ffh Hamer Mitchell Cadvisorl, Chuck, Bea, Betty, Don, Miss Mary Hiltner fadvisorl TIME: May l8, l945 PLACE: Iunior High Study Hall CHARACTERS: Charles Kerr ..... ......... P resident Don Settlemire .... .... V ice-president Betty Nye ......... ...... S ecretary Beatrice Barbour , , . .... Treasurer SYNOPSIS: The season was full enough, but the junior-senior prom crowded out all else, as the casts of the third and fourth acts met together for an evening long to be remembered. The prom was the result of all the hard Work of the mem- bers of the junior class and their committees. ' Skating parties and a hillbilly party gave them a start on their final act. A few of their number have been coached on fourth act manners so the class of 1946 looks very promising to the critics. Their main production for the nine-month season was Don't Keep Him Waiting . lt was really a big hit with the high school and the parents, An- other hit Was the annual carnival Where Beatrice Barbour represented them as their beauty queen. Girls and plays held the spotlight for a While but many of the other members had their chance to shine, especially in athletics. Some of the biggest names in football, baseball, track, and basketball were Juniors. Miss Stella Mary Hiltner and Mr. Hamer Mitchell easily coached their cast through a hard year. 16

CHARACTERS: Don Pugh, president, Carl Lange, vice-presidentg Marjorie Schlegel, secretary, Nelda Hardin, treasurer, and 40 extras. SYNOPSIS OF PLAY: FIRST ACT: Early in September of l942, 42 pupils sat in a new room ogling their two new advisors, Karl Riker and Charles Hor- mell. They were in the first state of stage fright, but they managed to get through, with a little coaching. Don Pugh, presidentg Kent Eyler, vice-president: Clarence Dupler, home- room chairman, Shirley Kurtz, secretary, Donna Lou Miller, treasurer, were the char- acters who led the cast. SECCND ACT: Karl Riker and Darrell Lo- well guided the same cast plus a few new additions through their second act, in which Harry Butterfield acted as president, Rufus Williamson, vice-president, and Mary Frail, secretary-treasurer. THIRD ACT: This was a memorable act to all concerned with the Fiesta prom, Aunt Susie Shoots the Works, and several skat- ing parties. The cast was smaller as several boys had left to aid their country. Don Pugh, president, lane Keith, vice president: Nancy lacobs, treasurer: Mary Frail, secretary, with the aid of Miss Shirley Miller and L. C. Van Meter as directors managed a rather suc- cessful year. A FOURTH ACT: ln this act there were many dramatic moments and highlights, ranging from fun to tears. This time L. C. Van Meter and Mrs. Cosette Hauenstein were the coaches. To them the cast owes much, for without them their headaches would have been many. ln this act the senior play, the grand prom, senior pictures, name'cards and invitations held the spotlight. As we look back over this four-act drama in which we starred, we see many things to remember and to cherish. High school days are the best in one's life so they say, and we have tried to make ours the best. The curtain falls on this dress rehearsal and we step, not without hesitation and doubt, onto the stage of life. Let us do our best to make this production, in reality our lives, the very best possible, for it is our one and only chance to act our part well, since this pro- duction will be staged but once. All the world is a stage
