and flag team. Grease became Omaha’s top dramatic production
of the spring as it attracted full house audiences every night.
Academics was an area that certainly was not avoided when
the honors were passed out. More money in Scholarships was
awarded to the seniors than ever before. There were five

nine-month school year the students, teachers and parents were
glowing with satisfaction guaranteed.
