I crown you, Manarda Payne, Queen of the May. After many hours of practice - perfection. 0 Ann Murphy and Sonny Bumside will hold this pose forever. 24 fair maidens MAY FESTIVAL On May 6, 1965, the traditional May Festival began with twenty-four junior girls, dressed in flowing white formals, forming a floral arch for the entry of May Queen Manarda Payne and her court. The Shelby Dance Band provided the music for dances by the majorettes, dressed as Indian maidens, and the chorus line in large, white cowboy hats. These dances set the mood for the western theme of the festival based on the hit Broadway musical, Oklahoma. The 1965 festival was a story about Laurie and Curly, portrayed by Ienni Sleeth and Jack Hignite. To the choir's lively june Is Bustin' Out All Overi' and Oh What a Beautiful Morning, the young couple met and fell in love. Then the Singing Star's Sin'rey With the Fringe on the Topv carried them on a short trip through Okla- homa's golden fields. They were married during You'll Never Walk Alone and honeymooned in New Orleans, O-Klahomal where they met the mighty Mississippi in the Clee Club's Old Man River. Finally the newly-weds were welcomed home by the band and choir's combined grand finale of Oklahoma The festival came to a close as the arch dancers resumed their formation for the Queen and her court to leave the floor. Through much hard work of the music and girls' physical education departments, another May Festival became history.

it l People Four walls and a roof make a building. Adding desks, maps, and textbooks, you have a school building. But not until PEOPLE -- the students, the faculty, the admin- istration - arrive does the building become a school. Now the building has life, now it has purpose. We listen, we learn together. We plan, we work together. We talk together. We laugh together. We cry together. We eat together. Years from now when we retum to SHS, we may recognize only the building. School life will have changed ent from any previous or future year. We may forget the greatly, for the people will have changed. The people names, dates and places that we leamed, but we shall have made this year -4 our Route 66 - distinctly differ- never forget the people. 12
