The School Reporter

DECATUR HIGH By Gwen Hilyard Again this week, D. H. S. has been engaged in a whirl of activities, most of which have centered around the spring operetta, Harmony Hail. The first performance was given this afternoon, and another performance will be given this evening starting at 8 p.m. The final production of this musical comedy will be presented tomorrow evening in the auditorium at 8 p.m. Tickets will still be available at the door for those who have not already faade their purchase. • • • • There is bound to be some confusion "behind the scenes" in a production such aa Harmony Hall, but some of this chaos is alleviated with the able assistance of two junior girls, Helen Roth and Shirley Waas. Helen la “prompter," and Shirley takes care of the props. With 60 students participating in the operetta, this has been quite a job. Thanks so much, Helen and Shirley. • • • • Although she Is not in a leading part, Dana Dalzell is kept busy throughout the entire two acts. She is first seen singing In the chorus with a solo line in the first song. She then switches backstage and does the sound effects, followed by appearing in a street

band as the flutist. In the second act, she is seen as one of the six singing bridesmaids and from there on she renders her alto voice as part of the chorus. • • * • "Dee Dee" Striker is another busy girl, portraying the part of Laura in the first act and also singing a short solo. She is also one of the bridesmaids in the second act. Other bridesmaids are Dorcas Thieme, Leah Brandeberry; and Judy Keller who are all doing their share to make Harmony Hall such a colorful operetta. * * * • A “character" to watch throughout the entire • play is McTavish who is played by Roger Daniels. McTavish is a Scotch lawyer hired for a special purpose, and Buddy (as he is called by friends) has developed a most convincing Scottish brogue and most of the comedy is centered around ♦ ♦ ♦ * It is hoped that these few “notes and comments" from behind the curtains of Harmony Hall will induce many to come and see it either tonight or tomorrow' night. » • » * Don’t forget the FFA parent and son banquet this coming Monday evening at 6:30, in the high school auditorium. The meal will be prepared and served by the girls from the home ec department. Toastmaster for the evening will be Jerry Grote, and Jane Rentz will provide the dinner music. The senior girls sextet will also be featured. • • • ♦ The orchestra has been diligently practicing for the. spring concert they will present April 29. Lullabies are also being practiced by Mr. Reed, as .he and his wife welcomed a brand new baby boy into their family last week. Paul Clinton and motfier, too, are botH reported doing nicely, • • • • In an assembly program before the senior high Monday, DHS had as their guest speaker Leo Hauptman, admissions counselor from Ball State Teachers college in Muncie. He also met with 13 juniors and seniors who are contemplating taking a teaching course after graduation. A new (or at least different) car has been added to the line up in front of D.H.S. every day, when it runs! The car in mention is a 1929 Model A Ford belonging jointly to Bill Hancher, Dave Halterman, and Fred McDougal. But this car is in a class of its own! It’s a convertible! Os course it wasn’t in the beginning, but when spring was being threatened, the boys took up ‘a collection to have the top cut off. This was done without charge with the assistance of Orley Krick, and the “collection money” probably went for gas. Tuesday, this car was “crawling with kids” as the snap-shot editors of the year book, * Anita Smith and Janet Lane,’were seen snapping pictures of the ”npw" car. • » ♦ » If you see high school girls walking around with almost knee length pants, don’t be alarmed. They didn't cut off their slacks! The Bermuda shorts rage has hit D.H.S. and the brave girls who started this fad here have gallantly withstood all the teasing that came their way—. — — - » » * » In the advanced typing class, Nola Isch and Joyce Franklin have been the only two to attain a 50 word certificate and each of these girls did so Tuesday. These awards are based on 10 minute timed writings, and to get this particular award, they typed at least 50 correct words per minute with a maximum of five errors. > Congratulations, Joyce and Nola. ♦ ♦ * ♦ Our principal. Hugh Andrews, attended a principal’s meeting in Chicago last Thursday and Friday and was greatly missed by the faculty and students during his \ two days absence. • • » » The annual Indiana state FFA convention will be held at Purdue University this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Gerald Grote and | 'Richard Marbach are the two dele- ! gates representing the Decatur chapter. Ronnie Vetter will also attend the convention as a cohtestant in the finals of the state essay contest. While there he will receive an award for winning the .district VI cbntetit ’in Febriiafy. and D. 11. S. is hoping that he y.lll add a state award. The cuu- •

vention will be highlighted by a banquet on Friday night. Mr. Journay will leave school Friday afternoon to attend the convention, and will also stay Friday night and Saturday. • * • ♦ DECATUR CATHOLIC By Joan Laurent Two senior girls are planning to Visit St. Francis College in Fort Sunday. The girls, Leola Ford and Kathleen Pursley, will tour the campus of the college with their mother*, Mrs. Lester Ford and Mrs. Pursley. The clothing drive for the boys and girls of the St. Francis Mission in St. Francis, S. D„ will end this week.
