They showed a great deal of enthusiasm and were most eager to participate in all school functions. Ken Billings, Dave Cammett, Bill Corley, Dave Curran, Fran James, and Dennis George went out for football. Steve Crane, Dave Curran, Bill Corley, Dave Cammett, Bob Dion, Dennis George, and Bill Hatcher went out for bas- ketball. Many of these fellows are regular second string- ers. Ted Manning proved to be a reliable assistant mana- ger for football and basketball. Many girls took part in the Intramural Program. Jean Anderson and Bonny Clapp were on the winning JCC ' s basketball team. The freshmen also did their part in defraying the ex- penses of the yearbook. Competition for the magazine subscription prizes reached fever pitch with the freshmen running a close second to the junior class. Mary Ellen Knox, Jean Kinney, Peter Dalton, and Nancy Manning were among the top fifteen salesmen who won attractive prizes. Scholastically the freshmen did very well the first quarter with Nancy Manning, Judy Christiansen, Jean Kinney, and Evelyn Jennings on the high honor roll and Rebecca Drew, Mary Ellen Knox, Cynthia Radack, and Stephen Crane on the honor roll. We understand that the class of 1960 will be the rich- est to graduate from Story. They are charging 50 cents a month dues and are doing a good job of collecting it. At the November meeting of the Parent Teachers As- sociation, Mr. Leach ' s class won the attendance banner. This meant that in proportion to the number in a class there were more parents from that class than from any other. Story ' s new citizens have fitted well into school life and promise to be leaders in the years ahead. i m

THE REMARKABLE INCIDENT AT CARSON CORNERS On Friday evening, April 6, 1956, the curtain rose on a tense dra- ma of mystery and suspense. The play was a dramatic story of a trial put on by the students of Carson Corners High School who were at- tempting to convict the school janitor of negligence, which resulted in the death of one of their classmates, Bill McGinnis. The audience was held in suspense from the moment the curtain rose till the final dramatic and unexpected ending. Behind the scenes, stage managers Marie Barrier and Susan Cole were all set to cue, while Kay Brown, in charge of props, was setting up die very effective flash backs. The stage crew, under Don Towle ' s direction, and the wardrobe committee directed by Agnes Burgess, bodi did commendable jobs. Thanks to Anne Guenet, publicity di- rector, the auditorium was filled to capacity. Sheila Emslie, with the help of members of the Manchester Players, did a most remarka- ble job of transforming Story students into citizens of Carson Comers. The cast and crew did a terrific job and special thanks and con- gratulations are due Mr. Fred Nickless, the very capable and hard- working director.
