SHE-DEVILS perform at Homecoming variety show. Homecoming l958 Marked 'Successful' year's Queen rode in a snazzy little foreign iob and looked much more confident and capable of controlling the situation lsuch as iumping out if the car coughedj. After all the confusion was over and teachers became accustomed to the new gray hairs Home- coming gave them, everyone settled down and hit the books. With a few wilted corsages and o torn football game program to remind us of the i958 Homecoming, another round of fall events slipped by. THE LOVELASSES mix with students and alums at dance.

'Have Pioneer, Will Score' Rated Best Float ballet dance, it can well be said that there was a goodly amount of variety. Other firsts this year were a first place float entered by Miss Alexander's history classes, a spring theme for the Homecoming dance, and a court of six young men and six young ladies instead of the usual three and three. Another change this year was the Queen's car. Where the Queen usually rides in an American monster- size auto and looks lost in the confusion, this THE AUDlENCE enioys refreshments after the variety show. THE PIONEER rocket was the subiect of this float in the Homecoming parade. 7

Junior Actors Present 'Stardust' The play's the thing, said Shakespeare. Those members of the Junior Class who were cast in Stardust might have taken issue with Mr. S. over that statement. From the very first rehearsal, the production ofthis play promised to be unusual. The rehearsal was scheduled for 7 p.m. in the speech room. That was fine--except that there was also a debate meeting then in the speech room. Since the cast couldn't get in, they did push-ups in the hall until Mrs. Goehe arrived. The three weeks of rehearsal which followed will be remembered by the cast long after the play itself is forgotten. Jim Wilson knocked down ladders, Jim Ensign, thinking his face was dirty, washed it with a shot-glass of water. Tom Doman unnerved everyone by his continual ad libbing. fHe says, I really didn't ad lib--l iust changed the lines a little. j Others missed cues, Karen Spafford and Ellen Remsburg never quite got the right timing when Ellen threw a pack of cigarettes to Karen, Carol Rhodus mis- pronounced modulate right up to--and includ- ing--the night of the play, and no one seemed able to memorize lines. The play was a success in spite of all this, however, and everyone agreed that Stardust was an unusual and imaginative production.
