“ ' Pa ' iion, St vuf (?Ca4A x£ ? ?6 The choice for the Junior Class play was “Parlor Story’’ written by William McCleery. This play is a delightful portrayal of the comic plights of Professor Charles Burnett and his meddling but well-meaning family. The setting for the comedy in three acts is the living room of a professor’s home in a small univer¬ sity town. In this parlor we watch Marian Burnett, the too helpful wife, involve her husband in a scheme to secure for him the position of president of the university. As an added trouble, the professor’s daugh¬ ter, Christine, falls in love with Eddie West, the editor of the university newspaper. The final test comes when Governor Sam Bright and the editor of the town paper, Mel Granite, decide to involve the professor and Eddie West in their web of political intrigue. Enmeshed in all these troubles, the professor manages to emerge triumphant, com¬ manding the admiration of his entire family. Marian . I Use Economou K a y.Judi Wampler Charles.Joe Jackson Chris .

' rtywo- Da ' tyau ‘Dance? ' 2uedtcan... The Senior Class dance, “Poinsettia Party,” was climaxed by two kings and two queens, David Talabay and Lenore Kocot, and Bert Mullins and Beth Adams. Band music added spark to Clark’s fun lovin ' dances this year. While popular records still went round and round, at many casual dances a group known as the Rejects played popular rock ’n roll music. Enthu¬ siastic teenagers clapped and screamed their approval of this group composed of Clark students and grad¬ uates. Other popular dance bands appeared at the prom and semi-formal dances. Several dance ideas caught on at Clark. At our Halloween dance students paraded around in their trick or treat costumes and revelled at the discovery of disguised friends. In the true leap-year spirit girls were given an added advantage at several turnabout dances. Various school organizations and classes worked hard to make their dance a successful and enjoyable one. Streamers seemingly floated above the dance floor while clever decorations, expanding upon the theme of the dance, attracted everyone’s eye. The Rejects, a rock and roll group, are a familiar sight at many of the dances. They are composed of present and past students of Clark. 22
