After weeks dawned to find ideal game and dance. All --Leonard Wrysinske ask confronting the Seniors was the Home- of preparation, the day of November weather for the pep meeting, parade, the classes and organizations of the high school, and even the third and fourth grades, had planned and constructed beautiful, or comic las the case might bel floats, and shortly after four that afternoon, the towns- people were delighted to view the stately procession led by the poppy band in clown costume. Prizes were donated by the local merchants to the best looking, the funniest, and the most original floats. Before the parade left the high school, the student body was entertained at a riotous pep meeting staged by the Seniors. A. H. S. Barn Dance was the setting, but it is suspected that much was borrowed from the good old W. L. S. Barn Dance, as one could recognize the Hoosier Hot Shots, Uncle Ezra, and even Lulubelle, though she was minus her flaming ringlets. The square dancers brought down the house with their stomps A as well as with their identity, and ther were a few anxious fans who wondered if Corky, Jess, and Sonny would have any energy left to make touchdowns, but their fears were needless as the score that night gave Marshfield the small end of 55-7. The next project sponsored by the Class of 1957 was the entry 'E1merW in the Masquer play contest, which was presented before the main room audience, December 15th. It wasn't just the fact that the Senior class was well provided with talent, but in addition every member of the cast put forth his last ounce of effort. Underclassmen still comment on the forceful- ness of F1oyd's Sh-sh-sh's, and Charlotte's ability to win your sympathy, and Lorraino's utter disregard of the law of gravity, and the gallantry with which Jess adjusted his fair lady's galoshes. Edna did the nrheumaticksn so well that one admirer sent in her name for a Sloan's ad, themselves wide open and the twins laid to August's HI always said so,W for weeks afterward because they did the selfish sisters act so capably. Florence with her worried mother's role made the visiting parents feel right at home. Much wasn't seen of Ernest, but he could be heard tooting his horn, as :usual, only this time it was attached to a pooch, did her part admirably, but it is said that she battery, backstage. Minnie, the Billings ,turned up her nose at the hamburger so faithfully prepared by Mildred Benner. Kwarnings, Buteh.J The stage hands, property managers, curtain pullors, etc-, worked like Trojans to make the project a success, and then the curtain finally dropped on the happy ending, everyone went outgte do his Christmas shopping in the best of spirits.
