A Critical Corner
A Combined Effort
For the first time in the many years the school has been in
operation, the baccalaureate sermon will be combined with the
graduation exercises.' The combination of these two services may
have caused concern among some students and parents; however,
it need not. Although this is changing a tradition of sorts, it is
in keeping with more modern standards. As a matter of fact, most
schools have already cancelled the baccalaureate sermon from their
order of graduation. Certainly the combination of the two services
is an excellent move for several practical reasons. In the first
place, attendance for the baccaluareate sermon has steadily declined
in the past years. The decline is noted both in student and parent
attendance. Another valid reason for the combination is that stu
dents are more interested in their graduation service and tend
to place more importance on it. By combining the two, seniors
spend less time and trouble rehearsing for two separate occasions.
We feel that the vote by the seniors to combine the baccalaureate
sermon and graduation exercise was an intelligent and time-saving
decision.
Get Out And Vote — Right!
Voting for president of the student body should be preceded by
much deliberation. We should base our choice on certain criteria
—ability to work well with others, past experience, ability to speak
before a group, a sense of humor, respect and concern for others,
poise, dignity, vision, initiative, intelligence, and unselfish dedica
tion. Let’s make this election a contest based on merit rather than
a popularity contest.
Hail To The Varsity
Shouldn’t we think it an honor to have a champion basketball
team and an honor to represent our school at the basketball
games? If so, how can we persist in doing something which brings
dishonor to our teams and our school? This is in reference to a
school cheer—“Rip ’em up, tear ’em up, give ’em h Blue!” Of
course, we may say, “It’s just a cheer. We’re not dishonoring our
school.” But yet, when we receive a personal letter from a specta
tor at one of the games, expressing surprise and personal offense
at the use of such a cheer, isn’t it time to give this cheer more
thought? If the executives of the school reprimand this cheer,
shouldn’t we feel it a dishonor to our school if we fail to refrain
from its use? The answer is yes. Let us hope none of our stu
dents will make future use of this cheer.
Beatles, Hair And Vision
Have you been seeing less and enjoying it less? Perhaps this
phenomena is a result of too much hair blocking your line of vision.
Some students sport “eye-covering’’ hair-do’s.
Long hair-do’s are fine for singing groups, if they want to
put their lives in danger. But for students, the line has to be
drawn somewhere! Bangs are nice, but if you find yourself bump
ing into things and people, your “cilia” is probably too long!
Besides the danger in this type of hair style, there is also the
matter of personal appearance. A hairdo should be neat and clean.
Let’s keep our barbers happy!

FOR “ANNIE GET YOUR GUN”
(Continued from Page 1)
Webb, Carol Renger, and Jane
Nicholds portrayed the brother and
sisters of Annie.
“Annie Get Your Gun” is the
story of Annie Oakley in the
1890’s and opens as the Buffalo
Bill Wild West Show comes to
Annie’s hometown. Frank Butler
is the sharpshooter of this group
and is challenged by the expert
marksman, Annie Oakley. Annie
wins the contest and is invited to
travel with the show throughout
Europe. As times elapses Frank
leaves Buffalo Bill’s show and
joins with Pawnee Bill. Neither
show has much money so the two
shows decide to combine into
one. At the conclusion of the
play Annie decides that her love
for Frank is more important than
competing with him in shooting
matches.

During a two-week period, Mr.
Morehead discussed the major as
pects of first aid from animal bite
to external cardiac massage. One
of the most interesting areas of
this program was the study of
mouth to mouth resuscitation in
which the girls worked in teams
and went through the actual
process. The girls also had the
opportunity to work with such
equipment as splints, bandages,
braces, and a dummy which Mr.
Morehead brought. Mrs. Game-
well concluded, “Mr. Morehead
did a marvelous job; our girls
were most receptive and I think
it’s a shame that every student
in school can’t have the oppor
tunity to attend such a session.”
