‘SwMtenA cvCtfa Royalty cuui faicC rfttitudeA Our Pioneer spirit was displayed again this year with Pep Week, February 22 to the 25. There were signs being painted and meetings of all kinds in preparation for the big game ahead. Cheerleaders and Boosters were practicing new cheers to spur the team to victory. On Monday, students began painting signs and practicing for the skits to be given in Wednesday ' s pep assembly. Tuesday, traditional Blue and White Day, everyone was asked to show off the school colors. Full cooperation was given and the day was a big success. A rousing pep assembly Wednesday morning climaxed the week’s activities. Famous members of society giving their opinions on the coming evening’s game were interviewed. A farmer considered Clark a cinch to win, a ravishing society doll agreed whole heartedly, and a member of the opposing basketball team wasn’t sure just what he thought. The big mo¬ ment came that evening when Clark battled against Highland. On Blue and White Day there were not too many Clarkites who forgot to be loyal with blue and white colors. At Wednesday’s pep session Coach Aldrich cannot quite under¬ stand why Clark has been excluded from those favored to win in the East Chicago Sectional. What did you say, Mademoiselle ShimaLa?” announcer Bill Hoover asks Highland fan. “Clark is not going to win!”

Don Kaminsky “Dear Ruth,” written by Norman Krasna was chosen by the Class of 1960 to be presented on the Clark stage. The two act situation comedy proved to be one of Clark’s most humorous productions. The plot of the story centers around Miriam Wil¬ kin ' s writing of “letters from home” to a certain soldier, Lieutenant William Seawright. The conflict arises when she uses the signature of her older sister Ruth. When the lieutenant unexpectedly comes home, as Judge and Mrs. Wilkins discover, he is set to marry Ruth. Even though the lieutenant has uncovered that Ruth is already engaged to be married to Albert Kum¬ mer, he tries to dissuade her with gifts of lilacs and Cracker Jacks. His gifts are not in vain for the lieu¬ tenant and Ruth are quickly married by Judge Wil¬ kins, much to the despair of Albert. Just as the wedding ceremony is over, another one of Miriam’s pen pals, a homesick sailor, walks in and disrupts the entire family — especially Miriam who has gotten a little tipsy from the “spirits of the world.” Production Director, Miss Rhoda Kittelsen demonstrates an impor¬ tant scene with Jerry Robey. 18
