Senior Play SEVENTEEN IS AWFULLY YOUNG A rousing comedy, in three acts, written by Ruth and Nathan Hale, was presented by the South Hill Senior Class, Friday, February 25, 1955 at 8:00 P. M. This is the story of the Eliot sisters: Jan, the favored pampered darling, and Nicki, the mouse. The Eliots have just moved to the small town of River- ville, and Jan is in revolt. AtRosstown High she had been chosen most attrac- tive girl of the year, so enrolling in a school with a student body of three hun- dred was quite a let-down- -that is, until she saw Jack Westmore. Nicki saw him, too, and ran into her little corner and began to daydream, as usual, about a fairy godmother who would change her into a glamour girl overnight and one did, a school teacher, a Miss Tilby, who had an amazing gift for catalog- ing people and putting them exactly where they belonged. A thumbnail sketch of the whole situation dissolves itself into what is re- ally a tussle between brawn, beauty, and brains, with brains, comingout on top for a change--which doesn’t mean it’s lacking in oomph- -Ohno, there ’s plenty of that, with Goofer, the football hero, and that double-crossing Jan, who’d re- sort to anything to keep Jack Westmore. The play characters were: Jan - Harriette Moseley; Nicki - Gayle Weaver; Mother - F ranees Callahan; Jack Westmore - Harvey Crowder; Miss Tilby - Eula Ray Williams; Albert - Jimmie Keith Crowder; Ruby Rainey - Frances Taylor; Goofer Peterson - Bill Cook; Thaddeus - Buck Feild; Caroline - Eulia Clyde Crowder.

School Song Of South Mill High (Tune: “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp”) 1. Now we greet you one and all Though our efforts may be small And we come again your praises to receive. For with your inspiring aid We shall feel we’re well repaid. For you wish us all success we must believe. Chorus: Sing then of the South Hill High School For her colors true we’ll stand. And we hope as years go by That our flag will wave on high Calling boys and girls to join our student band. 2. May we meet together here With a purpose true and clear. To be better fitted for our every task. And if sometimes you will find That our efforts fall behind Time and patience from you That is all we ask. 3. Life itself is but a school With its lessons and its rules. And each pupil in this school must play his part. Let us then perform our work Not a duty shall we shirk. But we’ll strive to do our best with hand and heart. Written by Mr. Richard Thornton, Principal, in 1912. 5
