,..,... At last, here it is- Aaron Slick from Punkin Crick , starring Cappy Bic. The square dancing really is something to see-and doesn't Ches give that one line his all ! May 6, brings the Jr.-Sr. Prom. Could it be possible to be more excited than we are: or have more longing expression than the sophomores? Your time will come, we laugh- ingly tell them as, we set out for the Tampa Terrace. May Night follows, with Pat and Pete as King and Queen. The court consists of Anne and Kent, Harriet and John, Joan and Bill, Sue and Daleg along with seniors Lois and Gil- man, sophomores Sally and Jack. Graduation festivities, and once more the stars leave the stage as another year is over. ACT III A brief intermission, the blare of trumpets, then a hush falls over the theater as the last act unfolds. At long last, we stand behind the footlights, THE STARS OF 1950! Nearer, nearer-we're almost there. It is our big moment-to savor and remember for as long as we shall live. Yet, along with the glory there is much hard work for each member of the cast. It is our job to publish the i'Chatter, the Aqua Clara, and direct various organizations with efficiency and ease. Our first decision-the election of Bill as president-His a good one. Aided by Bobby, Betsy, Dale, Kent and Twinkle, the third act is sure to progress smoothly. Did you ever see such beautiful class jewelry-or a prouder look than our stars wear as they leave the auditorium first? Listen closely, and you'll hear them singing, lsn't It Great To Be a Senior -yep, it sure is! Excitement mounts as football season arrives. The question is, Will we be able to do it again? The cheerleaders, with capable Harriet as captain, have added Anne and .lack to their group. Our first game. a win, and each touchdown is a watery one. That was some bus trip to Punta Gorda-with Fuller the life of the party! !! Many games and many thrill- ing scores-St. Pete stops us temporarily with a tie, but with strength and spirit our boys fight on, yard by yard, to claim the Pineallas County and S. F. C. championships for the second successive year. Hats off to our coaches and Tornadoes! Cheers, also, to Liz, our beautiful Homecoming Queen, surrounded by lovelies. Harriet. Pat. Anne, and Barbara. Hurried shopping, gay tinsel, secret smiles, holidays-it all spells Christmas with a capital C , Was there ever a holiday season with more parties or fun? Back to the grind of mid-years. and it seems impossible to realize that our starring roles have reached the half-way mark. Can you believe it? Never a dull minute with basketball games each Tuesday and Friday night. Catch a glimpse of Captain Philip dashing by in his new uniform-bet we have the best-dressed team in the state. The year speeds by. We've almost reached our destination, and suddenly-We wish that we could turn back the calendar-Act Ill is passing much too swiftly. Then, before we know it, there we are-marching down the aisle in our caps and gowns-seeing our parent's proud faces, through a blinding mist of tears. Sitting on the stage, we begin to think back and recall the wonderful, happy incidents that have made up our senior year-Pat Neff as Anita', in The Ghost Flies South, the applause A Date With Judy received, and most of all Senior Week. including the Prom, Skip Day. and the banquet. Three years-a long time-and yet so short. Three years-filled with memories that can never be erased. Three years-and now we are alumni. The play is over. We take our bows amidst stirring applause. The curtain closesg the audience quickly empties the theater. A hushed silence falls. We are sad, but not regretful. Without a backward glance we leave th th face the future-unafraid. e eater-eyes shining, head erect-walking out to noise
