I A triumph for the vocal department was the musical, Accent on Swing. .Miss Popoil and the entire Glee Club worked tirelessly during Glee Club praciice and at special rehearsals to make the swing show something to be proud of. ' N Finally came the big night and the cast were all in their proper costumes and places waiting for the show to begin. The curtain rose on the Darkey Scene which, like all the other scenes. was appropriately costumed. The second scene was the Cowboy Scene. For the last two scenes-the Moonlight Scene and the Finale , the girls added glamour by donning formals. In addition to the choruses there were a number of solos by both boys and girls. , Everyone that saw it will agree that Accent on Swing was the musical show ol the year. Page Twenty-eight

Three years ago a group of dramatic enthusists organized a club called the Ham Actors. This Year the name was carried on by f0l'fY'eiQht actors and actresses of V. H. S. under the capable direc- tion of Mrs. McAtee. Florence Campbell served the club as president and was ably assisted by Iris Davis as viCe-preS- ident and Evelyn Liebsch as secretary-treasurer. At first the Ham Actors had a little trouble with the man-power shortage, but finally enough boys came out to make up an all-boy cast in Tell It To Tommy. In November an all-school play. Days Without Daddy. was presented. This was a sparkling comedy based on the troubles of a family whose father has gone to war. ln Ianuary a group of three one-acts were given, including ln a Bookshop, l Pledge Alleg- iance, and Tell It To Tommy. The last oi the three was entered in the Iowa High School Speech contest. The Ham Actors also presented the Christmas play which was entitled How the Great Guest Came. Nancy Hartman, Mary Tobin. and Bill Esderts were selected from a preliminary contest to enter the Iowa High School Speech contest in interpretive reading. Page Twenty-seven

At the beginning of the basketball season about fifty prospective V. H. S. athletes turned out lor intramural basketball. Their supervisor. Mr. Pye, was on hand to give the boys a tew pointers on the game. The boys got together one noon and chose eight captains to pick the teams. A schedule was worked out by means ot which each team was allowed to play each and every other team. These games were played on the average of twice a week. The winner oi these rousing games was Bob Hanneman's team. which did not lose any of its eight games. Lloyd Horak's team was runner-up, losing only one game. Since the basketball tournaments were held in Vinton. the intramurals were unable to hold another complete round of games. The intramural games not only give the players a chance to enjoy themselves but also in- creases their interest in sports. Many of this year's intramural players will compete tor a posi- tion on next year's varsity squad. Page Twenty-nine 1
