Time for seniors to select the college of their choice As the re maining days of the calendar school year evaporate, it be- comes evident to the observer that soon it will all be over.

On May 1, seniors in Dallas d across the nation, made the P omplex decision of where and if they will attend college this fall. Congratulations to all those stu- dents, wherever they plan to go, who have selected a future course and good luck in each of your endeavors. 000 Prom, another indicator of the DALLAS HIGH SCHOOL NEW) ROSEMARY SHAVER year’s decline, was held yester- day. With a theme of “Fire and Ice,” not surprisingly, it was a memorable event for all those students present. oo 0 In other news, students should take note that Dallas High School's annual literary magazine, the Ink Blot, is cur- rently on sale in Room 36. Each year, the Ink Blot, a publication moderated by the constant guid- ance of English teacher Mrs. Pas- quini, offers Dallas students from all grade levels the limited opportunity to showcase their literary and artistic works to the entire student body. For the first time this year, the magazine was printed in color to further en- hance the art works present on its pages and the overall quality of the publication. So please sup- port the efforts of your fellow students with the purchase of an Ink Blot for the price of only $2. It is indeed worth the cost to read the student-written original poetry, essays, short stories, and artwork which composes the Ink Blot. oo 0 Dallas students Brandon Harding, Joe Pretko and Rosem- ary Shaver recently participated in the American Legion Essay contest, an annual writing con- test organized by the Dallas chapter of the American Legion. Harding and Pretko each re- ceived honorable mentions in the contest and Shaver placed third. Congratulations to these students.

The final day of homeroom will be June 4 and graduation day is scheduled for June 13. Stu- dents will be briefed on the de- tails by their advisors during school hours. It is essential that parents at- tend the meeting to have a grasp on these events. Rosemary Shaver is a senior at Dallas High School.

Lee. It is the story of how a high class woman living at the peak of the 1920’s in New York deals with receiving an orphan nephew, Patrick Dennis. The first act deals with Pa- trick’s nanny, Agnes Gooch, mov- ing with Patrick into Mame’s apartment and Mame fighting with her close friend, Vera Char- les. Dwight Babcock, a stubborn banker, invades Mame, demand- ing Patrick join him to become a prisoner of the Establishment. When the Depression hits, Babcock receives Patrick and Mame needs to find a job. She los- es many quickly but while work- ing as a manicurist, she meets Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside and he discovers Mame’s talent of riding a horse. As the first act ends, Patrick be- lieves he night have lost his Aun- tie Mame to another man. Act Two rushes into the 1930’s where Beau suddenly dies and Vera comforts Mame. Patrick is in college now and isn’t as close with Mame as they once were. In- evitably, Patrick saves the day again. As Patrick rescued Mame from the shallow 1920’s, she saves him from himself and a life full of conceit. The spring musical couldn’t have been this successful without Lake-Lehman’s musical director Jonathan Pineno. Brenda Nighb- ert was the conductor of the or- chestra and played piano. Chore- ography was done by Lauren Dawsey. We are extremely proud of everyone’s hard work!
