SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Brooks family, as portrayed by the class of '57, in the play, THE BABBLING BROOKS, was indeed a peculiar one. Nettie Brooks simply couldn't resist the chance to embroider any choice bits of gossip she obtained. Because of this weakness, she found her- self involved in a struggle with Hal Weston, the new young sheriff. When Hal comes to the Brooks home to ask Nettie to please refrain from talking, he meets her daughter, Norma, and immediately falls in love. Homer, Norma's fourteen year old brother, also has love troubles heightened by Betty's neighborhood news- paper. Betty, age fifteen, is a live wire who throws the whole neighborhood into a panic with her publica- tion. The family is rounded out by Granny Brooks who decides she's tired of feeling forty and looking seventy, Carol Kingsley and Julia Parker, the two young TV mystery play writers who live in the apartment on the second floor of the Brooks home, unknowingly provide Betty and her high school clique with a scoop for their first publication of the BABBLER. When they print all the facts about an undiscovered murder, things come to a vortex. In the course of events in this highly amusing play, Betty learns to deal with facts she's sure of, Nettie learns that gossip can be fatal, Hal decides the Brooks home is no suitable place for his beloved, and Granny emerges gloriously as a chic television actress. Homer, -- l. .1 well, unfortunately, Homer didn't learn anything, but he definitely enjoyed his grief when his romance was ruined, The seniors who worked on this play had a marvelous time and felt they had really accomplished something when the returns came rolling in.

We'll always remember how we felt when our band marched out on the field, and how, through the cold and mud, they performed so well. We'll long remember the letter girls and ma- jorettes who, though their legs turned blue and their feet went numb, performed with sureness and ability, The absence of the Dieterich students this year places our school in Class B for the music contest, This year the band will participate as an organization where as in the past only soloists and ensembles have participated.
