Talented Musicians Found Their Own F acuities Sharon Hinchman selects her flute from the storage room. When musical instruments are not in use, they are stored by band and orchestra members. The band, choir and orchestra rooms, two storage areas, uniform room, music library and six practice rooms of the new music suites are a far cry from the old Rooms 16 and 9! Students wanting vocal or instrumental music, and solo and ensemble work found ample facilities to further their careers or hobbies. Although the C. E. Eash Auditorium was not in use until Christmas, it was the scene of many activities after that. Convocations, pep sessions, special club meet- ings, movies, plays, musical concerts and baccalaureate were there. The 900-seat auditorium was constructed for nearly perfect acoustics. It was decorated in a green and brown color combination with carpeted aisles. The auditorium lent Warrenites all the facilities of a Broadway theater. The girls’ and boys’ dressing rooms, costume storage and properties room were first used by drama students in the senior play, “Charley’s Aunt.” For the many convocation speakers and programs, student lighting technicians learned to operate the spotlights, flood lights and other lighting controls back- stage. Treble Tones rehearse with Mrs. Robert Roesner for the state solo and ensemble contest in one of the two sound-proof music rooms. Facilities of these rooms are of the latest design and engineering.

As the eleven o’clock bell sounded, Warrenites poured through inside and outside doors into the new green, gold and coral cafeteria. A separate faculty dining room, located off the main cafeteria, allowed teachers to have their noon breaks, too. No loud cheers resounded from the walls of the new 4,500 seat gymnasium this year, but underclassmen awaited the opening of next year’s basketball season to see the first game played in the huge area. Unique design will allow physical education directors to schedule four classes at once, two on the upper levels and two on the floor itself. Locker and shower rooms for boys and girls combine with offices, a Teen Canteen center and maintenance facilities to provide Warren with one of the finest gyms in this area. Janice Croucher, Dave Archer, Floyd Kir- by and Mike Davis participated in the Dramatics Club play in the cafeteria. After finishing lunch, Marjorie Wil- son and Donna Whiteside place their trays on the conveyor. Entertainment Centers Dennis Richardson and Don Rardon hurry through the cafeteria serving lines choosing their lunch from the menu provided by the Federal Lunch Program.

in Auditor ium Area Lighting the stage with various shades of color, the switchboard is one of the most essential aspects of the new auditorium. This device changes the color of the lights according to the mood and purpose of the performance and it also controls all other lighting in the auditorium. After a rousing convocation, nothing but the rhythmic sweeps of the janitor’s broom from upstage can be heard in the abandoned auditorium.
