Pam Wiik
After arriving in New
York on Saturday, Pam, the
third and second place win­
ners and another member of
the company Pam repre­
sents, went to the Top of the
Rockefeller plaza for din­
ner. After the dinner the
four went to the Broadway
musical, “Annie Get Your
Gun” and later walked
around Times Square.
On Sunday Pam went to the
United Nations building with the
other winners and then to the*
Empire State building.

pire State building we could

all of Manhattan and New
York; I guess this is quite a
rare experience,” stated
Pam.
The group later went to din­
ner and then to the Radio City
music hall show.
Monday the group visited the
New York stock exchange. The
floor, the area where all the
trading is done, is for the mem­
bers of the Stock Exchange only.
There are no women allowed on
the floor so Pam observed the
Exchange from a gallery which
placed them looking down. “All
you can see are hundreds of men
in suits,” she commented. The
trading floor is approximately
two-thirds the size of a regular
football field.
The winners were, however,
allowed down on the floor so
that they might have their pic­
ture taken. They are some of the
first girls to be allowed on the
floor for quite a long time, ac­
cording to Pam.
Dr. Keith Funston, director of
the Exchange, then invited the
students for lunch in his own
dining room at the exchange.
After lunch the group did some
shopping and then they began
their return trip home.
“The thing that impressed me
most about New York was the
opportunities people have for
entertainment such as Broadway
plays, Radio City music hall and
all the other fascinating things
that there are to do there.”

Progressive honor roll to be adopted
for reward of significant improvement
The first progressive honor
roll will be posted in center hall
at the end of the fall semester.
The General and Executive
councils and the administration
have been studying the proposal
since last spring.
“We think a student should be
rewarded for raising his grade
point average .6 because for
many students this is an accom­
plishment equal to or surpassing
those who are on the regular
honor roll,” said John Stuckey,
activities director, explaining
the purpose of the new progres­
sive system.
Initial requirements for pro­
gressive honor roll are to raise
the grade point average .6 of a
grade in one grading period,
drop in no subjects and have no
“U’s” in citizenship. Sustaining
requirement is to raise the GPA
.2 of a grade in the following
quarter.
Beginning at the end of the
first semester, the progressive

gram; Morie Morrison, name

ets.
“The dinner will be a buf­
fet picnic coinciding with
the theme,” commented
Nancy Swett. “The main
purpose is to acquaint the
mothers with Girls’ league
and provide both mother
and daughter with an enter­
taining night.”
Mistresses of ceremony for the
evening are Nancy Swett and
Vice-President Teri Jones. Mrs.
Melva Anderson will present a
talk as part of the program.
Decorations including styro­
foam snowmen holding bouquets
of flowers will carry out the
theme. Tables will be decorated
Memorizing lines and working
under hot lights are not the only
ordeals actors must endure. Be­
fore each performance, they
must feel cold cream, grease­
paint, and powder spread lib­
erally over themselves and after­
wards they must take it off.
Learning under Mrs. Betty
Foster, drama coach, many ad­
vanced drama students are grad­
ually learning how to apply
stage make-up—one of the most
essential arts in the theatre.
“Amateur and professional
make-up is applied for charac­
terization and to bring out the
features and expressions of the
actors/’
commented Marsha
Thom, make-up committee chair­
man.
First, the actor applies cold
cream, and then a base of grease­
paint. Rouge is applied for the
old age characters. Lines are
drawn on the face to simulate
wrinkles. Highlighting is put
over the eye area.
Depending on the character,
different colors of greasepaint
and different lines are applied.
By using special techniques, any
type of character can be created
from a young girl of ten to a
grizzled old man of eighty.
honor roll will use first and sec­
ond quarters’ grades as criteria
for eligibility. Students meeting
the qualifications will have their
names posted on a bulletin board
in center hall.
Sophomores hold
'Frosh Fall Fling’
as welcome dance
“The Frosh Fling Into Fall” is
the theme for the annual Frosh
Frolic to be held tonight from
8 to 10:30 p.m. in the new gym
for freshman and sophomore
students.
“Live music for the dance will
be provided by the Chasemen,”
commented Ross Morman, soph­
omore class president. “How­
ever, the dance will not be a suc­
cessful welcoming for the fresh­
men unless many freshmen and
sophomores attend.”
Various committees and chair­
men working on the dance in­
clude Cheryl Doane, invitations;
Anne Prichard, decorations; Cin­
dy Lehi, procession; Robin Su­
wol, publicity; Cheryl Rodgers,
refreshments; Cathy Radford,
clean-up; and Larry Rex, tick­
ets.
Highlighting the dance will be
the crowning of a new Frosh
Frolic king and queen by last
year’s royalty, Cindy Lehi and
John Persich.
Thanksgiving theme

“Thanksgiving Is Fun” will be
the theme for this Wednesday’s
assembly honoring the holiday.
Both the speech and music de­
partments will participate.

Bob Blackford
Speech competition
awards Blackford
third place at state
Senior Bob Blackford took
third place in a speech competi­
tion November 11 at Seaside for
the annual state convention of
Soil Conservationists.
Bob qualified for the state fi­
nals through an elimination of
different area speech competi­
tions. In the first competition in
Scappoose, Oregon, Bob took
first place. There are 11 areas in
the state.
From the area finals Bob went
to the state semi-finals which
were held in Hillsboro. Out of
three area winners he won and
this then qualified him to go to
the state competition.
Out of the sixteen hundred
students who started out in the
finals Bob went through all of
the eliminations and came in
third place for the state. There
is no national competition.
Three trophies, two plaques
and a check for ten dollars were
Bob’s prizes in the different com­
petitions.
“I learned a lot about the agri­
cultural status of Oregon in my
research. The opportunity to give
the speech in these different
areas was.a great experience for
me,” Bob replied when asked
his reaction to being announced
third place winner.
