SENIOR BALL D The swish of the formals. the fragrance of the eorsages. the striking handsorneness of the boy 5. and the ballroom is ere all a part of our Senior Bull held on January 21, 1956. at the Holiday Motel. Every senior. his guest. and all the chaperones had a simply marvelous time dancing to the dreamy music of Frank Taylofs Orchestra and consuming the pretzels, potato chips, and thirst quenching punch. Maybe you still have that cherished photograph taken hy Mr. Hunter. After the Ball and the many parties every - one fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow. Even the aftermath of paper containers and health authorities failed to dim the pleasant memories of our Senior Ball. if . 4, x 57

Nuo THE MIKADO As The Mikadol, opens, Nanki-Poo is inquiring about the fair maiden Yum-Yum with whom he has fallen in love and may now be able to marry since her guardian Ko-Ko, who wished to marry her himself, has been con- demned to death for flirting. Nanki-Poo learns that Ko- Ko has become Lord High Executioner, thus preventing himself from being beheaded. In fact is planning to marry Yum-Yum that very afternoon. Suddenly a letter arrives from the Mikado ordering Ko-Ko to execute somebody or lose his position as Lord High Executioner. By allowing Nanki-Poo to marry Yum- Yum for one month, Ko-Ko will have a subject for the execution when the month is up-Nanki-Poo. Many rejoice for the brief career of Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum, but an elderly lady Katisha, who was to marry Nanki-Poo, arrives on the scene looking for her lost lover. As Yum- Yum is preparing for her marriage, Ko-Ko arrives with the news that ifa married man is executed his wife must be buried alive and also that the Mikado is on his way to Titipu, The only solution seems to be the falsifying of an execution to please the Mikado. When they find that the Mikado has not come to Titipu to see an execution but in search of his son, they agree the only hope for them is to admit the falsehood of Nanki-Poo's death. However, Nanki-Poo has already married Yum-Yum and Ko-Ko is positive Katisha will insist upon the death of both Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum. To solve the problem Ko-Ko offers his hand to Katisha and after singing Wil- low tit-willowi' she accepts him. Nanki-Poo and Yum- Yum are together and the operetta ends with song and danced,
