STUDENTS ATTEND
JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR
Twelve students attended a
performance of Jesus Christ Su-
perstar, Sunday, October 15, at
7:30 p. m. in Gholson’s Wesley
Chapel Methodist Church.
Jesus Christ Superstar, a
Rock Passion by Andrew Lloyd
Webster and Tim Rice, was pre-
sented by a cast of 23 youth
known as “The Youth of Tri-
nity Methodist Church’’ The
13-act presentation dealt with
the last week of Jesus’s life
and Crucifixion, as well as the
effect that His life and death
had on the lives He touched.
Jesus Christ, portrayed by
Jim Robinson, is confronted
with the question of who and
what He is and if He is as great
as everyone says throughout the
play, while Judes Iscariot (Jim-
my Timmons) and Mary Magda-
lene (Carole Gordon) argue the
fact that Jesus is of rational
mind when He pi edicts His
death. In the final scene, which
deals with His Crucifixion, the
question that has haunted Je-
sus throughout His life is an-
swered through His death,
leaving the audience with the
thought: Would it have happen-
ed this way, if Jesus were to
come this day and time?
Students attending the per-
formance were seniors Doris
Ballew and Kathy Engelke: ju-
niors Dixie Ballew, Carla Bal-
lew, Kenneth Cervenka, Nancy
Engelke, and sophomores Col-
by Ballew, Arthur Engelke, and
suzle Womack; freshmen Mark
McDougal, Brenda Engelke, and
James Henson.
MRS. KLINE'S
EFFORTS RECOGNIZED
By Judy Barton
Room I in the main building-
can reconsidered a freezer dur-
ing the winter (in certain sec-
tions) a gnat political party
during the warmer months, a
candle shop, ladies’ hosiery or
men’s socks department, a can-
dy store, or a Junior-Senior
Prom factory. The First Lady
and general manager of this
bustling, ever-anlmate ware-
house is Mrs. Laura Kline, re-
cently selected ‘Teacher of the
Month” by the FTA.
Mrs. Kline began teaching
math at West 16 years ago as a
result of a phone call that she
received from Supt- M. F. Kruse.
During the late summer of
1954, the math teacher at West
resigned. Mr. Kruse called the
teacher placement center at
Baylor to see if any math tea-
chers were available. They gave
him Mrs. Kline's name and
phone number. Mr. Kruse called
the number, and Mrs. Kline’s
mother answered. Her mother
said that Mrs.. Kline was out of
the state temporarily and she
gave him the name of the hotel
where Mr- and Mrs. Kline were
staying.
Mr. Kruse called the hotel and
was able to speak with Mrs.
Kline. Mrs. Kline is one of West
High’s “signed - unseen” em-
ployees; Mr. Kruse hired her
without meeting her in person.
Living all of her life in Wa-
co, Mrs. Kline graduated from
Waco High and then attended
Baylo as a pre-mod student. She
changed toteaching of biologi-
cal sciences since med schools
were filled. Mrs. Kline minored
in math beause she found it
interesting. “Math teachers were
in much more demand than
science teachers,” said Mrs.
Kline.
On June 4, 1954, Mrs. Kline
married Robert Kline. They
have a daughter, bom Novem-
ber 27, 1959, now a seventh
grader at St. Louis Eelenmtary
School in Waco.
Although Mrs. Kline teaches
five classes in math, she finds
time on her schedule to sponsor
the Slide Rule and Chess clubs-
Her most noted task, as junior
sponsor, is sharing with every
Junior Class, from 15 years past
to the present, the headaches
and worries of earning money
to plan and carry out the Ju-
nior-Senior Prom cacli spring.
One could not imagine the
countless bars or boxes of can-
dy or orders of hosiery and socks
sold, and most important, the
amount of money and woik that
went into the past 15 proms.
Right now the sixteenth prom
is in the making.
Mrs. Kline said that she will
never forget being honored as
Teacher of the Month and hav-
ing the 1966 Trojan yearbook
dedicated to her.
The following excerpt from
the 1966 Trojan epitomizes the
feelings and memories students,
especially juniors, have of Mrs.
Kline since she began her teach-
ing career 16 years ago.
“Each year the Junior Class
knows how hard you work to
help it complete its many pro-
jects successfully. Your helpful
suggestions, the extra efforts you
have made for many of us, and
most of all, your friendship have
meant much during our high
school years.’’
Halloween Safely
Besides ghosts and goblins, there’s often real danger lurk-
ing in the Halloween night air. Every year many triek-or-
treaters are seriously injured or poisoned from eating candy
and other goodies given to them by strangers. Youngsters
have been known to receive candy coated with rat poisoning
and fruit containing razor blades. Parents should give their
children strict instructions not to eat anything given to them
by strangers until they arrive home. At home, parents should
carefully inspect everything received.
Also, if youngsters trick-or-treat at night, he sure they wear
light colors so thev can he seen by cars, walk along the shoul-
der of the road facing traffic if there are not sidewalks, wear
makeup instead of a mask to see better, wait outside of homes
of strangers for treats and carry flashlights instead of candles
or jack-o’-lanterns.
Fire Prevention
Now’s a good time to take stock of your homo for National
Fire Prevention Week, October 8-14. Check for potential fire
hazards and familiarize your family with a planned fire es-
cape route to safety. Survey the premises to determine tho
exit which will provide safe escape from bedrooms in case
file normal means of egress are blocked. Have a prearranged
signal to alert family members and a predetermined meeting
place outside where everyone will assemble. Make sure chil-
dren know not to stop to remove valuables or toys. Finally,
make sure the fire department’s phone number is posted on
the telephone and that you report your name, address, closest
street intersection and nature of the fire, if possible.
Juniors Sell Uandles
Colorful, sculptured candies in
six varieties are being sold by
the Junior Class this year. The
candles range in color from pine
green to ice blue, and have a
different design carved on each
one. They sell for $150 each
while the holders sell for 50
cents.. Although the sculptured
candles are not scented, the ju-
niors will also be selling pine
and bayberry candles in glass
containers.

een candy scale. The candy is
