On April 23, the senior class of 1948 presented the play Harriet,', which has a cast of twenty-seven and uses two different sets. Harrietls personal history is of the gayest, most laughter loving of the brilliant Beecher family. The play opens in Cincinnati upon the day Harriet Beecher Stowe fBetty Dalej returns from her honey- moon with her absent-minded professor husband fLloyd Kundej and announces her intention of leading a com- pletely selfish life devoted to study and writing. When we see her again, she is the poverty-stricken, harassed mother of six mischievous children. In between washing, baking, and babies, she has managed to scribble a few little stories of which the Beechers -- Lyman QRobert Andersonj, Catherine fMuriel Sudburyj, Wfilliam QMelvin Melingj, Edward QCharles Millottej, Henry CMyron Welshj, Charles CDavid Stoverj, and Mary CDorothy Breckenridgej-strongly disapprove. When a helpless old Negress QShirley Connery is cap- tured and dragged back to slavery from the Stowe house, Harriet becomes so angered that she writes a novel portraying the evils of slavery. The expert acting and hard work of the cast, crews, and the director, Mrs. Olson, surely deserved the great ovation given them. This successful presentation of Harriet marked the final climax to an eventful senior year.

Junior Prom Features Spring Fantasy Buy a mum! Check your coat? Stationery makes a fine gift, won,t you buy some?l' These were the cries of the juniors who were anxious to raise money for their prom. In a close election in September, Dick Krahenbuhl was chosen as President to lead the class through the year. Athletic juniors were out for football and basketball. Don Plumley, Paul Plumley, and Bill Felt held first string positions on the Varsity football team. The foot- ball first string was backed up by Dick Krahenbuhl, Duane Yetter, Ralph Kingsbury, Robert Palmer, John Moore, Hughes Morris, Don Westbrook, James Reed, Chuck Heron, Carl Dilling, James Yeo, Clifton With- row, and Aaron Sloniker. The Plumleys also held first string basketball positionsg they were backed by Dick Krahenbuhl, Paul Lewis, and Dick Osborough. Many surprising things happened in history class, but no one was more surprised than Dick Osborough, a newcomer from Amboy this year, when Rodney Smith stood up! It seems Rodney was picking some paper off the floor when Dick decided to play leap frog. Just as he started to jump, Rodney stood up with Dick on his shoulders! Musically inclined juniors reported at 8:45 for band practice. Orchestra, Chorus, German Band, Brass Sex- tet, and Clarinet Quartet also drew many of these am- bitious students. The juniors were very active in Dramatics this year. In November, Joan Herrmann played the leading role of Maggie Cutler in the Jester production of The Man Who Came To Dinnern. Chuck Heron, Maurine Guest, Jaclee Sutton, Marilyn Morrissey, and Tom Herrmann were also in the cast. In February, Chuck Heron por- trayed Sir Joseph Porter in the UH. M. S. Pinaforef, Tom Herrmann narrated the contest play Mind-Setn. Maurine Guest and Carolyn XVillms took parts in Ro- chelle's N.C.I.C. play, New School of Wivesn. Caro- lyn was chosen for the all-star cast. Junior committees plan their prom. u KNEELING: Fred Harrison, Student Councilg Miss Howell, Sponsor, Don Plumley, Vice-Presidentg Jim Reed, Treasurer, Dick Krahenbuhl, President. SiaAT1aD: John Bienfang, Secretary, Joan Herrmann Student Council. Cn February 22, Marilyn Morrissey, Joan Herrmann, and Carolyn Wfillms were initiated into the National Thespian Society. F. F. A., G. A. A., and F. H. A. had many active members and officers from the junior class. Forty new members from our class greatly increased the size of the Beaker Breakers. On May 15, Juniors and Seniors danced amid flow- ers and spring scenes which set the mood for our Spring Fantasy Prom. Music was supplied by Don Adams' nine-piece orchestra from Joliet, Illihois. XVe thank Miss Howell for her help and co-opera- tion in making our junior year, especially our prom, a success.
