To Have Pictures Taken in June
Senior class pictures will be
made early for the 1966 Cherokee
—so early that mist students will
have been seniors for only
hour or two.
In order to meet early dead-
lines for a larger Cherokee next
year, senior pictures will be tak-
en June 3 in the school auditori-
um. Pictures will be taken
by alphabetical order group-
ings, according to the students’
last names: A-C, 8 a.m.-9:30; D-
H, 9:45-10:45; L-O, 11-12 noon; P-Z
1-2 p.m. The photographer will
remain until 2:30 to take the pic-
tures if any students who can-
not make their appointed times.
Neutral-colored drapes will be
used for the senior girls. They
will have a soft, V-neck, slightly
off-the-shoulder, and be made of
'South Pacific'Ends
At Arlington High
“South Pacific” is being pre-
sented by Arlington High School’s
music department for the last
evening tonight.
The Rodgers and Hammerstein
musical has already been present-
ed on Wednesday and Thursday
nights. The admission for students
is 75 cents, for adults $1. Curtain
time is 8 p.m. w
Eleven speech, debate, and
journalism students will be seek-
ing additions to Sam Houston’s
trophy case as they travel to
TCU Saturday to participate in
the regional meet.
Only district winners in speech
and debate are qualified to enter
the regional contest. Since there
is no district journalism compe-
tition,, Tnn.i. Schne?der( and Jo
Johnson will be participating for
the first time, with Vyvyan Mc-
Amis as alternate.
Toni and Jo will enter five con-
tests in journalism. They are fea-
grades, attended Sam Houston
for 18 consecutive weeks before
the election, and must be a jun-
ior or senior next year. These
girls also must turn in a letter of
self nomination signed by their
parents. This letter must also tell
why the girl wants to be cheer-
leader and why she believes that
she is qualified for the position.
Gives Reasons
“Any girl wanting to try out
for cheerleader should be willing
to give her time and energy to
practice in the summer. She
should also be willing to do her
best to uphold the standards of
the Sam Houston cheerleaders,”
Mrs. Joy Tomlinson, sponsor, said.
The cheerleaders plan pep ral-
lies, attend and yell at football
games, make spirit posters, and
act as the visible spirit boosters
of the school.
Bell guards appear with Big
Sam at the various school acti-
vities. They must also have a
letter of self-nomination signed
by their parents stating that they
fully understand the obligations,
responsibilities, and cost if their
child is chosen bell guard. Bell
guards are selected by a student
council advisory board, a mem-
ber of the coaching staff, and
cheerleader sponsor.

HERE IT IS — Sophomore Jeannie Brinson hands her letter of
self-nomination to cheerleader sponsor Mrs. Joy Tomlinson well
ahead of the May 10 deadline set by the office. Those girls trying
out for cheerleader should give their letters to Mrs. Tomlinson.
Those who seek student council offices should give their letters
to Mrs. Myra Curry.

suit coats and white shirts; ties
will be furnished. Dark coats are
preferred.
Mrs. Louise Gilbreath, sponsor,
stressed the importance of stu-
dents arriving on time if they
want their pictures in the annual.
Although other alternative plans
had been suggested, this idea
seemed to be most advantageous,
Mr. Gilbreath said. The photog-
rapher will have more time to
spend with each individual and
the timing should not be too in-
convenient since students must
return to school for report cards
and senior rings, anyway, she
added. 5

the Arlington State ballroom from

and cheerleader nominees?

read and approved. Cheerleaders

paign speeches will be given by

their son or daughter permission
to run for the office of_____________________

dent council, as well. He will be
the official host for all visitors
to the school and spokesman for
the students. He is also a liaison
for the students and the school
administration and will preside at

Clubs Wash, Bake
To Improve Lounge
Cars, cakes, and cokes may
seem an unusual combination,
but that’s the next act on the
Furnish Our Student Lounge pro-
gram.
The event will take place May
1 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the
school parking lot. Actually, it
will be a car wash-bake sale-re-
freshment stand.
While Honor Society members
wash cars for $1 each and offer
various baked goods for sale, the
Interact Club will sell cold drinks.
All proceeds will go to the
FOSL fund. Presently, the fund
contains $250.
Meanwhile, another lounge has
been aided. The Future Teachers
of America recently purchased a
refrigerator for the teachers
lounge, where the entire faculty
may benefit from it.
FTA gave $60 for the student
lounge project, also.

Invitations to Arrive May 3
By CANDY POOLE i Appearing first on the agenda
What next? If you’re a puzzled Iis the expected arrival of the
senior, this may answer some of graduation invitations May 3.
Nineteen days later the long-
awaited senior prom will take
place. In the days before, final
plans for this memorable eve-
ning will have been made and
carried out in such a way as to
ensure a perfect prom.
Despite the parties, dances, and
teas, school work will continue.
Final exams (seniors only) will
be May 26 and 27.
Standing in single file alpha-
betically may sound boring, but
it’s all a part of the baccalaureate
service. Practice for the cere-
mony will be conducted May 28.
The rite itself will be held May
30 at 8 p.m. Two tickets will be
given to each senior for their
guests. No one will be admitted
without a ticket. There is no
charge.
Almost like vacation, May 31,
will be designated as a free day
for seniors. Swimming, skiing, and
probably sleep are in order then.
Back to work on June 1 for
graduation practice! Maybe it
will be easier this time since all
seniors will have experienced the
