Senior Skip Day An enthusiastic group of Seniors set out at 4:00 a. m. on Friday, May 20, to Denver for their skip day. We stopped at the “Pepper Pod” for breakfast, then went on to Denver ar- riving at 9:00. We then went to the zoo and had great fun looking at all of the animals. This took up quite a bit of time, but after that, we went to the Fitzsimmons hospital, one of the largest hospitals in the United States. We found his a very nice place to go, as it was interesting as well as educational. After dinner we visited the U. S. Mint and found it a very interesting place. The only difficulty was that the guides were forced to carry a gun to keep some of us away from “you know what.” We then took an extensive tour through the Denver Post and were very much amazed at the complicated process involved in putting out such a paper. Whew! They do it every day. One of the most interesting places we visited, was the museum. We couldn’t go through all of it, but what we did see, we enjoyed immensly. Of course, the boys wanted to go to Lowry Field, so some of the girls went along, while others went shopping. We couldn’t go to Denver without seeing a show, so after supper, we all went to one. It was good, but we were beginning to get a little tired by the time we got out. We pulled out of Denver at a rather late time of the night, but we were a tired and happy bunch of Seniors, well pleased with all we had seen and done, on our one and only, skip day! li

The Senior Class Play Little Nell” Ma Wilkens The Mother Pa Wilkens The Father Little Nell Wilkens -------------- The Heroine Hector Sky Scraper The Hero Carleton Bainbridge The Villian The Prompter ................ Always-Off-Stage The Stage Manager Always-Off-Stage The action took place in the Wilkens mortgaged farmstead. ACT I Morning ACT II Noon ACT III Night Little Nell is an old-fashioned Melodrama. It took place in the days of the Showboat on the Mississippi. You will recall reading in such novels as Edna Ferber’s “Showboat” how these old floating theaters traversed the entire course of the inland rivers, stopping wherever a wharf afforded an opportunity to folk and wherever dwellers along the banks afforded an audience for their plays. You will recall also how the audience joined whole-heartedly into the spirit of the show, applauding the valiant hero and winsome heroine, and hissing the evil plotting of the villian. Musical numbers by members of the Senior class served as entertainment be- tween acts. Gloria Kallhoff Fred Cox Ruthe Johnston John Kessler Don Main John Mills Bill Coker 10
