STORY OF THE PLAY The Haskins family is all in a dither because they are expecting, momentarily, the return of the son, Billy, who through his heroic exploits during the shipwreck has be- come a national figure. When the whole town has turned out to welcome Billy his easy going, homeless pal, Cornelius Neeley Crum is mistaken for the hero. Neeley receives the cheer and adulations, until the Haskins family appear to straighten out the error but not until Pamela Payne, the college reporter has whispered to Virginia (Billy's one-time sweetheart) about Neeley's (whom she believes to be Billy) amorous inclinations. Complications pile up when a local filling station is held up. Pamela elopes, and poor Billy is suspected in both cases. Neeley turns up with $200, the exact amount taken in the holdup. Pop Haskins and Smitty, the maid, are drawn into the misunderstanding and Billy concludes that a hero's role is not all that it should be. However in the end Billy is exonerated and wins the girl of his choice. Neeley is adopted by one of the town's most exalted citizens, and the Haskins family once more basks in the reflected glory of the hero.

tycuUwi In the year of 1943 thirteen excited youngsters ran up the steps of the old red brick school building to meet their first grade teacher, Mrs. Runser. Each pupil was in- troduced to the members of the class and as the day wore on we found that our new friends were, LaQuita Hubbard, George Nietfeld, Anna Belle Latta, Blye Cobb, Wilton Haynes, Norma Brittenham, Sylvia Sherrill, Judy Keating, Hazel Walker, Richard Kohling, Jimmie Britton, Leroy Bingham and Jackie Wieser. The next year we found the same class with the exception of Hazel Walker, Richard Kohling, Jackie Wieser, and Judy Keating, all which had moved away. To replace one of them we gained a new pupil, Tony Martinez. Our teacher was still Mrs. Runser, much to our delight. The main event in our first and second grades was the rhythm band. As we journeyed on to our third grades we found a new teacher. Miss Houdeshoudt and we had also gained back two of our friends. Hazel and Judy. Besides Judy and Hazel coming back three boys made their entrance into our class, they were Donald Lloyd Bennett and Alvin Paules. As we came back from our Christmas vacation we found that our teacher had married and her name was now Mrs. Coy. During our fourth grade we had the same teacher and the same class with the exepetion of losing Jimmie Britton, Leroy Bingham and Lloyd Bennett. For our fifth and sixth grades we had Mrs. Dwight Walker for our teacher and we had gained Norman Michel in the fifth grade. In the sixth grade Barbara Copyak, Bobby Kapus, Harry Heller and Wanda Woodcock joined our class. During that period Donald Spray moved av ay. As the years went by we kept about the same class except for losing Harry Heller, Alvin Paules, Barbara Copyak, Tony Martinez, and having Wesley Vroman, Jimmie Stevenson, Herbert Paules and Sam Field join our class. When we entered high school we found our class with 15 members. They were Blye Cobb, Norman Michel, Sylvia Sherrill, George Nietfeld, LaQuita Hubbard, Norma Brittenham, Anna Belle Latta, Hazel Walker, Bobby Kapus, Jimmie Stevenson, Wilton Haynes, Sam Field, Herbert Paules, Wanda Woodcock, and Judy Keating. The main event of that year was Freshmah initiation. At the first of our Sophomore year we gained Barbara Stabio who came from Broadus, Mont. We were very dis- appointed when we did not get to initiate the Freshmen. We are now Juniors and in our class we have another new pupil, which hails from Englewood, Colo. , Jim Rutter. We now have 16 members in our class. On November 13 we presented our Junior Class Play, Call Me Darling . The annual Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet was held April 30th. The theme was Tulip Festival. Music was furnished by the Blue Notes Orchestra of Scottsbluff, Nebraska. 17
