Seniors Publicize Their Plays B Advance Sale Something new was tried in the way of ticket selling for the senior play this year. Instead of having faculty members sell them at the door only, at the time of the play, each senior was given a number of tickets to sell in advance of the performance. 'iWanna buy a ticket to the Senior Playf' became a familiar query around school. Something new was tried also, in the choice of a senior play and regarding the scheduled performance. Not one long play, but two short ones were given and on two consecutive days, October 12 and 13. First, there was a matinee for patrons who work on night shifts in the local mills. Then, the next evening, there was a repeat per- formance for those who preferred a night show. The auditorium was filled on each occasion. Tickets for the play cost 50 cents for students and 75 cents for adults. Profits from the plays went in a fund to help finance the forthcoming prom. The Senior plays were directed and staged by a faculty committee consisting of Mrs. Gregory and Miss Burdette, co-chairmen, Mrs. Merle Crocker, Mrs. Richbourg, Mrs. Warr, Mrs. Lyon and Mr. Bice. Committee members divided play duties among themselves and each one had a specific job to do. At recess these seniors are comparing notes on the number of line. They are Linda, Brenda, Jimmy, Alice, Raymond, Judith tickets to the senior play that they have just sold down the lunch Bobby joe, Eugene, Tommy, and Ronnie. They all sold some its 42

,,. Affords Excitement nd Pleasure To Seniors On Friday, October 28, there was great excitement around the school. Students were Huting crepe paper, buying cellophane tape, borrowing scissors, and gather- ing other items needed for decorating. Homecoming, was on every lip, and final preparations for the festivities of the afternoon and the evening were excitedly under- way. Plain autos became glamorous floats, the empty gym became a ballroom, and drab goal posts were trans- formed with the black and gold of Union High, and the gay colors of the opposing team. This was to be a last big fling for senior football players. They had selected their sponsors several weeks before. The senior class had nominated three candidates for homecoming queen, and from these, the student body had chosen a queen whose identity had not yet been disclosed. At 4:00 in the afternoon a parade led by the band proceeded down Main Street. Following were the spon- sors in convertibles, next came a convertible earring the three candidates for queen. Then followed homeroom cars, all decorated, all contesting for 'ifirst placev for originality, beauty, and appropriateness. Evening came. At long last the identity of the queen was to be revealed at the game to be played with Greer. Dramatically, before game time, candidates and sponsors alike were driven in convertibles to a sponsors, platform on the sidelines, and each senior player escorted his sponsor to her seat. From there at half time, to the music of The Sound of Musicf the three candidates were escorted to the football field and the chosen queen was named and crowned. The climax of Homecoming 1960 had been reached. The punch table, attractively and appropriately decorated, is a Wilson, Annette, Ianice, Billy, Gaye, Mickey, Ann, and Bruce popular place at the Homecoming dance. Here Johnny, Ann, wait eagerly for Patty to fill their cups. A gala time followed.
