Tonight’s the night! “It’s going

class for all concerned,” Mr. Ga

THE CARNIVAL is held to

get more money than in past
years because there was no car
nival last year,” stated Terri
Jones, student body vice-presi
dent. She went on to say that
this year’s carnival is going to
be the “best one yet.”
Clubs will be sponsoring
booths ranging from a flower

'Time of Your Life' chosen as theme
for. Annual Spring Show seen in May
by Joyce DeMonnin
The names of Little Boy Blue
and many of his friends will be
heard quite frequently as the
annual Spring Show, to be pre
sented on May 9-10, takes you
through the “seven stages of
man.”
“TIME OF YOUR LIFE,” the
theme for the Spring Show, will
help illustrate the seven stages
of man’s life: Infancy, Child
hood, Adolescence, Oration, Mid
dle Age, Old Age, and Death.
The freshman and junior
choirs will each have a scene, as
will the ensembles, “so that each
ensemble will get to take part,”
explained Janet Howland, choir
director. Uncomplicated scenery
will be used, and “the members
of the department will probably
make the scenery themselves.”
JULIE LIND, a member of the
Choralettes, stated that she “be
lieved there will be a good turn
out. There usually always is.
Even though there are many
times during the weeks before
the show that we get scared that
things won’t turn out right, the
problems always seem to work
themselves out with little help.”
Julie finished by saying, “It is
well worth the time and effort
put into it. Everything works out
because it is a joint effort and
everyone helps.”
Substitutes include Carol Ada-
movics, Linda Schnell, Michelle
Burton and Barb Schuld. “On-
Call,” which is also a substitute
group, are Robin Cutler, Robin
Hanousek, Kay Brooks, Sheryl

Applicants for art staff were
required to assemble a “port

examples of the applicant’s tal

art teacher and art staff advisor,
“The present art staff members
checked the portfolios and chose
the new members, and then I had
the ‘veto’ power over their
choices.”
Announced on Tuesday, the
new staffers’ names were put on

-“The High-Q game against St.
Helens High, situated on the
beautiful Columbia River in St.
Helens, was won by the defend
ing champs,” team captain Larry
Wheeler said enthusiastically.
The Generals won their third
straight victory and, for doing
so, received a 20-volume set of
encyclopedias, “contrary to Mr.
Padrow’s statement that we had
won a 20-volume set if diction
aries,” Larry stated.
Each team member was
responsible for capturing sev
eral toss-ups, and consequently
earned the bonus points. Larry
and Margaret Fraser captured
the most points—three toss-ups
each.
“The whole team was so sharp
that I really can’t say anything
about any one person in particu
lar,” Larry commented. “Mar
garet was really tremendous, but
Evan Whipple and Steve Reinsch
were also great.”
The third victory for the Gen
erals was their last. According
to the rules of High-Q, no one
school can appear more than
three consecutive times.
