Janet Herendeen Hildegard is anxious to attract the attention of some senior because it is early Saturday night and no one has asked her to the big dance. By winning the school debate against drinking, she finstead of attracting boys with her brainsl convinces everyone that her father is a drunkard. Her mother receives many telephone calls from sympathetic people asking if father beats them often. Mother, who is getting worried about Hildegarde's fear that it is the beginning of the end - and as a final result she will be a lonely old spinster, takes action. Mother knows a nice boy who she is sure would love to go with Hildegard! Hildegarde is very thrilled and is kept in suspense regarding the identity of her unknown admirer. She describes him and the result sounds better than any movie star. Poor Hildegardez How could her motherpick Freddie -- the only boy in school whose old-fashioned parents make him wear knickers! Hildegard finds out the truth in froni of everyone. Naturally Hildegarde wants to break the date but father says, NO, it will punish you for convincing people I am a drunkardf, Also, Freddie is the son o.f father's boss. To top it all oil' Paige fthe little girl Hildegarde is supposed to watch! dis-- tributes to all the neighbors the love letters sent by father to mother. Meanwhile father fin danger of losing his jobb invites his boss to the house to see for himself how sensible his family really is. As father tries to prove this, Hildegarde, her face smeared with beauty clay, dashes screaming into the room. Her fisherman brother has parked a live bass in the bath tub. Freddie then bursts in. He is wearin long 3 pants which lS against the will of his parents. The brother from whom he hav borrowed the pants rushes in after them only to tackle father's bosssby mistake. It looks like the end because Hildegarde is to blame for everything. But all ends X ell 'h H' ' ' v vu en ildegarde and Freddie, Bob and Ellie-May go to the big dance and father may go on working for Mr. Shermer. The play was a big success thanks to Miss Kathryn Schuster who directed it. 20 First I Seconx Fi' Third Oa

gdddwidfddym, ' are man things, but not angels. Our unsuspecting advi?oIl'gsebi'?o'l'1l3lF13353133 gfgjallr, Mrs. BSIFDS, Miss Palmerton and Mr. Cook found us a group of students who needed a guiding light. Although Miss Palmerton was our advisor for only one year, Mrs. Burns and Mr. Cook, known more lntimately to members of our class as Ma Burns and Pa Cook, stayed with us through tl1e four years, and provided us with this guiding light which we needed so much. As Freshmen we chose capable officers with Marilyn Foster, President, Alice VanCamp, Vice-President, Everett Peck, Secretary, Richard Oaks, Treasurer. For class activities, we presented a freshman talent show for assembly, and, it has been proved, our class has quite a bit of latent talent. As Freshmen, we also held a Freshman Frolic, a round and square dance. The .following September, we gaily entered school as Sophomores. There was no doubt about it, we were coming up in the world! At our first class meeting, we elected our officers for the year. William Montgomery was elected President, Paul Bankert, Vice-President, Roger Haich, Secretary-Treasurer. Visions of gay New York were rather hazy at this time, but not so much so that we forgot about raising money for the trip. One of our ventures was the Sophomore Hop, and surprisingly enough, we made a small, and we do mean small, sum. Our good deed for the year was to present awplay for the enjoyment CvwLe.,hQpeJ.,of the other classes. The new Junior Class was'truly.proud of its position. Not, only were we proud to be juniors, b-ut also we found that getting older seems to place more responsi- bility on one'fs shoulders. New York was in clearview, nowl And 'for guidance in leadership we again looked to William Montgomery's capablehguiding hand as Pres- identg Janet Herendeen' was Vice-President, Kenneth Pedersen, Secretary, and Marilyn Foster, Treasurer. 'I Good work brings its own reward, and thus the class found time to order those significant class rings. And although many rings were soon found in circulation, the juniors were proud of their rings, and were discovered polishing them care- fully, and often. We presented a very successful play called Boarding House Reach netting us a goodly sum. Next on the agenda was a Junior P'rom. Under the sponsorship of Jackson and Perkins, we presented our Rose Ball. .At last, at last we found ourselves across that elusive threshold, we were seniors! Marilyn Foster was elected President, William Montgomery, Vice-Pres- 1llCIllQJ1liiI1Cl Herendeen, Secretary, and Roger Haich, Treasurer. Then the merry- o ro f ' ' g - un o actlvlties was on! We finished our magazine campaign with a fine flourish. We presented our Senior Play with success, our Christmas Senior Ball was tied up neatly, the circus netted us some profit. For non-profit entertainment, we present i l ' - - ec anot iei talent show .fol our class asselnbly. There was talent galore! Then came gay New York during Easter Vacation. After our not-to-be-forgotten trip, Commencement loomed on the horizon. Thus we neared the milestone where tl me part of our l'f ' P, , , t completed, only to find that another was just beginning, sbntiexllvherg elselvas almos zz, I, a ingly dl HQIJIJCUS graduatf what I h could hz M y TllCHl0I', Maurice DeClarc Elaine a N ot Phelps. and cult My Wilson 3 Recreati two old this esta also a m On sight, a trooper. trooper thing.
