Excitement Excitement and fun rises in the very busy school schedule as many activities come and go. These not only entertain but educate the students in many fields such as Music, Drama, and Formal dances. A new style of drama came to Syracuse High School this year as the first all-school play Our Town was presented to the community using benches, tables, chairs, and ladders as the only form of props and scenery was excluded. Appearing in the early spring was another all-school play the classical comedy Arsenic and Old Lace. Requiring a more formal atmosphere over the Syracuse School was the annual dances. At the start of the year the Sophomores dance, the Homecoming dance, the Christmas Ball, the FFA Sweetheart dance and the May dance. One of the more impor- tant dances of the year was the Jr.-Sr. Prom this year Evening in Paris. The student who contributes wholeheartedly to these activities improves himself and his school. He is shown appreciation from the school body for his leadership in these sports and activities by Hon- ors Night which puts a final closing on a good year.
