Senior Mary Ann Bull, attending Drake University starting in June, will major in art and take maximum dramatics and music. A longtime newspaper staffer and former editor, she also sang in glee club and chorus, played lead in drama, and enjoys gardening, piano, and art coursework. She studied briefly in Palm Springs last winter, and her pet peeve is jealousy and teasing.
Last Saturday three school buses carried the band, girls glee club and boys glee club to Monona for concert contests with results: boys glee club II, band and girls glee club III. Tuesday featured a Tripoli high gym program directed by R. W. Upton including senior and junior bands, boys and girls glee clubs, and mixed chorus. The program closed with The Star Spangled Banner. On May 7 the clarinet quartet and boys quartet performed at Grace Lutheran. May 17 the band travels to the Northeast Iowa Band Jubilee at Waterloo among 47 bands. Donna Heideman is Miss Melody representative from Tripoli. Two weeks earlier groups went to Vinton for state contest with results: clarinet quartet I, saxophone quartet III, drum ensemble II, Marian Lahmann student conductor II.

Donna Heide man praised the theme, Marjorie Oltrogge enjoyed the band and attire, Ronald Warner called the food fair, Pauline Bunger noted decorations, Allan Drape liked the prom and the girls, Roxie Beisner liked the band and costumes, Lavern Kuker found the menu unclear with Dutch notes. The menu’s language confusion capped overall impressions.
