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.

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 mm AND THE CHALLENGE A monument to educational supremacy sprawls over broad acres Its steel and brick and concrete give form to the great challenge “Learn, grow, mature, work, laugh— here.” And so the student walks with pride and awe, yet humbly, For four years this magnificent building is his to utilize, to serve. Is he capable of accepting this challenge? Is he wise enough to appreciate the proffered guidance? Only the passing of fall to spring, of sophomore to senior will tell. Mr. Clifford Cates, counsellor for the junior class, aids Donna Cherry in plan- ning her schedule for the coming year. Will Lamm, junior, makes an appointment for consultation at the receptionist’s desk in the guidance center. He is aided by Mrs. Clarice Means, sophomore counsellor.
