THE SENIOR PLAY The Senior Play was presented March 1 8 in the Hammond High School Audi- torium under the capable direction of Miss Kathryn Dunn. The Show-Off” was a Broadway Comedy hit of a few seasons past. The simpli- city of its humor made it a hit with the audience. The Show-Off,” Aubrey Piper, played by James Hudson was a boasting, bragging sort of fellow, who wore patent leather shoes, a derby hat, a carnation in his lapel, and carried a cane over his arm. He wished to marry Amy Fisher, played by Pauline Gasaway, who thought he was just wonderful.” Mrs. Fisher, Amy’s mother, portrayed by Jean Hurst, was a sar- castic, pessimistic sort of person who was opposed to this marriage. Mr. Fisher, played by Lawrence Collett, didn’t have a chance to say much on the subject although he did dislike Aubrey. Clara, the oldest daughter, was played by Eileen Boland, who was married to Frank Hyland, who always loaned money to Aubrey to get him out of scrapes. Theodore Grummer played Joe Fisher, whose inventions finally worked out to end the families financial worries. Richard Wagner played Mr. Gill, a working companion of Mr. Fisher, and Mr. Rogers, the insurance man, was played by Henry Sankowski, who thought Aubrey would be a good prospect. Aubrey’s boastful character made him disliked, and finally liked by the characters of the play as well as the audience. ( 20 )

HISTORY The Tech Clipper of 193 8, that in 1934 flew quietly into the air of knowledge, is now nearing the end of its long voyage. When the beautiful airship began its voyage, its wings were shiny with new paint, the body was like new, and the inside was newly decorated. The crew was most inexperienced, but they were sturdy and willing workers. The Freshmen were in command when she started this long trip four years ago. Some of the passengers who started with us then dropped off, while others came aboard at our various land- ing places. Many were forced to take a parachute to the ground because of air-sickness and other difficulties. It was hard to let them leave, but success was the goal and all did what they could to reach this destination. One hundred twenty three were aboard when the ship left the Senior airport last September for the last lap of the journey, and as it flew to the last mooring, the crew and passengers were determined to carry on to the end. The beauty of loyalty, companionship, cooperation, stewardship, and etc., was seen along the land- scape and the horizon as this great ship cruised along its way. The ship encountered many storms, and it was sometimes hard to master the trouble, but the pilots of the Clipper managed to keep it up in the air and gained a great deal of knowledge in doing so. When the ship landed, its wings were no longer shiny, the paint was soiled, and the inside was worn which shows that the crew used every opportunity afforded them. As the ship landed, the sky was clear and the sunbeams were giving promises of a glorious day. The ship made a triumphant three-point landing and sent the students into the beckoning world to gain the experience with which to carry on their life’s work. ( 21 )
