The first-act business of Love Your Neighbor was moving along smoothly as they watched and waited, until it finally happened. Sud- denly and reassuringly came the first outburst of audience approval, the first laugh, and Worried lines on the backstage faces disappeared as the actors smiled with the laughing ones out front, satisfied that this student production was on its Way to suc- cess. The friendly, if confused, horniness of this Senior play afforded a contrast to our junior presentation. The laughable, lovable antics of such unforgettable characters as Biddy Brady, the Vashkis, and Zeke, the garbage man, spelled certain success for our final curtain call. When the applause had ended, We rub- bed oii grease paint, knowing that our high-school footlight thrills were finished, and we had only the applause to remember.

Jw With Clean Speech, Clean Living, Clean Scholarship, and Clean Sports as our stand- ards, the Hi-Y club experienced a success- ful year with Gene Meyer, presidentg Bob Karch, vice-president, David Huffman, treas- urer, Dick Gleim, Secretary and Jerry Mark- ley, Sergeant-at-Arms. The calendar included a swim party, gym sessions, various interesting speakers and a masquerade party. One meeting was spent in organizing a Hi-Y club at Lancaster Cen- tral high school. The Older Boys Conference, held at India- napolis, Was represented by six boys, who prospered by the program. The 4th District Hi-Y Conference. of which Neil Harris is president, was held April 3. at the First Baptist Church. The chorus sang several selections and the address was given by Mr. Denio. the associate state secretary of the Y. M. C. A. The efforts of the members were focused on the annual Best-Girl Banquet held on April 30. at the beautifully decorated Baptist Church. One evening in November, a group of boys attired in white coats and black bow ties made their first appearance as the newly organized Hi-Y chorus. The chorus met with immedi- ate success under the direction of Mrs. Grim- sley and presented many entertaining pro- grams. They added their masculine voices to the ttSpring Festival and actually proved they were HStout Hearted Men. wr -- ITN-i-Q Dnuv' lin:-A Nffn
