooner came than the band, or- chestra, and vocal classes packed their equipment and set off for the long awaited Music Festival at Antigo. A good time was had by all, not only because of the many high honors won, but because of the renewing of old acquaintances and making of new friends. Another long awaited event came at last, the Prom. Those much talked about formals and daring hair- dos were at last displayed, and a pretty sight it was. No matter how nice other parties were, there were none that could compete with the Prom and its festive atmosphere. The rest of the month was dedicated to numerous senior activities. The juniors were just beginning to realize the place they would hold and the seniors, the one they were to lose. The senior class play, Lease on Liberty , was a success. Then came the Senior Banquet and on the next day the Class Day Exer- cises. Mingled in with the bits of nonsense and serious parts of the pro ram was an air of sadness. As a climax to this day the long awaited HOEAG was issued. It was accompanied with the eager turning of pages, the usual squeals of delight or surprise, and the mad scramble to et all the names possible signed in each book. Then came Baccalaureate and Commencement. The former seniors set their shoulders to face a new life and the other classes put away all thoughts of school until the next school term would begin.
