MINSTRELS The spot catches beautiful ladies as end men frelic, stage hands toil, and the irio goes into a hurried rehearsal hack stage.

To T H E Y CD U T H QF WTTHRQW HIGH SCHOCDL, it may be a shy glance from a beautiful face, a grid- iron hero clutching a slippery pigslqin, or the breathless pause at the peak of a pole Vault. It may be the surge of the home-going crowd boarding the street car, the absorption ot inten- sive study in the library, or a tense moment experienced while on the stage ot a dimly lighted auditorium. Time, to them, is youth-laughter-thrills -serious thought.

THE VVITHROW BAND The Withrow Band of l935 has now completed its seventh year under the direction of Mr, George Smith. Through Smittie's jolly personality, hard work, and faculty for inspiring cooperation, this organization has become one of the best high school bands in the city. MINSTREL What the footlights reveal and what goes on behind scenes at the minstrel show make a study in con- trast. The beautiful costumes, the modern music, and smooth running performance which the audience knows, are only the result of endless rehearsals and tireless activity back stage. lnstruments must be tuned, costumes pressed, girls made up, and boys blackened before the curtain can be drawn. Final instructions, the lights are dimmed, the curtain drawn, the show begins! Hurried change of costumes, re-touching of make-up, last minute rehearsing of routing, interrupted by the cry of the call boy, con- tinue long after the show has started. From the wings, each performer takes the stage, entering with a reassuring word in his ear, and a pat on his backg returning to friends waiting with congratulations. Four nights of this, and Withrow crashes through with another stupendous production, and four packed houses to its credit. Hats off to the l935 Minstrel Show. lO7 l
