An all high school cast of nine and a technical staff of seven produced a theatrical success as each character handled his part with care and ease to thrill the audience with the true to life drama. The technical staff of the lone play this year were very deserving of praise for their efficiency and helpfulness. The staff is made up of the promptersf production staff, and the makeup artists. Credit should also be given to Miss Marie Bies, the director. Usually, though their jobs are difficult their names are not as publicly known as the play cast.

A. A. The Girls' Athletic Association has been more active this year because of the fact that the girls realize that they must be fit, physically and mentally, for their future responsibility. Another incentive for the girls is the fact that an individual had to have 100 points in order to appear in the above picture. Also, an award system has been adopted. This system allows the girls to receive certain awards in the form of letters if they have earned enough points. - The meetings, under the supervision of Miss Marie Bruening, were held in the gym in the afternoons. Organized sports that were played were basketball, softball, volleyball for which the girls received four points an hour. Three points an hour were earned for the unorganized sports such as hiking, tennis, bicycling. The girls participated in two tournaments--basketball and volleyball. 'Dem Gremlins won the basketball tournament and the sophomore team won the volleyball. These teams are pictured below.
