Activities Galore Occupied Homeroom and After- At the annual Valentine Tea girls again honored their mothers. Before the program mothers were guided through the receiving line where they met some of the administrators and faculty. After attending a program in the auditorium, mothers and daughters proceeded to the cafeteria for refresh- ments. For the socially minded Warrenite there existed no end to extra-curricular functions. Teas, dances, sock-hops, concerts, convocations, drama produc- tions and sports events all vied for a place on the Warrenites’ calendar. There were two semi-formal dances, Silver Swirl and the Spring Dance, plus several casual dances and numerous sock hops. Social events were ofte n witness to the beginning of new fads and the exchange of ideas— ideas involving new steps, the latest in dress, and “neatest cars.” Keith Eckler and Linda Zervas joined Ron Stamper and Sara Yotter at the traditional Fall Fantasy dance in the cafeteria. David Clark and Linda Nauta enjoy one of the sock hops scheduled after home football and basketball games.

J f Senior play cast members became acquainted with “Charley’s Aunt” early in March as they began rehearsals for the May 12 production. Reading scripts are Sherri Kennedy, Marijo Barnett, Jack Stiefel, Bud Vest, Judy Johnson, Bill Hall, Susan Douglas, Tom Jackson, Floyd Kirby and John Abernathy. Drama productions included the senior play, a children’s play and several one-acts for speech classes and Dramatics Club. Because the auditorium was not finished until time for the Christmas convocation, club members and those people interested in dramatics handled their work in the cafeteria. The children’s play, given at an orphanage, was directed by Barbara Beldon. Participating cast mem- bers were Roy Allegree, Barbara Heron, Larry Wade, Bill Hall, John Butler, Mike Davis and Rita Robertson. Willing seniors budgeted their time and spent hours in rehearsal to make their play, “Charley’s Aunt,” a success. Judy Johnson rests between acts and scans the script for cues for her next entrance.

School Hours In the first phase of the Christ- mas program, the entire student body gathered in the cafeteria to enjoy cookies and punch. They proceeded to the foyer to be led by the choir, as- sembled on the rotunda steps, in sing- ing Christmas carols. The climax of the program was the music depart- ment’s presentation of its annual med- ley of Christmas songs. Robert Day, trumpeter with the In- dianapolis Symphony Orchestra, was guest soloist at the orchestra concert in March. Mr. Day is a graduate of Warren. Joseph Barr, Indiana’s 11th district representative to Congress, spoke to government classes on the functioning of the governing body. Following his speech, Mr. Barr opened the meeting to questions and discussion from the floor. At one pep session preceding the Warren-Ben Davis basketball game, cheerleaders presented a skit predict- ing the Warriors’ ability to “scalp those Giants.” Students file from the auditorium following one of the convocations. No programs were scheduled until Christ- mas when the auditorium was finally completed.
