This year March 3lst and April lst, the Senior Class produced the hilarious comedy, The Daffy Dills. The play was filled with humorous situations, keeping the audience in a rollicking mood for two hours throughout all three acts. The story revolved around an average American family, the Dills, in an average large mid-western town. The Dill family, consisting of William Thompson as father Dill, Ruth Tillman as his seventeen year old daughter Carol: lack Hogue and Barbara Gaiss as the thirteen year old twins, Dudley and Doris, and lohn LeValley as the sixteen year old son, Rodney, were taken care of in a rather lax manner by loving Grandmother Dill, portrayed by Caroline Knapp. Surprising his family by telling them of his secret marriage to Elaine Escott, portrayed by Ruth Breen, Mr. Dill left immediately on a business trip. During his absence the shocked and enraged Dill family who wanted anything but a stepmother, made elaborate plans to get rid of her. These included pretenses of insanity and of poverty. Upon arriving, Elaine turned the tables on the family and beat them at their own game by acting more insane than they and by playing all sorts of jokes on them. On the same day as their new stepmother's arrival, cousin Maude arrived and was ordered out of the house by the autocratic and dominating Elaine. 'With the return of father Dill from his business trip, came a surprise to the audience as well as to the Dill family, for Elaine and Cousin Maude had switched identities. Cousin Maude, learning of the Dill's plans to frighten their stepmother away, pretended to be Elaine. Not until the very end of the third act did the audience learn of the ruse. The surprise ending of the play caught the audience unawares and ended the play with a hilarious note. SEN ICR

FRENCH CLUB Le Circle Francaesu opened its social year by electing for its officers Charmaine Claxton, President, William Thompson, Vice-President, Ellen Regan, Secretary, Bud Bonbral-ze, Treasurer. At our meetings We spoke as much French as possible, and we learned many interesting facts about France. Since our skits were so enjoyed by the student body last year, we presented an assembly program again this year. Due largely to Miss Olney's interest and leadership, We enjoyed a successful year which we hope to duplicate next year.

We elected as officers the following: Consul, Richard Conover, Vice-Consul, Ioseph Frickg Aedile, Betty Waibely Quaestor, Patricia Coumbe. We have held several meetings throughout the school year.
